Delphi's formal, structured methodologies help reduce product and process design costs and increase productivity throughout the design-to-manufacturing cycle.

CADVenture markets the leading CAD/CAM platform SolidWorks along with training and consulting services to companies in Ohio and Pennsylvania.

"Horizontal Modeling and Digital Process Design have been proven to help increase efficiency while saving time and money and cutting the design-to- production cycle time," said Timothy Forbes, director, new markets, commercialization and licensing for Delphi Corp. "Because of its expertise with SolidWorks, CADVenture will help instruct a whole new set of designers on the HM-DPD process."

Using HM, designers can produce higher quality 3-D CAD models with their existing CAD systems. Editing and changing data is easier and all the data is available and usable in downstream functions. DPD starts with horizontal models to rapidly create master process models and their associated process sheets. When combined, these methodologies enable greater concurrency between product and process design, shorter design-to-product cycles, increased productivity and greater innovation.

"Delphi's Methods will allow SolidWorks designers and engineers to leverage the power of these methods and deliver enhanced results using this efficient platform," said Rich Schreiner, vice president of CADVenture.

Delphi's HM/DPD programs will be available from CADVenture beginning this month.

CADVenture joins Cadpo and SCATE Technologies as the third training provider of Delphi's best practices CAD/CAM methodologies.
