Case Study: J.G. Weisser & Söhne achieves 15–20% faster concept development and shorter sales cycles with SOLIDWORKS Conceptual Designer

Accelerating Turning Machine Concept Design with SOLIDWORKS Conceptual Designer

J.G. Weisser & Soehne, a global manufacturer of precision turning machines based in St. Georgen, needed to accelerate early concept design to shorten sales cycles and improve customer communications—moving beyond pen-and-paper sketches and long approval times. To address this challenge the company adopted SolidWorks’ SOLIDWORKS Conceptual Designer to enable web-based concept sharing and more agile validation early in the sales process.

Using SolidWorks’ SOLIDWORKS Conceptual Designer (via the Lighthouse Program), J.G. Weisser & Soehne implemented online design communities and integrated simulation to validate natural frequencies and avoid vibration issues early. The result: a 15–20% reduction in machine development time, sales-approval cycles shortened from weeks to days, faster purchasing decisions, and improved global customer collaboration—helping the company bring innovations to market more quickly.
