Hdi Ltd design and supply modern, sophisticated, retail display stands for products, ranging from power tools to pet foods.
Stephen Andrews, Design Manager, says “Even though I had used Inventor with my previous employer, when I had the choice I purchased SolidWorks Professional, with its superior PhotoWorks rendering software and ease of use.”
Stephen also prepares SolidWorks presentations for the sales team on a weekly basis and Hdi Ltd believe that the quality of the visual 3D images is contributing significantly to their sales success.
Communication with manufacturing suppliers is also greatly improved: commonly, steel fabricators use SolidWorks and prefer to work direct from 3D models, so the need to produce detailed drawings and to convert file formats has been eliminated.
Stephen says, “Initially, I viewed SolidWorks at Huddersfield University and even though this was about seven years ago I was able to use some of the most advanced features SolidWorks has to offer relatively easily- and when help was needed the NT CADCAM Ltd hot line provided the answers accurately and quickly.”
