Case Study: Howe & Howe Technologies Inc. achieves 1000% faster fabrication and 850% reduction in scrap costs with SolidWorks

Pushing the limits of extreme vehicle design with SolidWorks

Howe & Howe Technologies Inc., the twin‑founded firm known for extreme vehicle fabrication and robotics, needed to accelerate design, fabrication, and assembly of military‑spec and experimental vehicles while continually pushing the limits of innovation. To meet this challenge the company adopted SolidWorks Premium 3D design software to move beyond 2D tools and support complex, production‑ready designs.

Using SolidWorks, Howe & Howe implemented 3D modeling, weldments and CAD outputs to drive plasma torches and tubular CNC cutters, automating fabrication and improving visualization. SolidWorks helped shorten fabrication time by 1000% (tenfold for roll‑cage chassis), reduce scrap costs by 850%, scale the business from a hobby into a multimillion‑dollar R&D company, and boost innovation and competitiveness in defense and film projects.
