Case Study: B&P Littleford LLC achieves 50% faster design time and standardizes on one design and simulation tool with Solid Edge

B&P Littleford LLC standardizes on one design and simulation tool

B&P Littleford LLC, a U.S. maker of industrial mixing, drying, extruding and separation equipment, needed to deliver complex design drawings on time and minimize costly engineering change orders across very large, varied components. After years using SOLIDWORKS, the company evaluated and adopted Solid Edge—particularly its synchronous technology—to gain greater flexibility and speed without sacrificing innovation.

By standardizing on Solid Edge and using a mix of synchronous and ordered workflows plus batch migration tools to reuse SOLIDWORKS legacy data, B&P Littleford cut design time by about 50%. Many components that once took hours to remodel now take 5–15 minutes, synchronous methods halve development time for roughly 80% of parts, and the company has reduced rework while speeding proposal and design cycles.
