Kingslake launched a set of engineering software tools from UGS, a US based global leader in CAD/CAM and PLM solutions, to help Sri Lankan companies compete more effectively in product design and manufacture by using fully three-dimensional tools.

UGS Solid Edge is an industry-leading mechanical design system with exceptional tools for creating and managing 3D digital prototypes. Solid Edge is the only mainstream mechanical system that merges design management capabilities with the CAD tools that designers use every day. Solid Edge modelling and assembly tools enable an engineering team to easily develop a full range of products, from single parts to assemblies containing thousands of components.

A delighted customer of Kingslake, National Engineering Research Development Centre (NERD), Ms. Preeni Vithanage Head Centre for Manufacturing Excellence of NERD Centre made a presentation on how the Lifebuoy hand wash container for Unilever was designed and manufactured using Solid Edge.

She said that "UGS has provided tools to NERD to do the full range of three dimensional design, analysis, manufacturing and simulation and this technology is essential to speed up the whole design to manufacture cycle. With these technology based tools we can innovate in Sri Lanka rather than import the finished product."

Commenting on the reason for UGS software becoming the design tool of choice among product designers, Avinash Kumar, Sales Manager, UGS Software, India said: "Tailored commands and structured work flows accelerate the design of features common in specific industries and ensure accurate fit and function of parts by designing, analysing and modifying them within the assembly model."
