The Client Requirement

Client Profile - Leading Steel Fabrication Company

The client is based in the United States (New Jersey) and has provided customized steel fabrication services for 80 years. They manufacture products that include food service equipment, kitchen ventilation systems, tray dispensers, hot food tables and dish/tray handling carts that have revolutionized food distribution processes.

Client Requirements and Challenges - 3D Models of Food Service Trays

The client needed an engineering services partner to help with creating 3D models for sheet metal tray fabrication designs and converting legacy design files to updated formats using Autodesk Inventor 3D software. Requirements included coordinating workable and cost-effective designs for both tray handling carts and food processing/serving units.
