Case Study: Akribis Systems achieves faster, lower‑cost product development and global growth with SOLIDWORKS

Growing a precision motion-control technology company with SOLIDWORKS®

Akribis Systems is a Singapore‑based maker of direct‑drive precision positioning systems for electronics manufacturing and other high‑precision industries. To launch and scale globally while meeting demanding performance and delivery expectations, the company needed a 3D development platform that was easy to learn, affordable, and capable of integrated design and analysis — so Akribis standardized on SolidWorks, implementing SolidWorks Standard design and SolidWorks Simulation tools (plus eDrawings for customer reviews).

Using SolidWorks, Akribis validated designs with FEA instead of costly prototypes and accelerated collaboration with customers, cutting design cycles by 30–50%, reducing development costs by 15–20%, and shortening time‑to‑market by 15–20%. SolidWorks also supported rapid business growth — Akribis expanded from 10 to about 250 employees and from one office to six countries while maintaining higher quality and faster delivery.
