A doors and frames manufacturer from Australia hired us to develop MS excel based SolidWorks configurator tool. Our design automation team created MS Excel spreadsheet with VBA scripts that will reduce design cycle time for custom doors and frames and enable the client to automatically generate standard files, parts, assemblies, drawings, DXF files, BOMs, etc. Check out the full case study.

CAD customization eliminates the time consumed in redesigning the models from scratch. It stands true even for the products that are the same but different in some attributes. The customized features can be incorporated by selecting from a list of predefined options in a CAD product configurator. Such CAD product configurators help in mixing permissible choices and matching the customer’s choices as inputs and generate engineering drawings. Read more to find how CAD customization help manufacturers eliminate the engineering factor in generating drawings and create BOMs, sales quotes, and generate manufacturing drawings.

The power of CAD and design automation will help manufacturers and designers, both, to achieve their goals. Design automation gives the capability to design engineers to create designs only once and use them repeatedly numerous times instead of repetitively designing the same things numerous times. It gives them more design scope and time, and simplifies design changes as well. Read more.
