At SOLIDWORKS we often hear from customers who are happy to share how the software helped them complete their projects. Design {it} Mill Inc., (DIM), is no exception. The design studio specializes in architectural fa\u00e7ade\/roof systems for new construction. They draw on the talents of creative, cross-disciplinary professionals with backgrounds in architecture and mechanical engineering to develop highly customized fa\u00e7ade, building envelope, fabrication, and specialty curtain wall detailing solutions.<\/p>\n

DIM turned to SOLIDWORKS for 3D solid modeling and product data management (PDM) solutions to tackle the challenges associated with transforming advanced architectural concepts into actual structures. According to Partner Mark Cichy, \u201cEverything we do is unique and often the first of its kind. From the beginning, we knew that we needed a capable 3D platform that could support the modeling of surfaces and solids, analysis of components and structural supports, and management of design data and workflows.\u201d<\/p>\n

One of those unique projects was TD Place at Lansdowne Park, a historic sports, exhibition and entertainment facility in Ottawa\u2019s urban center. After the opening day at the stadium, they sent us the following link to the photos<\/a>. While poking around on the site, I also found a really cool link to a blog post on \u201cModel vs. Reality<\/a>\u201d comparing some of the three dimensional images from SOLIDWORKS with a number of site photos. Great to see that they were very similar!<\/p>\n
