Inventor plays a key role in helping Famed Zywiec design and manufacture products with a minimum of waste by providing 3D tools that allow it to visualise the impact of the ideas early in the design process, before anything is actually built.
Working with local Autodesk reseller and training provider Evatronix allowed Famed Zywiec to immediately start benefiting from Inventor digital prototyping capabilities.
"Modeling a product in Inventor translates to incredible savings, especially at the prototyping and manufacturing stages", said Piotr Kozbial, RandD Director at Famed Zywiec.
"Before Inventor, we used to produce four or five physical prototypes".
"With Inventor, the design that we create is the prototype, and we can easily incorporate feedback and optimise the design before we manufacture anything".
"That translates into less waste, for us, and for the environment".
"Manufacturing companies across the globe are realising that what's good for the environment can be good for business as well", said Robert "Buzz" Kross, Vice President of Autodesk Manufacturing Solutions.
"Famed Zywiec is taking a leadership role in the European community with its environmentally friendly manufacturing operations, and we are pleased to name them as our Inventor of the Month for April".
Each month, Autodesk selects an Inventor of the Month from the more than 600,000 users of Autodesk Inventor software, its best-selling 3D mechanical design software.
