Case Study: Auto Parts Manufacturer achieves CAD process unification with Flatworld Solutions

Unification of CAD Processes into a Single System

Auto Parts Manufacturer, a premier US-based manufacturer of sheet metal components and automotive assembly parts, needed to unify its CAD processes into a single system. The goal was to streamline product development, make migration from three existing CAD systems easier, and create a more cost-effective, efficient workflow. Flatworld Solutions was chosen as the partner for the project, with Autodesk Inventor 2012 used as the core platform.

Flatworld Solutions formed a specialist team, analyzed the client’s requirements in detail, ran a trial to classify 2D and 3D drawings, and implemented the unified CAD solution. The result was a faster production cycle, better cross-team coordination, reusable CAD models, and shared best practices. Flatworld Solutions also helped the client reduce functional costs by 40% and complete the project in less than 35% of the initially estimated time.
