Case Study: Ace Manufacturing Systems Limited halves machine development time and eliminates design errors with SOLIDWORKS

Advancing Cnc Machine Design With Solidworks Solutions

Ace Manufacturing Systems Limited, a leading Indian CNC machine tool manufacturer, needed to move from 2D drafting to a 3D development platform to shorten design cycles, reduce errors, and improve customer interactions. After evaluating options, AMS standardized on SolidWorks, deploying 32 SolidWorks Professional licenses and one SolidWorks Premium design-and-analysis license to gain 3D visualization, dynamic motion tools, and integrated FEA.

Using SolidWorks Professional and Premium, AMS introduced motion simulation, interference checking, and integrated FEA to eliminate design errors, reduce rework, and optimize weight, strength, and material use. The company cut machine development time from about six months to four months, doubled design throughput (now producing 800–1,000 machines per year versus only a few in early years), and improved customer sign-off processes with SolidWorks eDrawings.
