Wrayram Engineers Selects Inventor 2008
FARNBOROUGH, UK, Sep 20, 2007 - In order to meet the demands of its rapidly
increasing 3D customer base, Wrayram Engineers is making the move from 2D to 3D
design with Autodesk Inventor 2008. The manufacturer of hydraulic cylinders will
implement the software for all new jobs – and, because Inventor enables both 2D
and 3D design, it will also be able to migrate all legacy drawings to the new
solution.
Wrayram plans to use Inventor to create cylinder design templates from
which it will develop customized variations without having to start from
scratch each time. Inventor’s ‘intelligent’ parametric modeling capabilities
automatically update corresponding parts when one element is changed and
this will save further time and help Wrayram’s technical staff to trial
prototypes virtually.
The ability to create digital prototypes will give the company’s
machinists on the shop-floor better perspective and foresight of the job.
Wrayram is also keen to use Inventor’s animation capabilities to present
plans to prospective customers.
“Many of our key customers already use Inventor and so this is a natural
step for us,” says Phil Watkins of Wrayram Engineers. “Previously when we
submitted 2D designs to our customers, they would have to be remodeled in
3D. Now our 3D designs can be directly integrated into their existing
designs, saving time and helping us to improve our services to customers.”
“We are certain that Wrayram Engineers will benefit significantly from
this move. Research has shown that companies that can create digital
prototypes and, therefore, fewer physical prototypes, can get their products
to market far faster,” says Lynn Smith of Cadspec.
