Case Study: Whale (innovative pump manufacturer) optimizes design and cuts development time with Solid Edge

Whales uses Solid Edge to optimize design and cut development time

Whale, a Northern Ireland–based specialist pump manufacturer serving leisure, domestic and industrial markets, faced the ongoing challenge of optimizing product designs and shortening development cycles for a wide range of freshwater, bilge and waste pumps and heating systems. To support rapid innovation and prototyping, Whale uses Solid Edge from Siemens Digital Industries Software as its core design tool.

Using Solid Edge, Whale implemented 3D design, early analysis and rapid prototyping workflows that make it quick and easy to create and test prototypes, improve communication with customers, and speed development. Solid Edge has helped Whale optimize designs and cut development time, supporting the company’s sustained innovation—evidenced by roughly five worldwide design patents a year—and faster time to market.
