Case Study: Byers Precision Fabricators achieves high-precision fabrication and faster CAD workflows with Dassault Systèmes' DraftSight

Byers Precision Fabricators - Customer Case Study

Byers Precision Fabricators, a family‑owned North Carolina metal shop known for “the work no one else wants to do,” faced extreme precision challenges building glove boxes for the nuclear industry where even microscopic defects are unacceptable. To program laser cutters and punch machines from DWG/DXF files they needed an efficient 2D CAD solution, so CAD manager Jeff Cox turned to DraftSight, the professional‑grade 2D CAD product from Dassault Systemes.

Dassault Systemes’ DraftSight replaced an underused AutoCAD seat, cutting licensing cost and speeding shop programming; its Quick Select tool alone saved at least an hour on a 500‑hole job by automatically categorizing holes by diameter. The result: faster, lower‑cost part preparation and sustained capacity to win and deliver high‑precision government and nuclear projects while maintaining Byers Precision Fabricators’ quality and delivery standards.
