Europlacer Industries

Designs and manufacturers machines that place surface-mounted devices

Autodesk Inventor 

Unix-based 2D CAD 

Wanted to increase its competitive advantage and manage costs by adopting a 3D solutions 

• Reduced time to market by 30%
• Cut the number of prototypes from 4 to 2

Hawkes Ocean Technologies

Develops deep flight aviation submersibles

Autodesk Inventor

Autodesk Mechanical Desktop

Wanted to more easily and cost-effectively design manned, sub-sea vehicles to reach deeper ocean depths and accelerate the pace of ocean exploration

• Decreased costs & design time by eliminating physical prototypes & reusing design elements
• Eliminated many calculations & reduced errors by automating error-prone tasks

James Fisher Rumic

Designs and engineers solutions for oil and gas, nuclear, and marine industries

Autodesk Inventor

AutoCAD

Needed to minimise errors in design of remote handling equipment for the decommissioning of nuclear reactors

• Switched from building expensive prototypes to producing models
• Reassured potential customer of safety process using 3D models

Phoenix Silicon International Corporation

Designs and assembles semiconductor machinery

Autodesk Inventor, Autodesk Inventor Professional 

Autodesk Mechanical Desktop 

Wanted to speed time to market and minimise labour force costs by using 3D in the design and assembly of semiconductor equipment 

• Reduced development time from 1 year to 4 months
• Saved at least 75% of R&D teams working time 

Telescope Technologies Limited

Manufactures robotic telescopes 

Autodesk Inventor 

Needed a solution that would reduce errors and other problems in the design of an astronomical telescope assembly with over 10,000 parts 

• It was impossible to model with such a large assembly & check interferences before
• Reduced costs by conducting extensive simulation prior to manufacture
