How Design Automation in SolidWorks Accelerates Custom Furniture Orders

Custom furniture manufacturers are facing rising design complexity, shorter timelines, and increased order volumes. As a result, 42% of manufacturing labor is spent on tasks that could be automated, even as consumer demand grows by 11% annually. This is driving a strong need to adopt SolidWorks design automation across workshops.

Understand the benefits of design automation using SolidWorks:

• Design engineering time reduction of up to 75% through the use of rule-based parametric modeling and DriveWorks configurators to remove redundancy in design
• Automate the entire process from design to production, including shop drawings, BOMS, and CNC ready files generated from simple customer input forms, reducing handoffs between sales and engineering.
• To implement design automation throughout your organization, you need scalable, error-free design systems. Techniques to achieve this include developing robust parametric components and manufacturing rules to reduce re-design and scrap rates by as much as 55%.
