The race to market spans across most industries including furniture accessory manufacturers. Product development processes must be continually improved and the machinery used to produce those products optimized to beat the competition to market.<\/p>\n
SAMET was an early adopter of 3D CAD in 1998, when the company replaced the Vector Graphics\u00ae 2D design software that it had used with the SOLIDWORKS\u00ae 3D mechanical design system.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs our new product development and R&D effort has grown, so has our need for other integrated capabilities,\u201d notes R&D Machine Design\/Production Manager Beytullah Kiran. \u201cSOLIDWORKS design software is easy to learn and use, so we decided to standardize on SOLIDWORKS solutions.\u201d<\/p>\n
Faster Concepts, Fewer Prototypes<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cWith SOLIDWORKS, we not only can assess the viability of a new concept faster but we also can develop the product and associated documentation in less time,\u201d says Kiran. \u201cWe develop three to five new products, 120 to 150 new mold and die designs, and 50 custom application machines every year.\u201d SAMET has reduced the number of prototypes by 50 to 60 percent using the SOLIDWORKS product development system.<\/p>\n The company has grown dramatically since its inception in Istanbul in 1973, and now manufactures more than 3,000 furniture accessories and components and has more than 500 distribution centers across Turkey, and also exports to more than 100 countries.<\/p>\n Time-Savings Abound SOLIDWORKS Composer has enabled SAMET to repurpose 3D CAD data to create high-quality, dynamic illustrations for technical documentation. The documentation group, which develops user manuals, catalogs, and product documentation, can produce these items in 40 percent less time by using integrated SOLIDWORKS Composer software, according to Kiran.<\/p>\n Integrated Solutions See the full story: https:\/\/www.solidworks.com\/story\/samet<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Utilizing SOLIDWORKS integrated product development platform, SAMET cut their need for prototypes by over 50 percent and increased their productivity gains, resulting in a 30 percent improvement in product time to market.<\/p>\n...

\nSOLIDWORKS Product Data Management (PDM) Professional was also implemented and has helped SAMET achieve important productivity gains, resulting in a 30 percent improvement in product time to market. The SOLIDWORKS design environment also enables SAMET to communicate and collaborate more effectively with customers and colleagues in 3D.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/blog-assets.solidworks.com\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/08\/master_01_image.jpg\")
