Italy's Savio Macchine Tessili Adopts ThinkDesign
 MILAN,
Italy, Nov 20, 2008 - Savio Macchine Tessili, a leader in the yarn
finishing machine sector ranging from wool, cotton, linen and silk to
synthetic fibres – adopted think3’s ThinkDesign to design its “Cosmos”
two-for-one-twisting machine, specifically developed for the Chinese and
Indian markets and other emerging countries.
Savio’s twisting machines are known for their strength and
reliability but meet with difficulties in Eastern markets and, in
general, wherever the amortization of the machine heavily affects
transformation expenses. The competition in these markets offer
price-competitive alternatives, although the quality of their end
product is lower. With the “Cosmos” project, Savio decided to address
the challenge of producing cheaper machines with superior technical
features compared to competitors, to maintain its usual quality
standards. The full line was designed in only 12 months and, for each
machine, Chinese suppliers built prototypes with different variants.
ThinkDesign, think3’ design solution, enabled Savio to meet this
deadline because it provided the ability to create a full 3D project
both in-house and in external offices taking part in the activity.
Starting from the beginning of the activities, it took 18 months to
produce the new, high-quality twisting machine.
ThinkDesign is a design tool which is flexible, productive, easy to
use, easy to learn and tailored to the needs of manufacturing
industries. ThinkDesign is the designer's ideal partner for defining
mechanical assemblies, breaking assemblies down into component lists,
assessing the overall dimensions of components and assemblies, checking
the feasibility of a shape sketched and drawn by the designer or drafted
using a special function. The continuous communications between the
styling, engineering and tooling departments ensure that project
deadlines are met.
“A good share of this achievement is due to ThinkDesign”, said
Roberto Badiali, Technical Director, Savio Macchine Tessili. The company
relied on think3’s flexible solution to uniform the standard of the
various company sites. “think3 is the right partner to support us in our
internationalization process” said Antonio Bortolussi, Head of IT
Systems. “As far as the COSMOS project is concerned, ThinkDesign was a
critical tool because it enabled us to meet the planned deadline,
ensuring top flexibility and real time project sharing” concluded Ing.
Badiali.
At the moment, Savio leverages 50 ThinkDesign and thinkPLM licenses.
In addition, the company partnered with think3, Inc. to define
technology development guidelines.
