Case Study: Burlington Technologies, Inc. achieves 50% faster design changes and eliminates costly errors with SolidWorks Enterprise PDM

Improving Automotive Die-cast Tooling Development With SolidWorks Enterprise Pdm

Burlington Technologies, Inc., a maker of high-pressure aluminum die-cast tooling for the automotive industry, faced file confusion, inconsistent naming, and costly design errors after transitioning from a 3D wireframe system to SolidWorks 3D CAD. To gain reliable revision control and automated workflow management, Burlington worked with reseller Javelin Technologies and chose SolidWorks Enterprise PDM as its PDM solution.

SolidWorks implemented Enterprise PDM integrated with SolidWorks 3D CAD to enforce revisions, track user interactions, and automate approval workflows. The result: Burlington eliminated revision disputes and misaligned-hole errors, resolved data-management issues, and shortened the time to make design changes (about a 50% reduction reported), with individual tests showing PDM users completing changes far faster than with the legacy tool.
