SOLIDWORKS' SOFTWARE REDUCES DESIGN TIME FOR CASH BASES
Leading Developer of Customized Cash Drawers Cuts Development Cycle from 10 days to 30 Minutes
CONCORD, Mass. - January 18, 2000 - SolidWorks Corporation, a leading provider of affordable, easy-to-use 3D
CAD software for the mainstream design-centric market, today announced that Cash Bases Ltd., has standardized on
SolidWorks software. Headquartered in Newhaven, England, Cash Bases designs and manufactures custom-built
cash register drawers for worldwide market leaders in a variety of industries, including retail, financial institutions,
post offices, kiosk and lottery operations, bars and restaurants, amusement parks, shipping lines, and railway
terminals. Cash Bases is working with SolidWorks UK-based reseller, NT CADCAM, for ongoing software support
and services.
“We’re constantly updating the designs of our products to meet the needs of individual customers. We design
approximately six new cash drawers each week, as every customer wants something different,” said Hugh Burnett,
managing director of Cash Bases. “Before we used SolidWorks, redesigning cash drawers took about 10 days, but
now we’re able to completely change the specifications of a drawer in only 30 minutes. SolidWorks gives us huge
productivity improvements.”
Burnett also noted SolidWorks’ powerful sheet metal capabilities, affordable price, and extensive reseller channel as
key reasons for purchasing the software. “SolidWorks and NT CADCAM were not only easy to work with, but their
extensive knowledge of the product and the CAD industry gave us insights into how we could exploit the
technology to improve product design, reduce time to market, and ultimately impact our bottom line.”
“The fast-paced design changes that occur at Cash Bases are experienced by companies all over the world,” said
Michel Gros, vice president of SolidWorks European office. “This is a perfect example of how SolidWorks’ design
flexibility can significantly increase productivity and drive down cycle times. We are looking forward to
contributing to Cash Bases’ development of hundreds of new products each year.”
