Ellison Technologies Showcases End-to-End “Journey of the Part” Initiative, Leveraging CADchat to Unite Teams and Drive Manufacturing Innovation
Santa Fe Springs, CA – Sept 25 – Ellison Technologies has announced the successful launch of its Journey of the Part initiative, a national event series designed to showcase its unique art-to-part approach. Hosted in showrooms across the United States, the program highlights Ellison’s integrated design, engineering, and manufacturing solutions—giving customers a firsthand look at how ideas move from concept to production.
Central to this year’s Journey of the Part was CADchat, a cloud-based communication platform that served as the central hub for collaboration. CADchat brought Ellison’s designers, engineers, and manufacturing specialists together—regardless of location—enabling seamless communication, real-time design review, and rapid decision-making. This alignment allowed the team to move efficiently from ideation to delivery while staying focused on performance, cost, and manufacturability—directly benefiting customers through faster lead times, improved collaboration, and higher-quality results.

With the team connected through CADchat, Ellison leveraged its full suite of advanced technologies:
- SOLIDWORKS – 3D design and simulation software for concept modeling and virtual testing
- Markforged Additive Technologies – rapid prototyping and physical part validation
- CAMWorks – efficient toolpath generation and CAD-to-CNC integration
- DN Solutions CNC Machines – high-precision, production-ready manufacturing
- Automation Solutions – robotic automation and cobots to increase efficiency and throughput
“This initiative is about more than just making a part—it’s about living the same challenges our customers face and demonstrating how the right combination of technology, expertise, and communication can turn ideas into reality,” said Jim Broennimann, Vice President of Marketing, Ellison Technologies. “CADchat played a pivotal role in keeping our teams aligned and moving forward, which directly impacted the speed and quality of our results.”
The Journey of the Part events are hosted in Ellison Technologies’ showrooms nationwide, giving customers an interactive, hands-on experience of the company’s integrated solutions. By showcasing every stage of the manufacturing process, Ellison reinforces its position as a trusted partner for manufacturers looking to bring innovative products to market.
