Case Study: Howe and Howe Technologies achieves 10x faster fabrication and massive cost savings with Dassault Systèmes (SolidWorks)

Pushing the limits of extreme vehicle design with SolidWorks

Howe and Howe, the twin‑founder extreme vehicle and robotics company, needed to dramatically speed up the design, fabrication, and assembly of military‑spec and experimental vehicles while continuing to push the limits of innovation. To solve that challenge they adopted Dassault Systemes' SolidWorks Premium 3D design software as their core engineering and manufacturing platform.

Dassault Systemes' SolidWorks Premium enabled 3D modeling, weldments and CNC‑ready outputs to drive plasma torches and tubular cutters, transforming workflows at Howe and Howe. The result: fabrication time was shortened by 1000% (a tenfold improvement), scrap costs fell by 850%, the business scaled from a hobby to a multimillion‑dollar R&D contractor, and the company increased its project capacity and design innovation.
