The Challenge
Modular Services Company designs, fabricates, and manufactures headwall systems for use in patient-care areas and clinical environments. Although the company initially decided to move its design platform from AutoCAD 2D software to the Autodesk Inventor 3D system in 2004, the firm decided to implement SolidWorks Professional 3D CAD software in 2005 for new product development, special projects, and manufacturing.
The Solution
Modular Services Company selected SolidWorks Professional software because of its ease of use, compatibility with other 3D technologies, manufacturing flexibility, and sheet-metal and large-assembly capabilities. By deploying SolidWorks CAD software, the company accelerated time-to-market on its exclusive PumpStar product, dramatically improved its handling of assemblies, reduced the time required to convert 2D sheet-metal flat patterns to 3D by 99 percent, and enhanced its design visualization and communication capabilities.
