Simtex Mechatronic Pte Ltd

Company Background:

SIMTEX provides mechanical design services for hydraulics applications in the marine, construction, defense and some electronics industry.

Challenges:

  Needed a software with the ability to generate the design out in as little time as possible, but also

    to effectively communicate the designs with their customers and suppliers

  Visualizing the positions of the hydraulic fluid pipes within a machine in 3 different views was

    tricky, so was generating an isometric drawing in 2D

How SolidWorks helps to overcome these challenges:

  Other that its reasonable pricing and longer history in the 3D-CAD environment, SolidWorks has

    shorten the timeframe to design large assemblies

Testimonial:

�With SolidWorks, Simtex was able to design directly in 3D, and generate isometric and 2D drawings automatically. The transparency function allowed the designers to visualize the hidden and intersecting pipes in an enclosed space. It was also far easier to generate production drawings for a 3000-part assembly than before. As a result, Simtex was able to reduce design time by 50%. Configuration manager within SolidWorks has allowed end users to work on configurations of assemblies very conveniently. The Configuration Manager also makes these files sizes remain very small for easy sharing of information.
