Case Study: Maschinenfabrik FRÖMAG achieves faster, more flexible design of complex keyseating, slotting and broaching machines with Solid Edge

Gain new freedom for better design of complex products

Maschinenfabrik FRÖMAG, a mid-sized German maker of keyseating, slotting, profiling and broaching machines, faced a critical CAD challenge when its incumbent software vendor signaled uncertain long‑term support. FRÖMAG needed a 3D solution that preserved a mid‑sized engineering focus, handled decades‑old legacy data, and supported long product lifecycles — and chose Solid Edge (from Siemens Digital Industries Software) with synchronous technology to meet those needs.

Solid Edge, together with partner WorksLine GmbH, converted and fully integrated FRÖMAG’s legacy PDM so all 75,000 design records are now accessible inside the new system. The synchronous technology and data migration gave FRÖMAG faster, more flexible design of complex machines, secured long‑term software support and maintainability for multi‑decade product lifecycles, and preserved the company’s ability to deliver precise spare parts and custom solutions.
