A Altair Case Study
KORG Italy, the design and production arm of the Japanese Korg corporation, creates high‑end digital pianos and electronic arranger keyboards that must house complex internal mechanisms. Faced with frequent late‑stage changes to internal components that could force costly redesigns, KORG adopted Altair’s solidThinking Evolve to retain design flexibility and control throughout the development cycle.
Using Altair’s solidThinking Evolve, KORG leveraged Construction History/ConstructionTree capabilities to quickly adapt initial designs to component changes, explore more alternatives, and apply the tool to packaging and case design. The vendor’s solution delivered a substantial increase in design productivity, faster accommodation of engineered part changes, and higher product quality and style — outcomes KORG now demonstrates by exhibiting instruments at Milan’s Salone del Mobile.
