FEFA kiosk division The Kiosk Factory completes third and fourth deliveries of plant floor documentation and drawing access systems for Ontario’s Nuclear Power Utility The Kiosk Factory continues to deliver specification-grade plant-floor database access units to North America 's largest nuclear generating operator. The MPK system of kiosk fabrication details and careful attention to human factors design ensures that these units have been accepted for use on the plant floor.

The Kiosk Factory upgrades CAD systems to improve productivity and accuracy- July 2004  With an additional investment of $35,000 in equipment and software The Kiosk Factory is now running multiple SolidWorks solid modeling software seats. The first project run through the new system was the shop drawing and rendering of the Tall Boy 2004 kiosks. The attached drawing of the Tall Boy 2004 with the integral SolidWorks eDrawing viewer demonstrates the capabilities of this technology. To view of the sample drawings download “Tall Boy 2004” and open it.
The use of the SolidWorks solid modeling platform allows Feature Factory to create stunningly accurate renderings and issue fully navigable 3-D shop drawings, flattened .dxf part cutting files and 3-D pattern machining files. Using the eDrawing viewer, customers and suppliers can section the drawing, suppress components and even re-arrange components before returning the drawing with com ments.
