3D for Parts Pages improves productivity by 88%
Rimpull is a major manufacturer of earthmoving
vehicles for the mining and construction industries. They have implemented a
SolidWorks solution for product design that has helped them obtain faster
time-to-market and the ability to create more complex vehicles. The disruption
in the engineering department led to bottlenecks downstream...

3D communication reduces time-to-market, training costs and service errors
Atlas was a new adopter of Autodesk Inventor for
3D product design. The product design team was very excited about the
time-to-market improvements and the ability to create more complex designs.
New designs were completed faster and this was putting pressure on the
manufacturing team to improve the assembly process to keep up with the more
efficient engineering pipeline...

3D CAD files for Documentation Improves Productivity by 83%, Time-TO-Market by
25%
Al-jon, a best-in-class manufacturer of scrap
processing and solid waste equipment, uses Autodesk Inventor to design new
products. Inventor has allowed Al-jon to enjoy a significant improvement
in engineering efficiency, resulting in an increase in the complexity and
number of products ready for downstream documentation. However, the pace of engineering has shifted the
time-to-market bottleneck downstream to the documentation effort...

3D Downstream improves time-to-market while improving catalog quality
Amphenol is one of the largest manufacturers of
interconnect products worldwide. The SineSystems subsidiary uses SolidWorks 3D
CAD to design cable assemblies. Downstream marketing and
documentation processes have been impacted by the change from a 2D design
package to a 3D CAD package because general-use downstream authoring tools do
not support 3D CAD data...

Authoring Tools improve Engineer productivity while offering new interactive
capabilities
Hydrohoist designs and manufactures boat lifts
for worldwide commercial and consumer markets. Hydrohoist holds a patent on
hydro-pneumatic boat lists and leverages SolidWorks to design products using
3D CAD. In this case, the team of engineers is responsible for
the creation of technical specifications that are delivered to marinas to
describe product capabilities...
