What you may know, however, is that your current mouse set up doesn\u2019t quite satisfy your workflow. After working with many product design and CAD pros, we\u2019ve found that working on screen with the comfort and precision of a pressure-sensitive pen benefits their productivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jesse Hahne, partner and lead industrial designer at the <a href=\"https:\/\/centerforadvanceddesign.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Center for Advanced Design<\/a>, shows how Wacom products help streamline his creative workflow. With Wacom products, he\u2019s been able to carve out a niche for his work, creating complex surface geometry for the plastics industry, prosthetics, surfacing for automotive, consumer goods, and packaging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Wacom streamlines product design\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/A7RB07FpQKE?feature=oembed\"  allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Wacom for product design and CAD<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wacom\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/community.wacom.com\/en-us\/en-us\/wacom-cintiq-pro-pen-display\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Cintiq Pro<\/a> and MobileStudio Pro family of products complement <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solidworks.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Dassault Syst\u00e8mes\u2019 SOLIDWORKS<\/a> 3D and CAD design software by offering an intuitive and completely natural pen-on-screen experience.
