Case Study: Kirchhofer Design + Build achieves faster development and revenue growth with SolidWorks

Visualizing a new world in woodworking design with SolidWorks

Kirchhofer (Kirchhofer Design + Build), a high-end woodworking and carpentry studio in Kingston, WA, needed a more powerful 3D tool to push the boundaries of design, better visualize and evaluate complex concepts, and communicate ideas to clients. After trying other packages, the company adopted SolidWorks Professional to provide parametric 3D modeling, rendering, and manufacturing support to meet those challenges.

Using SolidWorks Professional, Kirchhofer streamlined development, reduced development time, and supported measurable revenue growth over five years while improving customer interactions through realistic 3D renderings. SolidWorks helped make sophisticated projects feasible—most notably a stacked, curvy kitchen island where the model guided construction techniques and hardware design—allowing Kirchhofer to efficiently turn ambitious customer ideas into built reality.
