Challenges They Faced
How CADDi Solved It
Mitsubishi Materials USA (MMUS) operates in a dynamic sector, specializing in the manufacturing of standard and custom-engineered cutting tools for the machining industry. Although they already incorporated modern data management practices, they sought cutting-edge tools to make the custom-engineered side of business even more efficient. We’re excited to announce that CADDi was chosen to help take their engineering and sales processes to the next level.

Centralizing Knowledge to Accelerate Design Insights
Mitsubishi Materials USA implemented CADDi to take their repository of engineering and sales data and make it more searchable and insightful. When tackling a new engineering project, CADDi can instantly surface relevant past designs to give design engineers a head start. Everything from past design revisions to quality reports is collected for each drawing, allowing engineers to accelerate their design process and more efficiently incorporate the lessons learned from past projects.
Accelerating Quoting with Dynamic Data Searching
When new custom orders come in, CADDi’s dynamic search capabilities help streamline workflows. CADDi’s ability to search and index information extracted from drawings, materials, and notes allows the sales teams to find relevant data from any starting point. They can quickly verify if a requested custom design is similar to a previously manufactured project and extract relevant information without a back-and-forth with the engineering department or the requesting company to get specific information.
A regional sales manager for Mitsubishi Materials USA spoke on the ability to find critical sales and cost data quickly:
Mitsubishi is looking forward to expanding CADDi’s application beyond the initial implementation. As more team members get up to speed on using CADDi and integrate it into their workflows, it creates productivity gains larger than the sum of their parts. By continuously utilizing CADDi, Mitsubishi Materials USA is ensuring that its custom engineering is supported by fast, consistent, and searchable knowledge.
