3D Program Aids Design of Custom Iron Work

Keuka Studios designs and manufactures custom architectural iron work and cable railings for commercial and home use. Keuka Studios first designs a product in CAD, CNC machines it to shape, and then takes the assembly to their forge, which adds the design elements. Dan White, founder and president of Keuka Studios, was frustrated by the limitations of existing design tools. Despite over 25 years of experience as a mechanical engineer with a deep working knowledge of 3D CAD, animation, rendering, and finite element analysis software, he could not be as creative with product design as he wanted.
