Interesting - thanks! This is a field that is hard to keep up with if one is not using the tools personally. One thing I did not sense in the video was any ability to apply engineering tools to the designs eg. stress and failure testing - it all seems very visual in the sense of design-to-build process. OTOH in a Caterham type car maybe this is just not needed....

Nice! I've been working with solidworks for a few years in the past, but never to this sophisticated level.
I think the big advantages come into play when you integrate everything and use all features possible (for example hook your designer's systems up to both warehouse and shopfloor; designer designs a part, the warehouse gets a message to not order new components of the old version, the shopfloor gets a message to manufacture new components of the new version, etc.), but this is often next to impossible to incorporate in existing companies with existing systems. It's impressive to see a company where it does seem to work like that. Thanks for the link Mike!
