An integral part of the corporate culture of earthmoving equipment manufacturer, Bell Equipment, is a strong design philosophy that reinforces the company's drive to differentiate its products from those of its competitiors.
Bell Equipment implements this philosophy with the aid of the mechanical design software, Autodesk Inventor Series. It has designed its fourth generation, D-series of articulated dump trucks using the software, which is developed by Autodesk. The technology solution helps manufacturers solve critical business challenges by giving them the tools to innovate, increase productivity, optimise processes, and bring higher-quality products to market faster for less cost.
