A SolidWorks Case Study
SRS Diecasting Pvt. Ltd., a contract manufacturer of pressure die-cast components for automotive and appliance OEMs, faced rising demand and the need to build internal design capabilities to shorten tooling development cycles and increase throughput. To meet this challenge they turned to SolidWorks, adopting SOLIDWORKS Standard and Professional design software along with SOLIDWORKS Enterprise PDM and Design for Manufacturability (DFM) tools.
SolidWorks enabled SRS to automate workflows, optimize parts for manufacturability, and resolve issues before tooling, cutting development cycles in half (from more than 16 weeks to consistently 6–8 weeks), boosting tooling/production throughput by about 60 percent, and eliminating scrap and rework—while also improving customer communications through advanced 3D visualization. SolidWorks’ combined design and PDM solution delivered these measurable efficiency and quality gains.
