Devialet has been using SOLIDWORKS for years. They had a PDM in use and a manual process to build a bill of materials (BOM) with different combinations of parts. However, making and updating a customized, colored BOM took time and was tedious for the designers.
Devialet wanted to automate the process, but the PDM had its limitations, and Devialet did not want to make a compromise on the quality.
With the help of CUSTOMTOOLS product and development work, Devialet got a fully automated process to export 3D models and all the information to Excel.
