B&P Littleford LLC <\/a>designs and custom builds a wide spectrum of mixing, drying, extruding, compounding, reacting and centrifugal separation equipment for large- and small-scale manufacturing applications and associated process solutions for chemical markets. They needed to deliver designs on time while avoiding costly, timely and excessive change orders and maintaining innovation efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Engineers realized it was time to reevaluate their current software solution, SOLIDWORKS\u00ae and consider other options. They called on Siemens Smart Expert Partner CAM Logic, Inc<\/a>. who specializes in Siemens Digital Industries Software Solid Edge\u00ae software<\/a> and suggested that they evaluate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Migrating from SOLIDWORKS to Solid Edge<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe recognized their need to move more quickly through their design process. It was clear that synchronous technology was the answer to their problem. We used their existing design files to demonstrate how utilizing Solid Edge could expedite their design process.\u201d Yvonne Wiedemann, President of CAM Logic, Inc., said of the migration to the new software.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI would say that when you\u2019ve been dealing with a particular software for years and years \u2013 in my case, SOLIDWORKS \u2013 you can develop an almost religious devotion to it, but if you really say to yourself, \u2018be truthful, be objective,\u2019 maybe you\u2019ll be surprised with Solid Edge,\u201d said Scott Samborn, senior mechanical design engineer at B&P Littleford. \u201cSolid Edge with synchronous technology turned out to be wonderful. It caused a complete shift in my way of thinking.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Synchronous technology delivers cutting-edge functionality<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With Solid Edge, B&P Littleford found components that normally would take a couple of hours to remodel from scratch can now be done in five, 10, or 15 minutes.<\/a> At first, the engineers weren\u2019t sure how synchronous could help them with their complicated geometry. However, they soon realized that for 80 percent of the components, synchronous can cut the development time in half or more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSynchronous technology is crucial to the industries CAM Logic, Inc. supports. Siemens Digital Industries created synchronous technology. While other software companies are just beginning to understand it, Siemens is perfecting it. Our customers need this functionality now, they don\u2019t have time to wait for other software providers to catch up, and we are happy to be able to provide them with this cutting-edge functionality that it is within Solid Edge.\u201d<\/p>Yvonne Wiedemann, President of CAM Logic Inc<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
