Austrian machine tool manufacturer repots that with its re cently installed PLM software, it has reduced lead-times - from order to delivery - from 12 months to eight months.
Modelling stamping/die casting halves development
By modelling tooling for stampig and diecasting, an electric motor component maker has cut its development time in half for tool design and parts production.
In 1954, the company began by developing the FD220, a machine that wraps bullion cubes.
Next, it added more equipment to meet the requirements of customers like Kraft, Unilever, Nestle and Star.
Since then, Corazza has installed more than 3000 machines in 75 countries for dosing and wrapping bullion cubes, processed cheese and butter portions.
"We have relied on CoCreate for over 10 years," says Luigi Bassi, IT Manager at Sympak Corazza Spa, Italy.
"We started with CoCreate's 2D software, CoCreate OneSpace Drafting, which many considered a must for mechanical engineering companies at that time".
The company has now selected CoCreate for its 3D solution for two reasons.
First, it couldn't risk losing its existing library of designs.
"Our rich heritage of drawings represents the actual history of Sympak Corazza Spa," says Bassi.
With OneSpace Modeling, the company ensured that its existing drawings remained compatible with future work.
Second, CoCreate's OneSpace Modeling offers history-free design.
"We manufacture machinery with several high-tech aggregates," says Bassi.
"CoCreate's Dynamic Modeling approach is ideal for exploiting and maximising our designers' creativity".
OneSpace Modeling is an essential part of CoCreate's lean product development philosophy.
Lean product development calls for technology that blends easily with existing production tools, but also brings significantly less complexity and more value to design processes.
As such, OneSpace Modeling supports features like rich master models, so designers can attach any information to models.
Then, anyone who uses the model later can be sure of the original designer's intent.
With the new licenses, Sympak Corazza now works with 17 OneSpace Drafting and 5 OneSpace Modeling seats.
They've also added Model Manager for OneSpace Modeling for data management and storage; plus they've powered up their OneSpace Modeling licenses to include Advanced Design modules.
