Case Study: Sumitomo (SHI) Cryogenics of America, Inc. achieves shorter design cycles and improved accuracy with SOLIDWORKS

Improving cryogenic systems development with SOLIDWORKS

Sumitomo (SHI) Cryogenics of America, Inc., a leading provider of cryogenic and vacuum solutions, faced mounting pressure to streamline design cycles, accelerate time-to-market, and improve design performance while better collaborating with customers and contractors who predominantly use SolidWorks. The company moved away from a legacy 3D CAD platform to reduce manual, repetitive design tasks and attract experienced talent.

Sumitomo (SHI) Cryogenics of America, Inc. implemented SolidWorks Professional, SolidWorks Premium (including FEA simulation) and SolidWorks PDM Professional to standardize design, analysis, and data management. Using SolidWorks, the company shortened development cycles, reduced design-checking time by 30–50%, improved design accuracy and sheet‑metal fit, optimized performance through simulation, and accelerated innovation and time-to-market.
