Bianchi
chooses SolidWorks to design better high-end bicycles
SolidWorks
and COSMOS analysis software help legendary Italian manufacturer speed innovations
to market
CONCORD, Mass., Jan. 16, 2007 –
Bianchi, a venerable Italian bicycle producer for more than a century, has chosen
SolidWorks® and COSMOS® software to design better bicycles that display
a powerful combination of high technology, design, and innovation.
Founded in 1885 and synonomous with “made in
Italy,” the Bergamo firm produces approximately 60,000 bicycles a year,
including racing bicycles, mountain bikes, and bikes for children. Using SolidWorks
Office Premium 3D CAD and COSMOSWorks® analysis software, Bianchi has dramatically
shortened time to market and reduced materials usage by minimizing reliance
on physical prototypes.
The company has always adopted innovative
tools and techniques that can advance the Bianchi brand through superior technology,
rapid product delivery, and flexible design capacity. To that end, 3D CAD and
SolidWorks are now essential for Bianchi’s bike and part design, whether
in aluminum alloy, carbon fiber, or titanium.
