Design Automation

Manufacturers have a lot of demands placed upon them today. They must design, build and ship products faster than ever to stay above the rising competition. They must be innovative, sustainable and design increasingly customized products.

Companies that manufacture highly customized products often struggle with the large amount of manual work involved in specifying and designing custom products.

Design automation is the solution to the problems cited above.

Design Automation is the execution of all tasks of the design process of a product by a software application.

Typically design automation applications feature both fully automated tasks as well as semi-automated tasks that require user-interaction and often feature computer aided design and computer aided engineering systems.

In product engineering, many modeling tasks can be fairly repetitive, which is especially true when dealing with part and product families that share many of the same features or components with only subtle differences.

We can help you eliminate many of these trivial tasks using automated tools for authoring and generating configurations of features, parts, and assemblies that are commonly used inside your company, but are unique to your products.

By implementing design automation, manufacturers can complete days of custom engineering in just minutes. Design automation also simplifies the creation of SolidWorks software models, drawings, quote documents, manufacturing data and any requirement of the custom sales process.

Design automation always leads to unbelievable savings of time as well as increased quality and margin of your projects by reducing errors, eliminating repetitious work and enables your engineering team to focus on product development.

Design automation is an important aid to quality control because the output is based on specified rules, results are consistent and accurate, reducing the risk of costly errors.

Preparing engineering drawings is costly and time-consuming for manufacturers. Manufacturing companies that do repetitive engineering design, who design for every sale, are the biggest beneficiaries of design automation.
