Case Study: Superheat cuts heat‑treatment package turnaround 30–50% and boosts throughput with DraftSight Professional

Accelerating Heat-Treatment Quality Package Development with DraftSight Professional

Superheat, a leading on-site heat-treatment provider, needed a better way to handle customer DWG files, accelerate heat-treatment package development, and manipulate drawing layers to protect its IP—capabilities its previous 2D tool lacked. To solve this, Superheat evaluated and adopted DraftSight Professional 2D design software.

By replacing SmartDraw with DraftSight Professional and deploying multiple licenses, DraftSight enabled Superheat to read DWG files, manipulate layers, and reuse designs from a 2,300-configuration library. The result: a 30–50% reduction in heat-treatment package turnaround time, higher drawing throughput, fewer errors and improved drawing quality, and growth that doubled the size of its engineering department.
