Case Study
Saving Customers Time and Money
Misumi's capability to offer custom, configurable products, plus the ability to
download 3D SolidWorks models, has allowed many customers to save time and money,
thereby contributing to the customer's growth. Misumi sells custom components for
about the same price as standardized ones. These products can be configured on the
SolidWorks 3D PartStream.NET platform.
Matthew McIver, a value engineering specialist with Automated Tooling Systems(ATS),
the global leader in automated manufacturing systems, says downloading configurable
SolidWorks models from MISUMI USA's Website supports ATS's goal to create lean processes.
"My role is to investigate and analyze components and vendors," McIver notes. "MISUMI
USA can provide CAD data that our engineers can drag and drop into a design, allowing
us to streamline the process. Our engineers focus more on the intricate aspects
of our designs, rather than on modeling components. It's an excellent service."
The SolidWorks 3D CAD data is accessible from the Misumi websites in various languages
worldwide, including English, Japanese and Korean.
Automated Tooling Systems (ATS), the global leader in automated manufacturing systems,
has streamlined its design process by downloading Misumi components and dropping
them directly into assembly designs.
