Challenge

Increase manufacturing capacity and reduce cycle times by accelerating tooling and fixture development to support growth and expansion into new markets.

Solution

Implement SOLIDWORKS Professional design, SOLIDWORKS Premium design and analysis, SOLIDWORKS Simulation Professional analysis, and SOLIDWORKS Composer technical communication software solutions.

Results

  • Increased manufacturing output by 40 percent
  • Reduced production cycle times by 30 percent
  • Improved product quality
  • Expanded into mold and cast parts markets

Most of our customers use SOLIDWORKS design software and provide a SOLIDWORKS model file along with associated drawings, so it made sense to use a common platform for tooling and fixture development because it makes life easier for everyone involved in terms of communication, visualization, and the flexibility to make design changes.
