The “Masters of Crystal” Create Cut Crystal Chandeliers and Light Fixtures in Half the Time, with 70 Percent Fewer Errors Using Autodesk Software
The Czech-based company uses Autodesk Inventor software, in conjunction with AutoCAD Mechanical and Autodesk Vault Professional software, to design, visualize and simulate its products in 3D and easily share digital prototypes with customers—helping them design their dazzling wares in half the time and with 70 percent fewer mistakes."(Bob) Bennett's been very gracious all along," the senator's nephew said. "He's met with us in person when we go to lobby him. Not all congressional delegations have been willing to do that, to take the time to sit down with us in their offices."“Digital Prototyping is helping Preciosa accelerate its design process and win new business,” said Robert “Buzz” Kross, senior vice president, Manufacturing Industry Group at Autodesk. “Its successful application of Inventor is a model for effectively catering to a discerning customer base while saving time and money.”Also on the concert bill is opening act Michael and Dawn Moon, who in addition to being touring singers and songwriters, work on Chico Basin Ranch.Digital Workflow Improves Design ProcessesLaws like the one supported by the church and passed in Salt Lake City and Salt Lake County prevent a landlord from denying housing or an employer from firing someone based on sexual preferences and orientation.Having this digital workflow in place has enabled Preciosa to significantly reduce adverse factors in the manufacturing process, which can be challenging to prevent without 3D models. Additionally, the company has reduced the number of physical prototypes needed before the completion of a design. Preciosa now finds complex chandeliers that once took a month to design can be completed in two weeks or less.About DagisStratton served an LDS Church mission in the early 1990s.
