193 Solid Edge Testimonials

"In the first year with Teamcenter, we built more than 15,000 machines in several custom designs. I am positive that we would not have managed that without the digital transformation."

“Although the design and manufacturing of a complex watch can be completed much faster than ever before using Solid Edge and advanced machine tools, there is still much time and effort required to fulfill our aesthetical ideas, In addition to the virtual 3D model of a watch, some prototypes still have to be produced to check the functions, the look and feel or to make required changes. Before batch production begins, special tools and jigs have to be designed and produced, also supported by using Solid Edge. This is necessary because the very small watch components cannot be fixed using standard tools, in most cases, both for machining and manual finishing.”

"I picked my way into Solid Edge and found more and more functionality. It was a watershed moment when I realized I could simply sketch, then extrude to create a 3D shape."

"For sure, one of the reasons that convinced us to invest in Solid Edge was the possibility to simplify and rationalize all the installation, training and assistance activities supplied to us by Siemens Digital Industries Software. We also based our choice of Solid Edge on its many technical features, which were the subject of our careful evaluation."

"With Solid Edge it is much easier to visualize connections and mountings compared to the previously used 2D software."

"In many cases, they are simply budgetary estimates, but with early simulation our confidence in these estimates is greatly improved. Early use of FEA speeds the process. Hand calculations for loadings on key structural members that could take hours in the past can be done in 20 to 30 minutes now."

“Design tasks that took six hours on a drawing board dropped to about four hours using 2D computer-aided design (CAD), and then to 15 minutes with 3D Solid Edge."

“The postprocessor performed perfectly the first time, That postprocessor was not available from Delcam.”

“My concern was to implement the software quickly enough that we did not lose too much valuable time. We managed to design our new project with Solid Edge, and could manufacture the parts on time.”

"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."

"I was not familiar with Solid Edge and was quite surprised by how well the software met our needs."

“We received really helpful and proactive support from both OnePLM and Siemens, Solid Edge is very intuitive for new users and I was able to get to work immediately designing a triple pass dryer. Solid Edge is much more flexible than the software we had before. I can relate faces to each other or constrain angles yet still manipulate a plate without losing form.”

“We purchase motors and bearings and it is much easier to fit these standard products into our machines because suppliers often give us 3D model files. We can also deliver quite detailed 3D information, such as the location of power outlets, to planning teams who are preparing a factory for one of our machines.”
