Orange County Choppers


Orange County Choppers relies on SolidWorks Premium software to efficiently respond to the onslaught of orders that accompany the popularity of its “American Chopper” television show.

The Challenge


Riding a wave of popularity related to its breakthrough reality television show, “American Chopper,” Orange County Choppers (OCC) has designed and built custom motorcycles since 1999. The success of the show led to an onslaught of orders. Founder Paul Teutul, Sr., realized that the company would have to leverage computerized design and manufacturing technologies to handle the dramatic increase in business.


The Solution


OCC chose SolidWorks® Premium software as its standard design platform because it is easy to use, includes design visualization and surfacing tools, and integrates well with MasterCAM® computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) software, which automates machining on the company’s HAAS CNC production systems. By implementing SolidWorks, OCC accelerated its time-to-market by 100 percent, shortened its design cycles by 64 percent, cut development costs by 50 percent, and eliminated seven rounds of prototyping.

Success Metric


  • Accelerated time-to-market by 100%

  • Shortened design cycles by 75%

  • Cut development costs by 50%

  • Eliminated several rounds of prototyping

MSD Ignition


SolidWorks software supports MSD Ignition’s increased use of injection-molded plastic parts, including some parts in the NASCAR distributor shown here, by providing greater mold development power.

The Challenge


MSD Ignition is the leading producer of ignition controls, engine components, and automotive accessories for professional race cars and high-performance street vehicles. In 2004, the company began looking for a parametric 3D CAD system with greater mold design power than their existing CAD, Mechanical Desktop and Autodesk Inventor, in order to address increased mold development and production demands.


The Solution


After purchasing a trial seat of SolidWorks CAD software, MSD Ignition chose to migrate to SolidWorks Professional software for all new product development. The company chose SolidWorks CAD software because of its dedicated mold development tools, greater modeling power, better quality support, and advanced surfacing and configuration capabilities. By moving to SolidWorks Professional software, MSD Ignition has boosted mold throughput by 25 percent, shortened mechanical/electrical systems integration time by 75 percent, improved mold quality, and increased mold complexity and innovation.

Success Metric


  • Boosted mold throughput by over 25%

  • Shortened mechanical/electrical systems integration time by 75%

  • Improved mold quality

  • Increased mold complexity and innovation

Amtrak


AMTRAK uses SolidWorks design, SolidWorks Simulation analysis, and SolidWorks Enterprise PDM software to maintain, refurbish, and modernize its fleet of passenger railcars.

The Challenge


To support record ridership, AMTRAK—the nation’s intercity passenger rail provider and only high-speed rail operator— must maintain, refurbish, and modernize its fleet of passenger rail cars. AMTRAK’s engineers had used 2D design tools, including CADKey® and AutoCAD® software, until 1999. That’s when engineering management determined that 3D tools were necessary for taking the rail company’s transportation offerings into the 21st century.


The Solution


After evaluating available 3D systems, AMTRAK chose SolidWorks® software, implementing 25 licenses, and later adding licenses of SolidWorks Simulation and SolidWorks Enterprise PDM software. AMTRAK selected SolidWorks because of its ease of use, compatibility with legacy 2D data, and integrated analysis and PDM (product data management) applications. By choosing SolidWorks, AMTRAK increased design productivity by 60 percent, realized time savings of 40 percent, improved management of 500,000 design files, and reduced design errors and quality issues.

Success Metric


  • Increased design productivity by 60 percent

  • Realized time savings of 40 percent

  • Improved management of 500,000 design files

  • Reduced design errors and quality issues
