Case Study: Končar‑MES Inc. achieves 30–40% faster development and 10–20% lighter electric motors with SOLIDWORKS

Expanding electric motor development with solidworks solutions

Končar‑MES Inc., a Croatian designer and manufacturer of electric motors, needed to accelerate product development to boost throughput, support growth, and expand into new markets. To meet this challenge it standardized on SolidWorks, deploying SOLIDWORKS Professional for 3D design and SOLIDWORKS Simulation for analysis to move from 2D to parametric, configurable 3D development.

Using SolidWorks’ configuration tools and integrated simulation, Končar‑MES cut development time by 30–40%, reduced motor weight by 10–20% while maintaining strength, and supported annual business growth of 5–15%. The SolidWorks solutions also enabled greater design reuse and faster changes, helping Končar‑MES expand into the HVAC market and increase production throughput.
