Company: Van Keulen

Industry: Interior Design

Location: Netherlands

The Challenge:
Find a CAD system that would allow Van Keulen to develop better products that are more competitive in the industry. The CAD system must be easy to use with a low training curve.

IronCAD the Productivity Solution:
IronCAD's Freedom Architecture allows Van Keulen to see a 20% productivity gain over their previous system. After and extensive 1 year investigation of the technology available in the market Van Keulen decided that IronCAD offered the highest productivity gains allowing designers to actually design in 3D instead of having to limit their designs to what the 3D software allowed. The built in visualization capabilities of IronCAD allow better collaboration among the many design groups at Van Keulen. Also IronCAD's fast training and continuous praise by the existing IronCAD designers made the choice obvious.

Summary

• 20% more productivity when compared to prior systems of PointlineCAD.
• Designers get to finally be designers!
• Fast training and higher productivity ensure that Van Keulen will continue to be an industry leader long into the future.

"We have 4 years of experience with IronCAD by both our daughter company SBM Systems and our design (R&D) department, here at Nijverdal. Until now the departments metal works and shop - interior building were working with 2D-3D PointLine. After a concentrated investigation we have made the decision to use IronCAD in all departments. IronCAD allows us to quickly visualize our ideas and will produce designs much faster. Also the data in the 3D IronCAD model allows us to make direct connections with our existing CAD-CAM production software. The very fast learning curve and the always present enthusiasm of the IronCAD users at the Van Keulen company were also an important reason for our choice of IronCAD." - Rene Hollegien, Van Keulen Interieurbouw IT supervisor
