Case Study: K-array Surl achieves 20% faster design cycles, 20% shorter time-to-market and 20% scrap reduction with SOLIDWORKS

Setting Tone for Live-Event Speaker Development with SOLIDWORKS Solutions

K-array Surl, an Italian manufacturer of slim array professional speakers, needed to accelerate design cycles, shorten time-to-market, and improve collaboration with sheet metal fabricators and other partners. To address these challenges the company standardized on SolidWorks solutions for 3D design, simulation, and technical communication.

SolidWorks implemented a suite of tools—SOLIDWORKS Standard 3D design, SOLIDWORKS Simulation Premium, and SOLIDWORKS Composer—enabling K-array Surl to run structural analyses, automate documentation, and streamline fabrication workflows. As a result, K-array Surl cut design cycles and time-to-market by 20%, increased design reuse by 30%, reduced scrap costs by 20%, and significantly shortened time for producing drawings and documentation.
