Austrian Felder KG Selects Dassault 3DVIA Composer
 PARIS,
France, Jan 20, 2009 - Austrian Felder KG, a manufacturer of woodworking
machines and tools, has chosen 3DVIA Composer as its documentation solution,
Dassault Systems SolidWorks Corp. (DS SolidWorks) announced today. Felder,
which has used SolidWorks 3D CAD software for seven years, is now deploying
3DVIA Composer to create and edit assembly documentation, generate exploded
drawings of SolidWorks assemblies, and develop bills of material for
assembly purposes. Thanks to SolidWorks and 3DVIA Composer, Felder remains
competitive in a woodworking machine market facing intense price pressure.
Since Felder switched from 2D to 3D CAD software in 2001, it has shortened
design processes by up to 30 percent. In addition, SolidWorks and 3DVIA
Composer save the company material and components, delivering designs that
are optimized for assembly.Headquartered in Hall, Tyrol, the family-owned
business manufactures woodworking machines and tools for a wide range of
do-it-yourself enthusiasts, small woodworking companies, large carpentries,
and industrial enterprises. Its globally marketed brands include FELDER,
FORMAT-4, and HAMMER.
“Aesthetics, short design processes, and high-quality products are very
important to us,” said Engineer Robert Tratter, development manager at
Felder KG. “SolidWorks is a reliable partner in all these areas. When the
SolidWorks partner planetsoftware drew our attention to 3DVIA Composer, our
previously installed documentation solution didn’t have a chance, because it
was an isolated application. 3DVIA Composer allows us to create and edit
assembly documentation directly within SolidWorks. The tight compatibility
is a huge benefit that gives us both direct and precise data transfers and
accelerated design workflows.”
SolidWorks and 3DVIA Composer software have enabled Felder to establish a
seamless design process and create a wide range of valuable drawing/model
derivatives, including bills of material, spare parts lists, design review
documents, and the 3D data for CAM systems and 3D measuring machines. The
improved visualization and the option to create virtual prototypes has
considerably reduced the error rate in the design process, according to
Tratter. Another advantage is the design of configurations. “Each component
needs just one data file that can be used in many different assemblies,”
Tratter said. “This eases the modification and maintenance of the entire
range of products.”
Felder’s customers benefit from clearly and intuitively arranged repair
and service instructions as well as from photorealistic renderings and
animations that explain the use of machines and tools.
“Felder fully benefits from the interaction between SolidWorks and 3DVIA
Composer,” said Axel Spitzer, regional sales manager, central European
countries, at DS SolidWorks. “Its customers are looking for high-precision
machines and tools at competitive prices, which require design and
documentation tools that shorten design cycles and optimize manufacturing
processes. SolidWorks and 3DVIA Composer meet these requirements — today and
tomorrow.”
