Case Study: Aztech Engineering improves collaboration with automotive OEMs with Solid Edge

Aztech Engineering speeds CATIA file translation in 7 years with Solid Edge

Aztech Engineering, a UK-based manufacturer of high-precision tooling and machinery for the automotive sector, faced challenges utilizing complex CAD files received from automotive OEMs in various formats, particularly CATIA. This process was costly and time-consuming, hindering collaboration and their ability to meet tight industry deadlines. To address this, they turned to the CAD translation tools within Solid Edge software.

By implementing Solid Edge, specifically its dedicated CATIA V5 translator, Aztech was able to smoothly import and interrogate customer files without needing the source CAD system. This solution from Solid Edge enabled them to quickly construct tooling around imported models and improved design collaboration with their clients. The tools allowed for a quick ramp-up for new engineers and helped the company efficiently create photorealistic images for customer review prior to manufacture.
