Lino Simplify

Anyone who still removes screws, holes, and internal assemblies manually from a SolidWorks model before sending it to a supplier is paying a price—in terms of labor hours, the risk of errors, and tied-up engineering capacity. This process can be automated. And there’s no good reason to wait.

Recently, Schwingshandl automation technology GmbH no longer has to worry about intellectual property falling into the wrong hands when it gives 3D models of its lifting and conveying equipment to third parties. Because with Lino® Simplify, the special-purpose machine builder from Austria generates simplified models in a targeted manner - and manageable STEP files.

Lino GmbH, a specialist in 3D configuration solutions for end-to-end business process automation (CPQ, CAD automation, system integration) in the manufacturing industry, and the Dutch Solidworks expert Studio Zwaard have jointly developed the software Lino® Simplify through a development partnership. This Solidworks add-on automates the process of model simplification.

Up until just recently, Seydelmann KG only used 2D layout plans in the beginning of project. This manufacturer of food production equipment was looking for a leading-edge solution that enables more flexible and attractive sales presentations. Seydelmann expected Lino® 3D layout to give them a major technological boost – but what they got was a whole lot more.
