Challenge:

  • To reduce the amount of time in creating multiple drawing views
  • Improved visualisation for use by semi skilled employees
  • Creating marketing material for clear interpretation by our customers
  • Being able to do interference checks between components in our assemblies

SolidWorks Benefits:

  • Slight variations happen in minutes rather than days
  • One designer is now achieving what 2 designers did before in Autocad 2D
  • Could not have grown at the rate we have without SolidWorks and the support team at Intercad
  • Using powerful assembly configuration functionality to create model variations in extremely quick time. Reduced our scrap rate from design errors to almost 0%.

“SolidWorks has been a major step forward for my companies growth. Our productivity has increased in the region of 150%.”
