See Engineers Transform a Shipping Container into a Fully Functional Farm

Freight Farms is the first company to build a farm in a box (shipping container). Using SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD software to design with meticulous accuracy and quickly make modifications.

SOLIDWORKS was instrumental in helping Freight Farms engineers develop their modular “farm in a box,” which can yield produce up to 365 days a year.

WATCH THE VIDEO to see how Freight Farms uses SOLIDWORKS 3D design software to maximize freight car farming space and to understand user interaction, plant growth, and fabrication constraints.

About SOLIDWORKS Software

SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD solutions enable you and your team to quickly transform new ideas into great products. SOLIDWORKS Premium 2020 gives you powerful, easy-to-use functionality that automates tasks, streamlines workflows, and helps you quickly define and validate the form, fit, and function of your design.

Engineers can meet agriculture challenges at every stage of the development process: from conceptual and proposal development through validation and production:

• Use the same 3D model for concept development, design automation, simulation, and communication, as well as for prototype development and product manufacturing.
• Speed your system development by using modular design, systems prefabrication, as well as design reuse, automation, and configuration concepts.
• Analyze components to see if they will function properly; for example, will the components break, fatigue, deflect, or vibrate excessively?
