M2 Technologies Boosts Adden Furniture Production by 50%

Westborough, MA Manufacturing Design Consultant, M2 Technologies assists Adden Furniture to increase their productivity by over 50%. Adden Furniture is currently utilizing the best in industry standards, documentation, and 3D technology.

Adden Furniture specializes in furniture and seating for the Educational, Military and Health Care Industries. Before engaging M2 Technologies, Adden was using AutoCAD LT, which is a 2D Software program. In addition to some bandwidth issues from designing and redesigning, Adden Furniture decided to move their manufacturing line from Massachusetts to North Carolina and required a better standard of communication and documentation in order to sustain the move.

M2’s solution was to implement and train the Adden staff on Autodesk Inventor and Autodesk Vault. The software implementation allowed Adden Furniture to drive their product line through 3D software and facilitate a system for data management and reuse. According to M2 Account Executive Jim Beliveau, “Our technical team was instrumental in helping Adden Furniture to develop a methodology for driving their product line parametrically through skeletal models and parameters within Autodesk Inventor.”

As a result of the crossgrade from AutoCAD LT to Autodesk Inventor Suite 2009 and the help from M2’s Consulting Team, Adden Furniture has decreased manufacturing errors and created a higher quality of visualization and design for their internal and customer use. Adden Furniture made the competitive decision to heighten their technology and it has paid off with an increase in customer satisfaction and productivity. M2 Technologies will continue to provide ongoing support to Adden Furniture through CAD Learning, Technical Support, and Onsite Assistance.
