Three-dimensional drawing software is an important tool for modern industrial design. Speaking of my country’s development in this field, not long ago, a university professor regretfully mentioned: About 30 years ago, a certain university in my country independently developed a 3D graphics software, but not long after, foreign companies greatly reduced Price, foreign products started early and matured, and soon seized the market. As there were no users, this autonomous software eventually withdrew from the market.

  Currently, my country is accelerating the transformation from a large manufacturing country to a strong manufacturing country. As a key support for intelligent manufacturing, industrial software is of great strategic significance for promoting the transformation and upgrading of manufacturing. After years of development, my country’s domestic industrial software has made some progress, but there is still a clear gap compared with the international advanced level. Among them, there are factors such as weak basic research and development and insufficient accumulation of industrial software in my country, but also have a lot to do with the lack of applications.

  Industrial software is often not a single scattered technology, but a system, which is a collection of knowledge of various disciplines, which needs to be integrated with various knowledge in production practice, and then updated and iterated. Industrial production and manufacturing have extremely high requirements for software accuracy, stability, and reliability. These all need to be continuously adjusted, expanded, and perfected in the application, which cannot be achieved in one step. The international mainstream industrial software products are all polished and upgraded technology through constant trial and error. After decades of “use”, they have been recognized by the industry. To a certain extent, it can be said that “use” is the mother of industrial software.

  To strengthen domestic industrial software, we must first strengthen the belief in independent innovation. If high-end industrial software is not available, can’t be bought, and can’t be negotiated, we can only start from the basics, write line of code, and make application modules one by one. More importantly, it is necessary to create a good application ecology for domestic industrial software. my country has the advantages of large market scale and rich application scenarios, and continuous returns can boost the continuous upgrading of technology. For a domestically-made independent software, perhaps the 1.0 version of the interface needs to be improved and its stability needs to be improved, but as long as more and more people dare to eat crabs and more engineers participate in enriching the ecology, it can continuously optimize its performance and move towards mature. In addition, we must respect intellectual property rights and consciously resist pirated software. Using cheap pirated products seems to save money and take advantage. In the long run, it actually hits the enthusiasm for independent innovation and destroys the foundation of the healthy development of the industry.

  Strengthening domestic industrial software, another key point is the need to strengthen the collaboration of production, education and research. Scientific research personnel write core codes and build frameworks. For industrial software, it is only a breakthrough from 0 to 1. In order to realize the value, it needs to continuously improve the stability, practicability and maturity in “use”. This requires cooperation between industry, academia and research institutes, research institutes, enterprises and other parties to refine core technical difficulties and key industry issues. All parties collaborate to tackle key problems and jointly create autonomous and controllable domestic industrial software.
