What may have started off as a small family venture is turning into something quite phenomenal, Elite Balustrade Systems, a balcony and balustrade sales and fabrication company (and Solid Solutions customer), have grown from a local business in the small town of Clitheroe into a now internationally operating firm, thanks to SolidWorks.
Featured recently in Develop3D, Managing Director, David Martin, discusses the extent to which SolidWorks has allowed the company to develop thanks to the increased accuracy and efficiency offered by the software. He also heavily praises DriveWorks, the SolidWorks specific design automation & sales configurator software for allowing them to meet a huge range of personalised requests.
“We’re coming up with new ideas for it all the time. There’s so many different things we can do with it —it’s mindboggling”
These however are not the only elements of the SolidWorks which have provided essential. eDrawings has also been key in Elite Balustrade Systems' success, allowing them to send out visualisations of their assembled product to customers who may not themselves have the SolidWorks software. Furthermore the system creates ten documents, including assembly instructions and the Bill of Materials (BOM) all of which can be sent to customers following just a few clicks on their website, ensuring they receive their perfect product regardless of where they are in the world.
