For custom louver window fabricators, traditional manual design methods lead to long cycle times, errors, and lost productivity. CAD design automation with tools like DriveWorks offers a better approach by capturing rules and automating repetitive tasks. By creating configurable templates, fabricators can rapidly generate 3D models, drawings, quotes, and manufacturing data for customized louver configurations. Integrated with their pricing and ERP systems, automated designs flow seamlessly through the workflow. Overall, CAD automation transforms custom louver design from a labor-intensive bottleneck to a competitive advantage.

A USA-based sheet metal equipment fabricator hired Hitech CADD Services to develop a DriveWorks configurator for fire truck equipment. Check out the case study on how the client improved the functionalities of the existing DriveWorks configurator and streamlined logical rules and output models by partnering with us.

A modular washroom designer and manufacturer from UK hired Hitech CADD Services to develop a 3D visual configurator that will provide an interactive user interface to customers for design visualization and directly generate technical sales and engineering documents. Using DriveWorks configurator and SolidWorks master models, we helped the client save significant time by eliminating errors in detailing. Check out the full case study.

The manufacturing industry faces volatile design trends that drive competitiveness amongst manufacturers and designers with reduced delivery lead times. Several industries depending on manufacturing firms are always in a hurry to get their furniture accurately made and delivered on time. To help designers and manufacturers fight the tight deadlines, 3D configurators powered by DriveWorks can get the drawings designed and delivered to the shop floor in a jiffy. Check out the infographic from Hitech CADD Services that outlines the 4-step process to build a table configurator leveraging DriveWorks, today!

Communicating the right design intent across the manufacturing value chain for any retail furniture manufacturer is critical. Any gaps in product design information exchange adversely hit the buying experience of customers and leads don’t convert. An interactive visual configurator not only closes many of these gaps but enhances the purchase experience by empowering the personalization of furniture 3D models in real time.

Manufacturing with customization is one of the biggest challenges for discrete product manufacturers. It has an iterative design process that takes up a significant amount of time of the design cycle. Design automation offers great opportunities to eliminate repetitive tasks and accelerate the design cycle. From developing configurators to CAD macros, there are numerous ways. Explore the methods to automate designs and the benefits that it brings through this infographic.

Despite the widespread popularity of custom products, there are multiple drawbacks that they bring to the table. And manufacturers are left with endless delays and uncertainties. Visual product configurators bridge the gap between the sales team and the customers to keep manufacturers and engineers abreast of what is being sold and designed. Here are some more benefits of why is a visual configurator a must-have catalyst to boost sales of custom products.

Balconies come in various sizes and designs and have different materials. Customizing each to building needs is a difficult task. 3D CAD modeling and CAD automation using automation tools and macros help accelerate the design process. Find out more in this article.

Metal furniture manufacturers often fail to scale product deliveries on time due to traditionally languid design iterations and customization. It impacts the engineering lead time and increases overall project costs. Know how an efficient DriveWorks implementation can reduce design time while automating design customization effectively.
