SolidWorks Software Opens New Doors to Design Creativity
Giesse Industrial Group, one of Europe's largest manufacturers of metal frames and fittings for aluminum products used in windows and doors, has standardized on SolidWorks(R) 3D mechanical design and COSMOSXpress(TM) design analysis software to accelerate product development and time to market.

Based in Bologna, Italy, Giesse makes window components and other mechanisms for opening and closing windows and doors in the home and office. Since 1965, the company has built a reputation for innovating new solutions to help end users make the most of their door and window spaces. Giesse chose SolidWorks to accelerate new product design. The software's intuitive user interface, flexibility, and ease of use allow engineers to quickly explore a variety of design options.

"SolidWorks lets us capitalize on time-to-market speed," said Mark Lambertini, president of Giesse. "The software allows us to complete complex design steps in just a couple of mouse clicks, rather than force us into a complicated process that takes hours to finish. That kind of design speed allows our engineers to introduce better product innovations faster, helping us build on our market leadership."

SolidWorks also reduces Giesse's product development time by automating engineering changes throughout the design, rather than forcing engineers to re-draw a d
