“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.”
"Solid Edge was attractive to us because of its simplicity and intuitive user interface, its well thought-out 2D functions, and its interface to our previous CAD system, which allowed the seamless transfer of all the drawings to the new system."
“For the technical division, Solid Edge is a very intuitive solution that greatly facilitates its work, above all thanks to synchronous technology.”
"The Solid Edge platform has brought us new design options, making our development more efficient and our products more desirable."
"We’ve found that Solid Edge enables us to do a much more detailed design than was possible in the past. In addition to the core product, we use several add-ons that really help us, including for sheet metal design, piping and simulation. We try to design by including every detail, such as fasteners, to exclude delays in the production process due to design errors."
"We’ve found that using Solid Edge with synchronous technology enables us to dramatically accelerate our entire product development operation compared to the CAD software we were using. Using synchronous technology is not only better and faster for editing a design, but also for new product development as well."
“We wanted a program that was reasonably priced and, at the same time, powerful enough, Solid Edge was the solution we were looking for in terms of the best price-performance ratio. In addition, Solid Edge was the easiest solution for transferring our existing I-deas database, which was a big deciding factor for us.”
"Siemens Digital Industries Software is putting a lot into improving Solid Edge, to the point where they have even come here to find out how they can make the software better meet our needs."
"What really attracts us is the independent core technology embedded in Solid Edge, which enables us to keep up with technology advancements and guarantee investment returns for users. Although an easy-to-use interface is appealing to users, it’s not easy to stay current if the software’s core technology is proprietary, which can lead to problems and thus cause us to fall behind in our work."
"Unlike machinery, the design of lighting products does not involve too many parts, so 3D software is mainly used to make drawings, and not much analysis work is involved."
"Solid Edge CAM Pro provides many tooling methods that enable us to make better and subtler engravings more quickly compared to previous tools."
"The simple collision detections show immediately which changes still have to be incorporated so that components can be used in as many variants as possible."
"With Solid Edge, we are easily finding successful product ideas together, which we are able to implement efficiently."
“The other issue that our company faces is ‘usage.’ Solid Edge is a very effective program that is easy to learn and use, providing great convenience to users for direct construction. New designers that join the team can learn and use Solid Edge easily and can be productive almost immediately.”
"Solid Edge gives us the accuracy we need, and as a new user I found it very intuitive. It is easy to learn through trial and error."
