CADD Edge, Inc. is one of the world’s leading providers of SolidWorks™ software and engineering business solutions. CADD Edge, in an effort to bring productivity of engineers to the next level, developed the Mechanical Engineering Productivity Machine™. CADD Edge Solution
Customized for industry-specific needs, the CADD Edge solution consists of the SolidWorks™ design environment integrated with best-in-class analysis and data management tools and the Mechanical Engineering Productivity Machine. The CADD Edge Productivity Machine is comprised of four components: - Auditing -CADD Edge analyzes the client's mechanical design automation operations and compares against best practice metrics. The company then recommends a tailored implementation plan.
- Implementation - CADD Edge installs proposed software components for each implementation phase of the proposed plan with onsite-support backed by online and telephone support from CADD Edge experts. Throughout the implementation, CADD Edge closely monitors progress and anticipates potential needs and recommends appropriate actions.
- Multi-level Training - CADD Edge educates and trains clients at every level: from user to management, from novice to expert, from generic needs to application-specific.
- Software Utilities - CADD Edge customizes software interfaces for the smooth flow of data between applications as well as departments. CADD Edge also configures SolidWorks and the best-in-class software command sets to match user-specific applications.
Business Summary
CADD Edge is the developer of the Mechanical Engineering Productivity Machine™. The CADD Edge Productivity Machine enables engineers to design imaginative products exceptionally fast with superior quality. Customized for industry-specific SolidWorks environments, this performance-driven machine is fueled by four components - auditing, implementation, multi-level training, and software utilities - all working together to help companies be first to deliver winning designs from concept to customer. Market Opportunity
For the past several years, the migration from 2D to 3D-based mechanical engineering design environments has accelerated due to a new wave of software companies that make Windows-based solid modeling tools as affordable and easy-to-use as they are powerful. Supporting this trend is the increased integration of these solid modeling environments with a broad range of analysis and data management tools. However, despite the potential benefits such environments offer, only a handful of companies have truly realized the full potential that solid modeling provides.
The reason for this is simple: First, companies must adapt these environments to their industry and product-specific needs so that engineers can focus on their core competencies. Second, other departments must be able to use the design engineering information, rather than be forced to recreate it. Finally, companies need expert advice on which tools to deploy and when. CADD Edge Approach
To help companies be first in bringing winning designs from concept to customer, CADD Edge combines the price-performance leadership of SolidWorks with the power of its Mechanical Engineering Productivity Machine. The CADD Edge Productivity Machine consists of four components - a thorough audit to determine company-specific needs, a detailed implementation with hands-on support at every stage, a multi-level training program that spans departments and different proficiency levels, and a set of software utilities that simplify a multitude of routine tasks.
Driving the productivity machine are CADD Edge associates who have an unmatched depth and breadth of expertise in SolidWorks environments and mechanical engineering automation. Best-in-Class Partner Products
