Challenge

Revamp product development to support greater throughput, so the fi rm could take advantage of market opportunities for innovative new aircraft.

Solution

Implement SOLIDWORKS Premium design and analysis, SOLIDWORKS Simulation Professional analysis, SOLIDWORKS Electrical Schematics design, SOLIDWORKS Electrical 3D design, and SOLIDWORKS PDM Professional product data management software solutions.

Results

  • Cut design cycles in half
  • Increased aircraft sales from 4 to 54 annually
  • Grew product development throughput by factor of 12
  • Improved design accuracy and quality dramatically

The move to SOLIDWORKS is really helping us bring our product development operation to the next level by enabling us to automate our design and manufacturing processes as much as possible.
