After evaluating several Mechanical Computer-Aided Design software solutions the manufacturer set its choice on KOMPAS-3D for professional 3D solid modelling and 2D design. An implementation of ASCON software solutions began in 2007. After just two years of usage and testing of the system on a number of smaller projects, mid-summer 2009 MMW hit the market with a new line of their products - HD pit haul trailers, entirely designed in KOMPAS-3D.

The new line of HD pit haul trailers each with a payload of 80t has the ability to operate continually in extreme conditions with minimal maintenance. The MMW manufactured components including chassis, body, couplings and tipping system are all entirely greaseless and were totally developed in KOMPAS-3D and its add-ons. The brakes and running gear are quality HD components but require the usual maintenance and lubrication.

The basic task, being solved by KOMPAS-3D at the company is the modeling of products in order to considerably reduce the period of their designing and launch them into production as fast as possible. Today all the industrial enterprises are under constant pressure to design more innovative products and bring them to market faster. KOMPAS-3D set of solutions for 3D modelling and 2D drafting helps the company to design more effectively, conceptualize, model, and test products before the production stage, saving time and money.
