The Challenge
MooBella has pioneered a revolutionary, innovative machine that makes a single serving of fresh, flavored-to-order ice cream in about 45 seconds. After obtaining funding for its market-changing idea, the company needed an easy-to-use, highly collaborative 3D design platform to transform its early technical concept into a commercially viable, manufacturing-ready machine.
The Solution
The company chose SolidWorks Premium software because it is easy to use, provides innovative capabilities, and includes the visualization and communications tools that MooBella needs to sustain its seamless collaborative design effort. The company also values integrated SolidWorks® product data management software and SolidWorks® Simulation software. By deploying SolidWorks, MooBella shortened its product design cycle by at least 33 percent, reduced its product development costs by 50 percent, facilitated collaboration through improved design communication, and improved product quality and performance.
