Whether you manage a small machine shop or a product development team at a major enterprise, SolidProfessor for Business can help you achieve your engineering design goals with our online training platform.
As a body manufacturer focusing on work trucks, Knapheide designs everything
from service bodies to platforms. And in looking for a tool to take their
engineering design team’s skillsets and experience to a higher level, they
needed something that could train new employees while keeping their design
teams learning and engaged.
Rather than trying to keep up with the latest volumes of text-heavy reference
guides and books, Knapheide switched to SolidProfessor’s online engineering
training platform to meet their needs.
Watch the video to see how Knapheide saves an estimated 30 minutes of
troubleshooting with each inquiry using SolidProfessor’s search tool.
