Case Study: Verhofsté accelerates custom shelter design with TopSolid

Verhofsté, shelter design simplified with TopSolid

Verhofsté, a family business specializing in custom steel shelters and street furniture, faced a challenge with its time-consuming design process for made-to-measure products. Using AutoCAD, each new custom shelter required designers to start from scratch, taking several hours to complete a design. Seeking a more efficient solution, the company turned to the vendor TopSolid and its TopSolid design software to accelerate project proposals and technical drawings.

By implementing TopSolid’s parametric and associative design software, Verhofsté could quickly generate 3D models and technical drawings by simply entering customer-specific dimensions into a spreadsheet. This solution drastically reduced design time from hours to just a few minutes, allowing for rapid customer iterations and much more professional service. While specific financial metrics were not yet available after six months, Verhofsté management was convinced that the new efficiency provided by TopSolid would have a positive impact on future sales.
