SolidWorks comprehensive solution to help Gaoming Iron achieve efficient design

This paper introduces the case of Gaoming Iron Enterprise Co., Ltd. using SolidWorks comprehensive solutions to achieve efficient design.

Company Profile

Headquartered in Changhua, Taiwan, the company is founded in 1995. It was marketed worldwide under the GMT brand in 2006 and is a manufacturer of linear drive components and electric precision slides. Its products cover electric sliding table, XXY alignment platform, MINI-STAGE, XY-TABLE, precision linear motion slide and slide table, coupling, screw support and other related linear transmission products, which can meet automation equipment and precision. Measure the needs of the relevant industry in design, system and manufacturing. The company focuses on key technology development and manufacturing, and combines the two to provide the output and maximum benefit of the customer's highest value-added products. It also establishes distribution and service bases everywhere to establish close-range comprehensive and systematic. Professional website, with a high level of integrated services to meet customers around the world.

challenge

In order to cater to the rapid changes in market trends, GMT must continuously improve the speed of product development. When 2D CAD software could not meet this requirement and responded to the various demands arising from customer communication in real time, Gaoming Iron decided to turn to 3D CAD software to find a solution. Director Chen Rongsong of GMT Research and Development Department mentioned: “The requirements that the customer gave us before were the correctness of the product. Now, plus the speed! Before the introduction of the first set of SolidWorks, the company actually evaluated quite a lot of 3D software. However, after investigating the company's customers, suppliers and school units, SolidWorks 3D CAD software has been found to have a high market share. It is relatively easy to find talents in the future, and its excellent handling performance and customer feedback are the functions. The many characteristics of the continuous improvement of the pointer are the key factors in our final selection in 2006."

solution

SolidWorks' powerful and easy-to-use features help GMT effectively shorten the product design cycle, and use its "configuration" feature to create a variety of specifications in a short period of time, successfully improving the product design accuracy rate to more than 90%, product design The development time was reduced by about 30%, which really improved the competitiveness of GMT and reduced the design and development costs. In combination with SolidWorks partners in product design, it can help to build a total of 8 types of common pulley sets, gear sets, worm gears, etc., as long as the relevant values ​​are input to produce a complete entity, simplifying the complicated design. Calculation and drawing process.

Freed from the traditional 2D drawing, GMT further 3D the process of making technical communication files, using 3DVIA Composer to help simplify the workflow of creating 2D and 3D images and animations, and fully apply them in assembly instructions, product descriptions and marketing videos. on. Before the software is imported, if the product data changes, it is necessary to check the file for very time-consuming manual modification. With 3DVIAComposer, file processing automation and post-design integration can be realized across the company, effectively reducing costs. It maintains high quality and consistency across all documents created at each stage of its lifecycle.

“The SolidWorks all-round solution is easy to use and complete with training courses, so that our new engineers can go online immediately without special training, which greatly reduces the training time and cost.” Director Chen Rongsong said, more Emphasize: "Real-time technical maintenance support services have always been an excellent conduit for designers within the company to solve software problems. Whenever they encounter software problems, they will get a quick response, which accelerates the speed of product development. The most important It is the service and high-efficiency technical support provided by the Shiwei International professional team to meet the needs of users, and assist GMT to improve operational efficiency, enhance product development capability and maintain market leading position in the market competition."
