Success Story
David Krynauw Design (pty) ltd., a furniture design and manufacturing company, faced challenges moving from their 2D design environment and secondary CAM process, which hindered their ability to seamlessly integrate design with production. They needed a comprehensive 3D design software that would enable them to create accurate and detailed 3D models, visualize final products, track part numbers, and simplify version control.
The project goals were to:
Migrate from a 2D design environment to a comprehensive 3D design software.
Improve accuracy and detail in design visualization and track part numbers.
Simplify version control to enable real-time design-to-production translation.
Streamline CNC machining to optimize cutting parameters and save time and
resources.
David Krynauw Design implemented Autodesk's Fusion 360 to streamline their furniture design and manufacturing process. Fusion 360's 3D design capabilities enabled the company to create accurate and detailed 3D models of their designs, which allowed them to visualize final products and develop the metadata needed to create and track part numbers. The software's version control features eliminated the challenge of keeping track of the most recent amendments and facilitated real-time design-to-production translation. Moreover, Fusion 360's advanced CAM features enabled the company to streamline CNC machining by generating tool-paths and optimizing cutting parameters. Software, installation, implementation and training procured through Platinum Autodesk Partner, Modena Design Centres.
By implementing Autodesk Fusion 360, David Krynauw Design significantly improved their furniture design and manufacturing process. They were able to seamlessly integrate their design process with production, reduce errors, and streamline CNC machining to optimize cutting parameters and save time and resources. The software also allowed them to track part numbers and facilitate BOM development, enabling them to expand their business.
Migrating from a 2D design environment to a comprehensive 3D design software can be a challenging process. However, with Autodesk's Fusion 360, David Krynauw Design was able to overcome their challenges and streamline their furniture design and manufacturing process. By improving accuracy and detail in design visualization, simplifying version control, and streamlining CNC machining, the company has expanded its business and achieved new heights in its industry.

K/M2K Saves 2 Hours of Work per Design Review through Better Remote Teamwork with Autodesk BIM360
During the Covid-19 Pandemic of 2020, K/M2K Architecture and Interior Design found themselves struggling to navigate remote working during a national lockdown. Traditional methods of file sharing were found inefficient and lacking for a team that needed to communicate a lot of information at a high frequency.
From 2D AutoCAD to Intelligent iLogic-driven 3D Inventor Designs
Palian was using 2D AutoCAD in a primarily 3D dominated field, struggling with collaboration between branches and the length of time it would take to make relatively small changes to designs. Getting drawings and quantities to the sales team for quotation purposes took longer than desired and a lot of manual user calculations and input was still needed, which increased the change of costly "human error" mistakes.
DRA Global takes on Project Delays with Innovative use of Technology
DRA Global had to overcome a delay of 25 days over deadline for their Sierra Leone Project, so they needed to find a way to get that time back to avoid running over with this project. The impact of this was on their future expansion projects within the same mine, in Sierra Leone, which would be double the size of the original project.
