Challenge

Establish and grow startup smartphone accessory products company through fast, effective new product design and production to support newly launched smartphone models more quickly than the competition.

Solution

Implement SOLIDWORKS Professional design software.

Results

  • Grew annual revenue from zero to $10 million
  • Turned new products around in a matter of weeks
  • Sold over a half million units in five years
  • Improved interaction with moldmakers

To match the continual curvature of today’s smartphones, we use a hybrid of surface and solid modeling in SOLIDWORKS. We find the fill and boundary surface tools give us the best results for controlling tangency and curvature to obtain the right shape. Creating the blends and transitions in our products is only possible using the powerful surfacing tools in SOLIDWORKS Professional.
