KSEC designs better with Solid Edge

This tobacco processing machine maker moved from 2D to 3D design with Solid Edge (Siemens PLM Software) and gained better fit-and-function analysis. KSEC partnered with Siemens PLM Software and purchased 200 seats of Solid Edge software for use throughout its engineering departments. With Solid Edge, KSEC is now able to show large 3D assembly models rather than 2D paper drawings. "A 3D model communicates a complex assembly far more effectively than drawings. Teams can now quickly visualize design intent, which lets them more effectively evaluate new products at design reviews," said Fu Ya Li, director of the KSEC information center. http://ow.ly/MiRJw

Anglo Platinum designs better with Solid Edge

The mining machinery maker moved from 2D to 3D CAD and, with Solid Edge (Siemens PLM Software), reducing mine design time up to 12 months. Drawing/design man hours are saved by using 3D designs and automating the generation of 2D drawings. Anglo Platinum recorded significant savings in engineering, construction and interest costs. "Switching to 3D CAD has helped us reduce the time required to design, fabricate and construct a 200,000-ton-per-month mine complex significantly," said Len Pretorius, general manager for project services at Anglo Platinum.

Toshiba designs better with Solid Edge

This radar and radio systems manufacturer moved from 2D to 3D CAD and cuts design errors 75 percent with Solid Edge (Siemens PLM Software). Fewer design errors translated into saving money (9 million Japanese yen) saved across several projects. Manufacturing time declined 30 percent and overall task time dropped 50 percent across design, manufacturing and validation. “With the implementation of Solid Edge, we began doing all design work in 3D, starting with basic design. One of benefits of this is that it is now easier to communicate design concepts to others in the company,” said Takaya Ogawa, Komukai operations at Toshiba.
