Case Study: Meltech reduces design time by 40% and eliminates prototypes with SolidWorks

How SOLIDWORKS Brought the Heat to Meltech

Meltech, an English manufacturer of induction‑melting furnaces, needed extreme precision and fast turnaround to design high‑voltage, electrically complex equipment while cutting prototyping costs and better managing growing design data. To meet these challenges the company adopted SolidWorks 3D CAD and related tools.

Using SolidWorks 3D CAD, SolidWorks Electrical, Product Data Management and SolidWorks Visualize, Meltech moved to virtual builds that eliminated costly physical prototypes, slashed electrical design time by 40%, and halved potential design cycle times through centralized data reuse—while photorealistic renders sped sales and bespoke feedback—helping drive major productivity gains as the business doubled in size.
