To calculate ROI for 3D design projects, compare total financial benefits generated against total costs incurred, then express the result as a percentage.
Key steps include: - **Quantify benefits**: Track time savings (e.g., faster prototyping), improved product quality (fewer design errors), or increased sales from enhanced design appeal. - **Sum costs**: Include 3D software licenses, designer salaries, hardware, and material expenses. - **Apply the formula**: ROI = [(Total Benefits - Total Costs) / Total Costs] x 100.
For accuracy, clearly define measurable benefits (e.g., hours saved per project) and document all direct/indirect costs.
