“Quoting times have been drastically reduced from about 4 hours to 30 minutes. Our quoting consistency has vastly improved and the guys are absolutely over the moon about it. Using the configurator to ‘bypass’ the drafting team and go directly to manufacturing has reduced production lead times by 3-4 days. The ROI on our current use of the software internally is massive–at least 80%.”

Your Business In Software

Our solutions accurately drive design for complex solutions from reconstructive dental surgery (producing 3D printed drill guides for technicians), airfield design for the Air Force, to end-to-end product kitting with our partner Sayfa. Yours could be next! 

Embrace Constraints

Embrace constraints to automate what doesn't change. For example, railings can't span 100 ft without posts in the middle. Similarly, your products have rules your experts follow to create your designs. We build those rules into your solution so you eliminate mistakes, and fast track design output. 

Rich-Intelligent Model

Your LightningCAD solution doesn't simply offer a representation of your products, but rather your actual design in digital format. This allows for real-time estimates, parts lists, 2D/3D visuals, and more as you design.

Real-World Context

Whether you design over floor plans, analyze topography maps, or work in highly technical industries, LightningCAD was created to be customized to your company's needs and how you deliver products. 

More than just a design tool
Not only do LightningCAD solutions streamline your design output, but it can also be integrated with your ideal workflow. RoleModel Software collaborates with you to think about process first, and software second so that your LightningCAD solution seamlessly fits your business. From CRM and ERP solution integration, to import/export requirements, and more.
