Hot take: Our shop switched from manual layout to 3D modeling for pressure vessel heads. The rework rate went from about 15% to under 2% in a year. Was it the software or just better training?

But that drop is probably from the training, not the software. New tools force people to learn the right way from scratch. The old manual process was just being done wrong.

Wait, you're saying the old way was just wrong? That's wild. So for years, people were doing the whole process badly, and it took a new software to fix it? That feels like a huge oversight. I mean, @nathanwalker, think about the time and money wasted before. Someone should have caught that way sooner with better training, not just a software update.
