Case Study: Edbro achieves faster time-to-market and lower costs with SOLIDWORKS

How 3D CAD is transforming the commercial automotive industry

Edbro, a leading manufacturer of hydraulic tipping hoists, needed to keep innovating while cutting costs and speeding new product development to stay competitive in global, low‑cost markets. To meet those challenges Edbro adopted SolidWorks tools, using 3D modelling and FEA plus SOLIDWORKS PDM Workgroup for data management to support design, simulation and collaboration.

Using SolidWorks, Edbro simulated complex designs and fixed manufacturing issues before prototyping, while PDM Workgroup gave stakeholders fingertip access to the latest CAD data. The result: reduced overheads, faster time to market, repeatable robust products at scale and the ability to roll out new product ranges much more quickly—letting Edbro compete internationally without sacrificing quality.
