PROJECT DESCRIPTION

A pro­duct con­fi­gu­ra­tor is being deve­lo­ped as an add-in for the Solid­Works CAD soft­ware. The focus of the pro­ject is on eco­no­mi­c­al indi­vi­du­al pro­duc­tion with batch size 1 for the con­su­mer goods sec­tor. This pro­ject demons­tra­tes the pos­si­bi­li­ties and advan­ta­ges of an add-in. Only with the help of an add-in can the advan­ta­ges of an estab­lis­hed CAD sys­tem be ful­ly explo­i­ted, while at the same time saving the high cos­ts of stand-alo­ne soft­ware deve­lo­p­ment. You can find a detail­ed video about the add-in here or on our You­Tube chan­nel.
