Case Study: HeatTek reduces design costs and shortens lead times with DraftSight

HeatTek triples revenue with DraftSight

HeatTek Inc., a provider of high-quality heat treatment equipment, faced the challenge of cost-effectively supporting its 2D design needs while transitioning from AutoCAD to SOLIDWORKS 3D design software to support company growth and customer demand for shorter lead times. They needed a 2D solution to handle simple layouts, access legacy AutoCAD data, and support departments outside of engineering.

The vendor DraftSight implemented its DraftSight Professional 2D design software. This solution provided full interoperability with SOLIDWORKS at a significantly lower cost than AutoCAD. The results for HeatTek included shortened product development cycles, compressed customer delivery lead times, a reduced cost for 2D design accessibility, and the ability to support a tripling of revenue.
