State-of-the-Art 3D CAD Software Helps Save Customers Time and Money
May, 2008
Fairchild has made a recent investment in SolidWorks 2008, a premier 3D CAD software package used by top engineering firms across the globe. While Fairchild does not design new products for customers, SolidWorks allows us to work with part files to verify quality and integrity. It also allows us to view just about any 3D design from companies using different, more outdated software. Further, SolidWorks is being used to evaluate designs from manufacturing partners before physical samples are sent, saving time and money by correcting design issues sooner prior to tooling being cut. Our investment in engineering software is another example of how Fairchild is becoming increasingly effective and efficient in its processes.
