Challenges
To maintain the status of architectural millwork industry leader in North America, Groupe Beaubois would need to evolve and integrate new technologies into their existing practices, to optimize project efficiency and streamline their operations, without compromising their work quality.
Solution: SWOOD
- Production-ready designs help designers to standardise and create consistent design rules with ease, which enables team members to work together more effectively with minimal training.
- SWOOD features enable them to create parts with Lego-like shapes that speed up assembly and minimised the need for extensive drawing.
- The interconnection of SWOOD Design and SWOOD CAM facilitates program creation automatically, throughout the process, from design to manufacturing, using different machine recognition.
- Better imagination and visualisation of the design in a realistic 3D model provides both designers and clients with a clear idea of the final product draft. Increased customer satisfaction.
“It helped us input more information into the model so that the builder or the rest of the team could put it together without much training. They helped us create our internal resources as well. This tool helped us accelerate our turnaround and, in a way, helped us open the doors to the future.”
– Étienne Pilote-Fortin, Beaubois Designer
