Case Study: T3 Energy Services achieves 35% shorter design cycles and 30% reduced development costs with SolidWorks

Shortening design cycles and reducing costs with SolidWorks solutions

T3 Energy Services, a unit of Robbins & Myers Inc., designs, manufactures, repairs, and services wellhead products and blowout preventers for onshore and offshore oil and gas applications. Facing the challenge of guaranteeing high structural integrity for every part and assembly while avoiding outsourcing and tightly integrating CAD data with ENOVIA PDM, T3 Energy Services adopted SolidWorks, including SolidWorks Office Premium and SolidWorks Simulation, to streamline its engineering process.

Using SolidWorks’ integrated CAD, FEA, and flow simulation tools, T3 Energy Services eliminated redundant models, accelerated collaboration, and kept all engineering and manufacturing in‑house. SolidWorks helped shorten design cycles by 35%, cut time‑to‑market by 20%, reduce development costs by 30%, and increase design reuse by 45%, while improving FEA reporting and reducing overall rework time.
