Northeast Fabricators, LLC


Model ST Salt/Sand Spreader

The Results

  • Decreased development time by 30 percent
  • Lowered development costs by 30 percent
  • Reduced design errors by 30 percent

"Once we tried the software, we were impressed by its power compared to AutoCAD."
- Burt Goulet, Sheet Metal Engineer

VAR: CADimensions

The Challenge

Our design engineers needed to reduce development costs by redesigning our salt/sand spreader with fewer parts, less welding, and less manpower for assembly.

The Solution

One of our engineers took the time to test the full potential of SolidWorks software by applying it to the redesign of our project. Once we tried the software, we were impressed by its power compared to AutoCAD. SolidWorks achieved all our goals by enabling us to evaluate parts and assemblies before production.
