A passionate group dedicated to designing, testing, and building hybrid rockets. Their recent achievements, including winning international awards, exemplify how effective collaboration and advanced tools can propel innovation.
According to Aiden Ballard, the captain of SOAR, “Kenesto PDM has allowed SOAR to win international awards for our hybrid rockets. It allows us to collaborate effectively between nearly 100 students and, most importantly, is easy for us to set up and use.” This clarity and ease of use are crucial when working with a large team, as SOAR consists of 127 enthusiastic members, all focused on their shared passion for aerospace.
One of the standout features of Kenesto, as highlighted by SOAR, is its robust backup system. Aiden shares, “When there are nearly 100 computers all editing CAD, eventually one of them runs into a bug and files get corrupted. When this happens every few months, reverting Kenesto to a previous backup is easy and fast.” This peace of mind allows the team to concentrate on what truly matters—building their record-breaking rockets without the constant worry of data loss.
Before adopting Kenesto, SOAR faced challenges with their previous tools, having used GrabCAD, which has since been discontinued. The transition to Kenesto has transformed their workflow, enabling them to dedicate more time to innovation rather than managing files. As Aiden notes, “When we don’t have to focus on keeping files up-to-date, we can focus on building our record-breaking rockets.”
