The challenge for Custom Engineering & Fabrication was improving the workflow and communication between Engineering and Manufacturing departments. The creation of plate nests for plasma cutters and saw cut lists for structural steel components was a manual process that would require 2-3 days to complete a single drawing. With one engineer managing the workflow, a 13-week backlog added to the challenge and Custom Engineering wondered if hiring another engineer would be the resolution. It was clear that to combat such a crippling bottleneck to their process, they would need a versatile solution customized to their business and operations.
The solution D3 provided to Custom Engineering and Fabrication centered around a critical bottleneck of information flow between Engineering and Manufacturing. Because this was such a labor-intensive issue for them we proposed implementing the Autodesk Trunest product to improve their efficiency.
With Custom Engineering’s challenge identified, D3 was able to assist in designing a three-phased approach to address the key issues. The following is the course of action D3 helped design for Customer Engineering:

The Autodesk TruNest product was the winning solution to address the critical workflow issues Custom Engineering was facing. TruNests ability to translate, optimize, and manufacture the nest on all standard machines as well as its ability to translate data from many sources made it the right solution to solve the problem of information between Engineering and Manufacturing becoming a bottleneck.
