30-Second Summary Hidden Profit Drains Late-stage design changes quietly reduce profit through rework, delays, and mis-builds. Speed Through Parametrics SOLIDWORKS’ parametric design intent turns major revisions into quick, controlled updates – cutting weeks down to hours. PDM Workflow Control Formal SOLIDWORKS PDM workflows ensure only released data reaches the shop floor, minimising mis-build risk. Real-World … Read more

30-Second Summary Domino Costs Out-of-date files trigger scrap, delays and wasted design hours. Root Causes Decentralised storage, no audit trail, weak access control and poor backups. 5-Step Fix Central vault, smart revision workflows, role-based permissions, automated backups and real-time collaboration. Proven Wins One client cut duplicate files by 95 % and avoided R250 k scrap … Read more

30-Second Summary Hidden Costs Over-engineered designs quietly waste material, labour and schedule time. Designer-Level FEA CAD-native simulation automates expertise intensive tasks to make FEA more accessible. Analyse Early Quick linear-static studies during the design phase shortens the design cycle. Best Practices Simplify geometry, use accurate material data, verify mesh quality and document assumptions. Competitive Edge … Read more

30-Second Summary Miscommunication Bleeds Budgets Disconnected mechanical and electrical workflows cause costly rework, procurement errors, and late-stage design changes. Replace Outdated 2D Tools Traditional schematic tools can’t keep pace. Integrated 2D/3D design links electrical intent with physical constraints. Catch Errors Before Production SOLIDWORKS Electrical 3D enables spatial validation, wire routing, and bend radius checks before … Read more

30-Second Summary Knowledge Loss Bleeds Cash Uncaptured design rationale can lead to six-figure rework bills and delivery penalties when senior engineers depart. Make Knowledge Infrastructure SOLIDWORKS PDM stores not just files but revision intent, approvals, and linked emails in a searchable vault. Design Data Outlives Staff Parallel approvals and version control keep projects moving even … Read more
