Case Study: Quality Tooling achieves 50% faster design and 90% fewer errors with SolidWorks

Improving mold, tool, and die design with SolidWorks software

Quality Tooling, a designer and builder of molds, tools, and dies, needed to increase throughput and eliminate costly design mistakes caused by non‑parametric CAD and poor multi‑format data handling. After evaluating options, the company chose SolidWorks software—plus the MoldWorks and SplitWorks add‑ons—to move to a parametric platform that better handles IGES, Parasolid and other CAD formats and reduces assembly change errors.

Using SolidWorks software with MoldWorks and SplitWorks, SolidWorks enabled parametric updates, automated mold development, interference detection, and easier CAD data import/export. The result: design cycles cut by 50%, more than 90% of design errors eliminated, faster production, and improved customer communication and mold development efficiency.
