Oasis Trailer MFG
Oasis Trailer achieves a 75% reduction in design time by automating their SOLIDWORKS parts, assemblies and drawings using DriveWorksXpress.
Company overview
Oasis Trailer MFG Ltd have been manufacturing custom trailers in Rolling Hills, Canada since 2006.
We recently caught up with them to see how they’ve been using DriveWorksXpress to speed up their design process.
We use DriveWorksXpress on a regular basis here at Oasis Trailer MFG. It is a game changer in saving time. Tasks like creating different sizes of axle assemblies and different sizes and configurations of trailer doors used to take 20 – 30 minutes of repetitive work, but now with the help of DriveWorksXpress these tasks are cut down to less than 5 minutes. This hassle free process frees up design time to focus on custom high value design that makes our trailers special.

Fast and easy set up
Using DriveWorksXpress, Oasis Trailer have created simple forms where they enter product specifications. These inputs automate the requirements for the hub face, the spring center and the wheel options of the axles.
Oasis Trailers have also taken advantage of the different form control options in DriveWorksXpress, using both drop-down and spin button inputs.
Each time a new specification is entered on the form, DriveWorksXpress works in the background to calculate the rules and drive the SOLIDWORKS model.
