SOLID EDGE SYSTEM IMPLEMENTATION TEAMS

A stellar CAD implementation orbits around a nucleus made of standardization, data management, and training.  Solid Advantage gained core competency with Solid Edge and Insight, by using these tools in engineering activity.  Not just by learning about the tools abstractly, but by mastering their detailed applications in various practical scenarios.

We reveal what works best, and where the demons lurk.  We can help you shape a well-tuned design engineering system by identifying advantages that are hidden in the tools and your current systems.  And we can steer you around some classic pitfalls.

The following resources are currently registered Associates. 

Engineering Systems Analyst – with several years of practical experience in Solid Edge CAD management and Insight implementation.  Our Director is in demand to speak on Solid Edge implementation.  He can –

  • assess current state and requirements
  • map a path to higher performance engineering
  • guide the transformation
  • troubleshoot and problem-solve
  • coach cadre in best practices and setting standards.


Insight Specialist – recently responsible for corporate Insight implementations and current on Version 2.  This Associate has given national user presentations on Insight, outlining preparation steps, and defining the criteria for successful installation.  He can guide the whole process –
