The challenge

The growth of MBS required a transition from artisan production to large-scale mechanical engineering. Concepts took time, testing required physical prototypes and modifications were labor intensive.

The solution: IronCAD

MBS chose IronCAD because of its ease of use and flexibility. Without extensive CAD experience, the team was able to quickly get started with 3D designs.

  • Fully 3D machine design, testing and optimization
  • Quickly customize and instantly visualize designs
  • Fewer physical prototypes and less material waste
  • Shorter lead time from concept to production

Result: 25% faster from idea to machine

With IronCAD, MBS develops and delivers complete machines up to 25% faster. For example, a large-scale PT190 compost converter was developed and delivered in just three-quarters of the usual time.
