Pässilä Bicycles Slashes Prototyping from 3 Months to 3 Weeks with SOLIDWORKS and 3DEXPERIENCE Works

Pässilä Bicycles moved to SOLIDWORKS design tools and cloud-based 3DEXPERIENCE Works solutions to improve collaboration, develop more advanced products, and support growth

Challenge

Advance the development of titanium bicycles, frames, and components by shortening design-through-prototyping cycles, facilitating greater collaboration, and creating more complex product designs.

Solution

Replace 2D tools with SOLIDWORKS 3D design software and connect collaborators in the cloud via the 3DEXPERIENCE® platform.

Results
  • Cut time-to-prototype from three months to three weeks
  • Improved quality using 3D visualization and collision detection tools
  • Realized transparent data management
  • Enhanced collaboration in the cloud
