With OneSpace modelling, Corazza ensured that its existing drawings remained compatible with future work.
Sympak Corazza has upgraded its design environment to 3D CAD, implementing new licenses of CoCreate OneSpace modelling.
The company, based in Bologna, Italy, lies in the very heart of the "Packaging Valley".
In 1954, the company began by developing the FD220, a machine that wraps bullion cubes.
Next, it added more equipment to meet the requirements of customers like Kraft, Unilever, Nestle and Star.
Since then, Corazza has installed more than 3000 machines in 75 countries for dosing and wrapping bullion cubes, processed cheese and butter portions.
"We have relied on CoCreate for over 10 years", says Luigi Bassi, IT Manager at Sympak Corazza, Italy.
"We started with CoCreate's 2D software, CoCreate OneSpace Drafting [formerly ME10], which many considered a must for mechanical engineering companies at that time".
The company has now selected CoCreate for its 3D solution for two reasons.
First, it couldn't risk losing its existing library of designs.
"Our rich heritage of drawings represents the actual history of Sympak Corazza", says Bassi.
With OneSpace modelling, the company ensured that its existing drawings remained compatible with future work.
Second, CoCreate's OneSpace modelling offers history-free design.
"We manufacture machinery with several high-tech aggregates", says Bassi.
"CoCreate's dynamic modelling approach is ideal for leveraging and maximising our designers' creativity".
OneSpace modelling is an essential part of CoCreate's lean product development philosophy.
Lean product development calls for technology that blends easily with existing production tools, but also brings significantly less complexity and more value to design processes.
As such, OneSpace modelling supports features like rich master models, so designers can attach any information to models.
Then, anyone who uses the model later can be sure of the original designer's intent.
With the new licenses, Sympak Corazza now works with 17 OneSpace Drafting and five OneSpace modelling seats.
It has also added Model Manager for OneSpace modelling for data management and storage; plus its upgraded its OneSpace modelling licenses to include Advanced Design modules.
