A SolidWorks Case Study
Matti Technology AG, a Swiss developer of turnkey high-speed digital printing systems, needed to accelerate design of very large assemblies (2,000–5,000 parts) and reduce errors from multiple engineers working concurrently. After using SolidWorks 3D and SolidWorks Premium for design and simulation, the company evaluated PDM solutions and selected SolidWorks Enterprise PDM to better control revisions, workflows, and collaborative design processes.
Matti implemented SolidWorks Enterprise PDM (integrated with SolidWorks Simulation) to automate workflows, manage data and BOMs, and streamline supplier communications and purchasing. Using SolidWorks, the company shortened design cycles by 10–20% through design reuse, cut development costs by 10–20%, decreased prototyping needs, and improved coordination with suppliers—while the PDM system requires only about one hour per week to administer.
