Craig Jones Design (www.craigjonesdesign.com) was founded in 2000 and is a furniture / product design company developing product solutions within the commercial and domestic furniture industry. Investing in technology such as SolidWorks to generate competitive advantage is paramount to the success of the business and it enables the design and development of new products with greater accuracy and speed.

"We knew we had to look at a changing our design process following the completion of two large-scale 'million pound plus' furniture design programmes. There was a great deal of change required during the design project, which meant time consuming and error prone
re-drawing within the existing 2D system.

After evaluating a number of systems, I was convinced that the power and ability to make changes within SolidWorks could dramatically improve our design process ultimately saving time and money". said Managing Director Craig Jones

The decision to move to SolidWorks was also driven to keep in line with major key customers who are already using SolidWorks. One customer manufactures ergonomic accessories, which involves plastic injection moulding, aluminium castings and steel pressings. SolidWorks gives Craig Jones Design much more flexibility in producing free form styled aesthetic shapes that can be modified quickly and easily.

"SolidWorks has proved to be a highly capable design package. It has been quick to learn and will drastically increase our speed of product development and improve the quality of our designs" commented Craig
