ATB Morley technical manager, Pete Ramsden explains that the Autodesk solution was selected because of its parametric technology, its weld module and also because it is seen as an industry standard.
This was despite the fact that its Austrian-based parent company has standardised on UGS solutions.
"We wanted to move to 3D design and recognised that it would be opportune to implement data management at the same time, extending the benefits further.
Our main aim is to increase design throughput, meeting the need to continually develop new products," he says.
"All our products are bespoke but we want to be able to re-use as much data as possible to create templates, helping get these products to market faster.
"Autodesk's strong market hold, combined with the fact that all our main customers are users, made it the most obvious choice".
