Case Study: Eurocrane Co., Ltd achieves faster design cycles and streamlined 3D design management with Solid Edge

Integrated 3D CAD and design management help Eurocrane design better

Eurocrane Co., Ltd, a leading Chinese manufacturer of overhead and gantry cranes, faced limitations from a traditional top-down 2D CAD workflow that caused poor collaboration, version-control issues, manual BOM rework and long design cycles—constraints that hindered its push toward modular, lightweight Euro-style cranes. To modernize its design process, Eurocrane selected Solid Edge 3D CAD (with PDM) from Siemens Digital Industries Software.

By implementing Solid Edge, Eurocrane moved to associative 3D models, interference checking and PDM-managed data, which automated BOM updates and simplified variant creation and review. The impact was measurable: a gearbox variant change that once required at least one week of R&D now takes less than three days, significantly shortening design cycles, reducing checking workload and improving collaboration.
