The Challenge
Berkshire Manufactured Products manufactures complex precision stamping and machined components for domestic and international markets in the aircraft, aerospace, high-tech, automotive, communications, medical and numerous other industries. The company chose SolidWorks 3D CAD software because of the complex shapes and designs its aerospace components.
