HW Ventilation Achieves 10x Faster Design Times Using DriveWorks Solo
HW Ventilation, based in Rescaldina Italy is a leading company in the ventilation and air movement systems industry. They design, produce and sell axial impellers and ventilators for industrial use. This includes engine cooling systems, compressors, industrial plants and HVAC systems.
The Challenge
Before implementing DriveWorks, their lengthy design process required an engineer to draw every new product or variation of an existing product from scratch inside SOLIDWORKS®. HW Ventilation wanted to free up their engineers from these time-consuming and repetitive tasks.
The Solution
Using DriveWorks Solo enabled their engineers to automatically generate brand new SOLIDWORKS files and manufacturing data, such as bills of materials and 2D drawings, based on each individual form input.
Automating repetitive modelling tasks has enabled HW Ventilation to quickly generate 3D models of any type of fan, based on a set of standard variables, such as blade and hub types, fan diameter, material and color rotation.
The Benefits
Implementing DriveWorks Solo has enabled HW Ventilation to respond to customer demand faster and with more efficiency, as they now spend a lot less time drawing the same but different designs.
Their customers now receive a drawing of the product they require almost instantly, and personalized quotes are sent out much quicker.
“Our design process using DriveWorks Solo is 10 times faster than our previous manual process. Our engineers also don’t have to waste time making drawings and instead can focus their time on more rewarding projects.”
