Night Vision Technology Systems Integrator
Cuts Design-to-Manufacture Time in Half with Alibre Design Software
Manufacturer Awards Company High Marks for Impressive Customer Focus
RICHARDSON, Texas, April 26, 2005 - With ten seats of Alibre Design 3D solid modeling software, Keystone Applied Technologies (www.omnitechpartners.com), a Pennsylvania designer and manufacturer of night vision products, slashes typical 1-year design-to-manufacture cycle to 3 - 6 months.
A systems integrator, Keystone takes the latest in cutting-edge night-vision technology and puts together specialized solutions for police forces and the military's Special Forces. Working with these complex designs in 3D allows Keystone to perform finite element analysis and other key engineering simulations.
"We are very pleased with the impact Alibre Design has had in our company," says Harry Beck, director of engineering at Keystone. "Our initial investment has been returned many times over in our ability to design and manufacture our products more efficiently."
Even so, Beck considers the key value of Alibre Design to be the top-notch technical support. Two years ago, when Keystone first started working with Alibre Design it ran into a few problems because of lack of experience with 3D and the complexity of its designs. Alibre investigated the design problems unique to this cutting-edge technology and provided specialized support including software changes.
"They used our input to take the Alibre Design software to the next level," he says. "They get my highest marks for their willingness to do that and for the enthusiasm and effectiveness with which they carried it off."
