Services

We help manufacturers of configurable products automate the engineering behind every order, from the first conversation about your rules to a configurator your team uses every day.

DriveWorks Pro configurators

We design and build DriveWorks projects that take a customer's requirements and generate everything engineering would normally produce by hand.

  • Specification forms your sales or engineering team can use, on the desktop or in a browser
  • Driven SOLIDWORKS parts, assemblies and drawings
  • Bills of materials, quotes and documents generated with each order
  • Parent and child projects for products built from reusable modules, such as doors and subpanels that feed a complete enclosure
  • Upgrades and clean-up of existing DriveWorks projects

SOLIDWORKS automation

Not every task needs a full configurator. We build focused tools that remove repetitive work inside SOLIDWORKS.

  • VBA macros and SOLIDWORKS API applications
  • Batch export: PDF, DXF, STEP and other formats your shop floor and suppliers need
  • Model and drawing clean-up, property and naming standards
  • Integration bridges between SOLIDWORKS, DriveWorks and your other systems, including ERP, MRP and PDM

Design rules capture

Automation is only as good as the rules behind it. We work with your engineers to write down how your product really behaves (dimensions, options, exceptions) and turn that knowledge into clear, maintainable logic. You keep the documented rules, whether we build the automation or not.

Support and continuous improvement

Products change. We keep your automation in step with them.

  • New options, variants and product lines added to existing configurators
  • Fixes and tuning when SOLIDWORKS or DriveWorks versions change
  • Training for your team so they can make everyday changes themselves
  • Flexible support, billed only for the time used and approved by you through our client portal
