Why use 2D rather than 3D in CAD?

ham_revilo — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 20:52:17 +0800

i just found a job in a company which design and manufacture some machines. the question is, why a company that has been establish for over 40 years still using 2D to design and even using this in their R&D dept. just curious though. btw, the design involve lots of parts and very complex assembly.

so what is the benefit in 2D compared to 3D CAD drawing?

2. Box and Bundle

The packaging seems strong and it has an handle for easy carrying. Although the box doesn't look very stylish but on the back of the box has list all the feature of the cooler including the MFDB fan, the heat sink and of course the TX-2 which they provide. Specification of the cooler s then listed on the side along with the compatibility list.

Inside the box

Inside the box, you will see two package which is the accessories box (White) and the heatsink which i think is well protected. So posting your CCF would be very safe .

1. Push-pin Bracket
2. Tuniq TX-2
3. Fan Clip
4. Fan Controller
5. Manual

For those who lost the manual, you may refer to the below link:
