Some software can be used for more than one application among CAD, CAM and CAE. These tools are continually updated and new ones are developed, so engineers need to keep their skills and knowledge up-to-date to make the most of these resources. And our company always choose the most appropriate software to meet the engineereing needs of our customers.

Case Studies

Case Study 1: Streamlining Production in Automotive Industry

Background: An automotive manufacturer was experiencing inefficiencies in their production line leading to increased costs and extended production times.

Solution: Our CAD/CAM/CAE Engineer redesigned the assembly line using CAD, improving workflow and ergonomics. They then used CAM software to optimize the machining parameters, significantly reducing waste and increasing efficiency. Finally, with CAE tools, they ran simulations to ensure the new system would function as intended without disrupting current production.

Result: The redesigned production line led to a 20% increase in productivity and a 15% decrease in production costs.

Case Study 2: Improving a Medical Device Design

Background: A medical device company was facing issues with a device design, resulting in reduced performance and high manufacturing costs.

Solution: Our CAD/CAM/CAE Engineer used CAD software to redesign the problematic components, improving performance and simplifying the manufacturing process. The CAM tools were then used to plan the new manufacturing process, reducing costs. Finally, they used CAE tools to simulate and verify the design changes would result in the desired improvements without unforeseen issues.

Result: The redesigned device had improved performance, reduced production costs, and increased market competitiveness.

Case Study 3: Advancing Aerospace Components

Background: An aerospace company needed to develop a new, lightweight component but was facing difficulties in the design and manufacturing stages.

Solution: Our CAD/CAM/CAE Engineer designed the new component using CAD software, taking advantage of advanced materials and innovative design techniques to reduce weight.
