Case Study: Leutenegger + Frei AG achieves tenfold faster design turnaround with Solid Edge

Two highly successful fields of endeavor – one PLM environment

Leutenegger + Frei AG, a Swiss maker of bakery equipment and industrial surface‑engineering systems, needed to replace an aging 2D CAD process with a 3D solution that remained fully 2D‑compatible and could handle imported data and very large assemblies. The company selected Solid Edge software with synchronous technology to address slow design turnarounds and improve flexibility across diverse engineering projects.

Solid Edge was deployed across more than 20 workstations with clear process guidelines and additional licenses, enabling designers to make modifications far faster and easier than before. The synchronous technology and rollout delivered a measurable tenfold improvement in design time turnaround, drove strong user acceptance and significantly increased overall engineering productivity.
