Foster Refrigerators Designed With SolidWorksOne of the largest commercial refrigerator manufacturers in Europe is using SolidWorks 3D CAD and COSMOS design analysis software to develop units that take a beating every day in industrial kitchens and other foodservice environments around the world.
Foster Refrigerator has cut development time by as much as 50 percent, and reduced prototyping costs by as much as 30 percent after standardizing on SolidWorks software.
For more than 40 years, Foster Refrigerator has set new benchmarks for a broad range of products including blast chillers and freezers, refrigerated storage cabinets and counters, walk-in cold rooms, refrigeration systems, prep stations, ice makers, water coolers, and special refrigeration and temperature monitoring equipment for professional bakers.
The company standardized on SolidWorks to speed new product design and reduce costs for the hundreds of different customized models it sells.
"Our products don't get much respect in the average restaurant kitchen," said Andrew Hodges, senior development engineer at Foster.
"Kitchen staff only care that they work.
So we have to make sure they're durable, that they perform as we say they will, and that they meet the unique space and temperature needs for every customer.
