Bauer Compressors Significantly Increases Design Productivity with Autodesk Inventor and Avatech Solutions.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers BALTIMORE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 8, 2004 Custom 3D Automation Enables Manufacturer to Dramatically Boost Production Levels As Homeland Security Noun 1. Homeland Security - the federal department that administers all matters relating to homeland security Department of Homeland Security executive department - a federal department in the executive branch of the government of the United States Issues Mount Avatech Solutions, Inc. (OTCBB OTCBB See OTC Bulletin Board (OTCBB). :AVSO AVSO Association of Voluntary Service Organisations .OB), the recognized leader in design and engineering technology for the manufacturing, building design and engineering markets, announced that Bauer Compressors has partnered with Avatech to standardize its custom engineering applications on an Autodesk Inventor Autodesk Inventor is the 3D parametric solid modeling package produced by U.S.-based software company Autodesk. It competes with other CAD systems such as SolidWorks, Pro/ENGINEER, and Solid Edge. 3D platform. With Avatech's total solution for manufacturers, Bauer was able to convert to a more modern manufacturing system and design products in some cases in just an hour, compared to days with older methods. Bauer is duplicating this success by aggressively redesigning approximately 60 to 70% of its core product lines using Inventor. This very fast-track method is especially important with the increase in Bauer's business due to fire departments and military increasing readiness/capabilities in response to Homeland Security. "The success we've had with Avatech's approach to implementing Inventor has far exceeded our expectations," said John Dwyer John Dwyer may refer to:

Automating Processes with Inventor Bauer's engineering needs are based on modular assembly techniques to build very dense componentry for its compressor systems. Using Autodesk Inventor as their design tool, Bauer is able to design in solids based on sheet metal or plate designs, export them to laser technology for cutting and then weld parts with the use of robotics. Avatech assisted Bauer with the process of establishing libraries of frequently used components such as filter housings or electric motors, allowing Engineers and Designers quick and easy access to components, while designing and creating assembly models. This method has enabled Bauer to develop modules and shared components -reducing part count and scrap, and dramatically increasing profits. "With the fantastic results Bauer Compressors has achieved, we have once again demonstrated that manufacturers can make huge gains in productivity and revenues by automating redundant processes and procedures," said Avatech CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization.

Continued Dwyer, "Inventor is much more than a drawing tool, it's a conduit directly to the sophisticated manufacturing technologies available to us today."
