Solid Edge

"We felt that the cost reduction in design we could achieve using Solid Edge, plus the ability to provide on-time product delivery to our clients, would enable us to enhance our reputation and get new customers. Other factors impacting selection included the depth and breadth of technology offered by Siemens Digital Industries Software and the support we saw from Siemens Digital Industries Software’s distributor/partner to understand and address our issues. With such complete 2D/3D functionality, we knew that Solid Edge would deliver unique capabilities to meet our needs."

“Using Solid Edge, I can handle the many changes and variants which occur in the design process much faster than in the past. The possibility to model parts within an assembly, as well as the integrated data management functions with Insight, offer a big advantage."

“This was not an overwhelming amount so in order to make this project happen and then transport it to the Netherlands with the entire crew, we needed additional funding. What we managed to collect was not enough. The price of photovoltaic panels was so steep that the prototype of the boat, which we built in a few months, sailed with mock panels made of plywood.”
