Digital Manufacturing Lab powered by Alliant Energy

Digital Manufacturing Lab provides business owner with CAD assets

Alliant Energy customer Fred Malven of Malvenworks utilized the Digital Manufacturing Lab powered by Alliant Energy at Iowa State University’s Center for Industrial Research and Service (CIRAS).

Malvenworks has manufactured fire service hand tools since the late 1980s, but had no detailed drawings of its tool designs in production. Having those drawings would make the process easier and more efficient.

The CIRAS team translated the tool drawings into digital computer-aided design (CAD) models to create detailed drawings and help the company improve production.
