Modelling software for faster furniture

Evans Consoles developed its new Strata line in just six months, a reduction from its typical time to market of two years.

Evans Consoles developed its new Strata line in just six months, a reduction from its typical time to market of two years.

The furniture manufacturer for control centres, such as those used by Nasa and law enforcement agencies, credits CoCreate's OneSpace Designer Modeling for these results.

The OneSpace Designer Modeling software, which enables online product development, allowed Evans to eliminate the need to produce prototypes and ultimately saved more than $150,000.

These savings, however, did not impact product integrity.

"Our designs have garnered some of the console industry's most prestigious awards", said Geoff Gosling, Evans' Director of Research and Development.

"And the Strata product line reflects our commitment to exceptional design and quality".

Strata offers modularity, cost-effectiveness and adaptability with an artistic flair.

"OneSpace Designer Modeling was a key piece in the creation of Strata.

By using OneSpace Designer Modeling, we were able to go through a lot of design interactions rather painlessly in a short time.

And because we did not have to invest a lot of time on each step of the design process, we were more open to changing the work we had already done", said Gosling.

As a result, the Strata design team did not create any physical prototypes.

"OneSpace Designer Modeling gave us the confidence in our work that we did not have to do any", said Gosling.

"Usually, a project like this would have taken two years.

One Space Designer Modeling helped us shorten the design time and lower costs drastically".

"CoCreate provides products that help companies become more productive in a short amount of time", said Bill Gascoigne, CEO of CoCreate Software.

"Evans is yet another example of a company that is more productive by using our products".

OneSpace Designer Modeling is part of CoCreate's OneSpace Solution Suite, a collaborative product development software.

OneSpace Designer Modeling provides a 3D collaborative design solution encouraging innovation, and accelerating the process and quality of your designs.

Its dynamic modelling technology offers the base for a collaborative design environment.

Evans has adopted OneSpace Designer Modeling as a standard tool for its collaborative product development.
