Case Study: Landscape Forms achieves 30% faster design cycles and 350% product-line growth with SolidWorks

Creating modern, attractive outdoor landscapes with SolidWorks solutions

Landscape Forms, a designer and manufacturer of outdoor site furniture, needed to move beyond obsolete 2D tools to a modern 3D parametric platform to expand product collections and work more efficiently with industrial designers and architects. The company selected SolidWorks—initially deploying SolidWorks Professional and Premium and later adding SolidWorks Simulation, SolidWorks Flow Simulation, SolidWorks Enterprise PDM and PhotoView 360—to achieve its new product development goals.

By implementing SolidWorks solutions, Landscape Forms cut design cycles by 30%, shortened time-to-market by 15–20%, expanded its product line by 350%, and reduced file search time by 15–20%. SolidWorks Simulation and Flow Simulation improved quality and lowered prototyping costs, Enterprise PDM tightened revision control, and PhotoView 360’s photorealistic renderings accelerated design reviews and marketing, enabling the company to deliver more collections faster and with fewer errors.
