INDUSTRIAS ROMI S/A Selects SolidWorks Software as Worldwide Engineering Standard
CONCORD, Mass., Jan. 4, 2000 - Largest Manufacturer of Tooling and Plastic Injection Machines in
Latin America Standardizes on SolidWorks
SolidWorks Corporation, a leading provider of affordable, easy-to-use 3D CAD software for the
mainstream design-centric market, today announced that INDUSTRIAS ROMI(R) S/A, located in Santa
Barbara D'Oeste, Sao Paulo, Brazil, has chosen SolidWorks(R) software as the standard for its design
engineering desktops. ROMI will be using 104 seats of SolidWorks for designing, manufacturing, and
marketing its line of machine tools, plastic injection molding machines, high precision adjustable boring
systems, and rough and machined castings. Founded more than 65 years ago, ROMI is the largest
manufacturer of machine tools and plastic injection equipment in Latin America with office locations around
the world.
More than a year ago, ROMI decided to make the transition from 2D CAD to 3D solid modeling
software. After an extensive evaluation of several CAD systems available in the Brazilian marketplace, ROMI
chose SolidWorks for its native Windows(R) environment, ease-of-use, large assembly capabilities, short
learning curve, and competitive price. ROMI will use SolidWorks from the initial design stages of its products
through the development of the final assemblies.
"Our main objective in purchasing SolidWorks was to increase productivity, improve accuracy, and
reduce design time," said William dos Reis of ROMI. "We also want to ensure a fast and secure exchange of
information within the company and improve product quality through imaging and product documentation.
The sophisticated modeling capabilities of SolidWorks allows our engineers to design and build better tooling
machines and plastic injection units that are higher in quality, lower in cost, and easier to create."
SolidWorks also donated 15 educational copies of its software to the ROMI Foundation CAD laboratory,
a non-profit teaching institution developed for engineering students.
SolidWorks reseller, ASSESSOCON, and SolidWorks Latin America, represented by Jung Systems
Informatica Ltda will provide installation, training, and support to ROMI.
