DriveWorks Solo in action
Carrosserie Cazaux are a leading manufacturer of custom-made refrigeration units for carrier vehicles, as well as containers, cold rooms, trailers and custom units.
Carrouserie Cazaux needed a product configurator that could be used inside SOLIDWORKS to drive dimensions, appearances and feature placement on their models.
Using DriveWorks Solo, Carrosserie Cazaux have developed a configurator used by their engineering team. The configurator automates the creation of manufacturing data and drawings, updating each one with the designer, date and client.
A key feature of DriveWorks Solo for Carrosserie Cazaux is the ability to work with tabular data. Data from existing databases and spreadsheets is imported as static tables, allowing the data to be queried and used to drive new variations.
“DriveWorks is interactive and fun to use. The most important thing is DriveWorks Solo has increased the speed in getting our products into production.”
Guillaume Guerin, Design Engineer at Carrosserie Cazaux
