When I started with Astro Aerospace the engineering team was working with old versions of SolidWorks and COSMOS. Hawk Ridge Systems stepped up with training support and helped us transition to the current versions and SolidWorks PDM which improved our productivity.

Bianchi chooses SolidWorks to design better high-end bicyclesSolidWorks 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.
