CASE STUDY

Creo Users Solve Revision Control and External Sharing Issues

Paul Hammerstrom had 13 years of experience with various PDM, PLM and CAD manage-ment tools by the time he started his own design firm. Even though he knew PDM would give him a leg up on the competition, he couldn't afford the expensive hardware and software required.

Results

Eliminated internal miscommunication

"We looked at PLM with all the bells and whistles and I tried many of the lower cost solutions out there, but nothing is even close to the cost/benefit ratio of Workbench."

Paul Hammerstrom Design Engineer

The product development team at Paul Hammer-strom Design needed a better way to manage Creo files, but traditional PDM was too expensive. They also wanted an easy way to share externally, but low-cost file sharing options couldn't cope with com-plex assemblies.

Paul's team, which is spread across the US, wanted to have a common "vault" that not only gave everyone secure access to their CAD data, but also gave them the ability to lock files so they wouldn't overwrite each other's work.

Solution

Challenge

Paul Hammerstrom Design chose GrabCAD Workbench as their cloud-based PDM. The

team saw immediate results. File locking reduced the time needed to make changes to parts and assemblies. Better version control sped up design iterations. Partner spaces allow clients to give feedback during the design process - no CAD required.

Workbench keeps track of your files so you don't have to. Learn more at grabcad.com/workbench

Workbench provides the perfect balance of internal file management and external collaboration capa-bilities without draining financial and human resources.

He also knew implementing and administering a traditional PDM system would consume his own time.

Diagnosed and addressed design issues

quickly

Built stronger client relationships

Another challenge was keeping clients in the loop during the design process. Their frequent screen-sharing sessions were too time-consuming.
