8. Respiratory masks (reusable types)
Unlike disposable masks, advanced respirators are designed to be reused and made from more durable materials that can be cleaned and used repeatedly. They are often made from high-performance materials like nylon or polyester, and the filtration layers are made of activated carbon or HEPA filters.


Design for Manufacturing (DFM) Integrate manufacturing capabilities into the design phase to improve production efficiency. - Simplified models
- Modular approaches - Reduction of production costs
- Streamlining of manufacturing processes - Reconciling design complexity and manufacturability - Assembly elements
- Modular subassemblies
Thermal and environmental resistance Design parts to withstand extreme temperatures and environmental conditions typical of aerospace. - High performance materials
- Coatings - Improves reliability under harsh conditions
- Increases component life - Limited material options
- Environmental compliance testing - Engine components
- External structures


Support for solid modeling, surface modeling (Boundary Rep/B-rep) Support for 2D and 3D surface modeling
Support for parametric modeling and feature-based modeling It does not support parametric data
Management of complex and highly detailed geometries Difficulties with complex and detailed 3D geometries
X_T files are human readable; X_B files are not. Human readable (text format)
Native to Parasolid powered CAD systems (SolidWorks, Siemens NX) Widely supported by many CAD systems
Faster Performance with Binary Option (X_B) Slower due to larger file sizes and older technology
Full support for Boolean operations on solids (union, subtraction, intersection) Limited support for Boolean operations
Common in industries requiring high precision (aerospace, automotive, manufacturing) Support for legacy CAD systems or data exchange across multiple applications.
Comparison Chart: Parasolid vs. STEP
Parasolid specializes in solid modeling and the systems fan database that support it. STEP is typically used for cross-platform data sharing and offers excellent compatibility with various CAD software.
