Case Study: Amigo Mobility International, Inc. achieves 50–75% shorter design cycles and expands product line with SOLIDWORKS

Taking Mobility to New Places With Solidworks Solutions

Amigo Mobility International, Inc., a long-standing manufacturer of power-operated vehicles and mobility scooters, needed to shorten development times and improve manufacturability for complex injection-molded parts as competition increased. To move from legacy 2D tools to an integrated 3D design and analysis platform, Amigo standardized on SolidWorks, implementing SOLIDWORKS Standard, SOLIDWORKS Professional and SOLIDWORKS Simulation Professional to streamline visualization, design and simulation workflows.

Using SolidWorks design and simulation tools, Amigo reduced design cycles by 50–75%, eliminated routine physical part testing, and minimized prototyping requirements; SOLIDWORKS Simulation Professional paid for itself in the first week and helped avoid about $5,000 in prototyping costs by identifying a thicker‑walled tubing fix. Those productivity gains increased throughput and enabled Amigo to expand its product line into new markets, including a material-handling range with models up to 1,000 lb capacity.
