Success Story

Virtual Design by eVektor

Virtual Design by eVektor

Customer challenge

EVektor is an international company and belongs among the leading development and manufacturing companies which are active in the aircraft industry of the Czech Republic. Besides aviation, EVektor has extensive development activities in the area of automotive and mechanical engineering industry. Their studio of industrial design has longstanding experience with the design of aircraft and car interiors, as well as with a number of design concepts of new machines and equipment. They were looking for software tools allowing them to cover their design and prototyping workflow.

Project goals

EVektor is active in the research of new technologies in aviation which should reduce fuel consumption, emissions of green house gases CO2, and Nox and noise emissions occurring during aircraft operation. EVektor has been also continuously cooperating with leading Czech car manufacturers. EVektor specializes in the design of sheet-metal parts for car bodies and plastic interior panels including dashboards. Another very successful area is the design of rear-view mirrors. For this, the need for state-of-the-art software tools is critical for allowing to streamline their digital rapid prototyping workflow.

Solution

After reviewing the customer's business needs, the individual customer requirements were met by Autodesk's innovative design tools - the Alias family of solutions - and supported by Autodesk Solution Provider Arkance Systems. Autodesk and Arkance Systems provided the winning formula for setting EVektor up for success.

Business outcome

The design and development of sheet-metal parts now includes the concept and design of car body parts or other bigger components; for example, c-columns, ceiling panels, rear parts of car body parts, the concept and design of doors and opening mechanisms, filling panels of doors or hoods. Design visualizations help to attract new customers and provide better insights on existing designs.

Conclusion

Using the Autodesk design tools has helped to streamline the rapid prototyping workflow, create marketing materials, and add 3D printing to existing workflows.

BIM to the Construction Site Along With BIM Quality Management

"Making our engineers aware of what they are doing was the main reason for me to implement BIM 360 Build at PENDIK Projects," says Spencer Hellegering, head of the Projects department at the Veenendaal-based installer. Originally founded in 2006, PENDIK is a service company. With around 8,000 to 10,000 service contracts, mainly through housing associations and property managers, PENDIK was particularly strong in responding to complaints and reports. Setting up a Projects Department within an originally service-oriented company was quite a challenge. Hellegering: "The working method of a service company is very different. As a service company, you need different knowledge of installation technology than you do for new construction and renovation projects. The staff have to start thinking differently. We used to go to a leak and fix it. But now we have to make sure it doesn't leak!" PENDIK now employs around 40 people, 20 of whom work in the Projects Department.

Communication on site via BIM 360

As one of the largest construction companies in Flanders, MBG stands out for its sense of innovation. In order to optimise their complex Design and Build projects, MBG is investing heavily in the digitisation of their building sites. With Autodesk BIM 360, they have a powerful tool that makes 'bimming' on the building site more accessible and easier. In 2018, the then project manager Nelis Van Loock was appointed BIM Coordinator to streamline everything and put the BIM 360 platform into practice on the site.
