645 SolidWorks Testimonials

“Fulfilling the promise of solar energy requires modules that last longer and can be used anywhere. We tasked our engineers to use whatever tools were necessary to overcome lifecycle and durability challenges quickly and efficiently.”

“By gaining a better understanding of the physics involved, we developed a more efficient system. Simulation capabilities provide a huge benefit and give us a real competitive advantage.”

“We use SOLIDWORKS and CircuitWorks to pull in board designs and clearly communicate information back and forth. With this capability, we can more efficiently pinpoint issues and effectively relay information back to our electrical engineers.”

“Typically you would get in, measure it, get out, and fit a piece. Instead Parsons got in the vehicle and did a 3D scan of the inside of the chassis, and imported that data file into SOLIDWORKS. Then we build the roll cage around that 3D model that we scanned. Everything in the software just helps save time, and you can create a whole product that you can pretty much see if it’ll work before you even make it.”

"Using SOLIDWORKS Industrial Designer on the infant and child safety project, I was able to focus on the design aesthetic while simultaneously addressing mass and volume concerns. The product is designed for travel so it needs to be with the child and parent most of the time, so creating a design that would be as light and compact as possible was an important consideration during industrial design."

“The improvements we have made enable us to do more research and development into how we can apply our core expertise in other areas. Working in 3D also has enhanced our ability to visualize and develop new concepts, and then show them to potential customers. This allows us to stimulate interest and secure business without having to make significant capital investments up front.”

“We can now produce more hockey board systems more efficiently with the same amount of staff and virtually no overtime, all of which sets us apart in the industry. Our sales go up year after year, and our lean manufacturing operation allows us to control costs and grow the business. We estimate that we now have 35 to 40 percent of the Canadian market, and 22 of the 30 arenas in the NHL have our board systems installed.”

“With the design configuration tools found in SOLIDWORKS software, we create one design for each model and use configurations to account for different foil lengths and available options and accessories. The software has helped us to grow our product line and boost throughput.”

“Using SOLIDWORKS Industrial Designer software, Studio Gecchelin can leverage a robust sketching and freeform, sub-D modeling application to create innovative industrial designs while simultaneously collaborating more effectively with engineers to refine industrial design concepts for production.”

“I was debating on getting an entrepreneurship minor or starting my own company. I decided to make the leap. Starting a company is you putting yourself out there. If you have an idea, go for it. You can’t be too worried about not having it too perfect or ready. If you think it’s going to make a difference, put your idea out there. I wouldn’t be in this spot with my company if I didn’t take that chance.”

“Since we first implemented SOLIDWORKS PDM Professional software, we’ve developed several methods for pulling design data out of the PDM system and using it for other purposes [ERP]. By leveraging our PDM and ERP systems in this manner, we are able to provide a window into the precise status of any part, assembly or project, at any time in the process.”

“Since implementing PDM, we have the foundation in place that we need to automate our processes, eliminate waste, and remove unnecessary costs. SOLIDWORKS Enterprise PDM has allowed us to really ramp up.”

"Our product is on the market and has been received very well by the anesthesiologists and operating room personnel in large part because of SolidWorks Simulatoin analysis results."

“With SolidWorks, we can model something up in a fraction of the time of other packages, use integrated simulation tools to make sure that the design can withstand adverse conditions, and use PhotoView 360 to show the system in photorealistic detail. SolidWorks lets us simultaneously create, test, build, and demonstrate designs, which results in faster deployment.”

“The purpose of the project was to demonstrate that we can conceive, develop, and execute complex systems and get them out quickly. We basically built a UAV in a week and a half, and SolidWorks played a major role in that effort. Because of this project, we’re now developing a full 25-pound UAV with a 10-foot wingspan. SolidWorks software enables us to rapidly design and build UAVs.”
