645 SolidWorks Testimonials

“This project let us design innovative, patented processes such as the motor systems allowing 144 canvas sections to be unfolded and then stored away in enclosures, plus the mechanical strap system that partially releases the canvas in the event of exceptional gusts of wind, This has been a major challenge for SDEI Ouest as it has occupied more than half of our teams. But it has been a resounding success, thanks in part to the SolidWorks solutions from Dassault Systèmes and to our own expertise. A world first that has given us a reputation to match the challenge.”

“With the [SolidWorks Enterprise] PDM system, all of our plants run differently and more efficiently.”

“The company operated without an official CAD system until 2011. While that effort certainly advanced the early-generation concepts, it was difficult and time consuming to work that way, especially as the design team grew. We needed a CAD system to support visualization and simulation in lieu of heavy prototyping, and to help us streamline the development process ahead of manufacturing our first products.”

“On the new vehicle, SOLDIWORKS has done a tremendous job helping me maintain the master assembly file. The Mate tools provide great flexibility for piecing together the design, virtual parts are incredibly easy to work with when creating the initial concepts, and the feature tree and configuration manager make it easy to stay organized and keep the file at a size where it is manageable for my computer.”

"SolidWorks helps us design a cooler-looking product and add features a lot faster. We're at least 40 to 50 percent faster during the design cycle."

“We prefer to reuse designs whenever possible to reduce our design times and costs. With SOLIDWORKS Enterprise PDM’s search capability, it’s easy to find an existing design, using an attribute like material, size, or function.”

“With PDM, we are able to do more with our existing resources. If we didn’t have PDM, I don’t think we’d be able to support our current throughput while maintaining quality control. PDM lets us produce systems quickly while making sure that they’re fabricated correctly.”

"With SOLIDWORKS solutions, our small team can develop new concepts quickly and prove them on the steep, bendy slope of Pike’s Peak, allowing us to redefine what a high-performance automobile can be."

“Our goal is not to take away jobs. Electricians and other workers know where they need to go, we want to get them there safer and easier The opportunity is to bring smart, robotic tools to every work truck by significantly driving down the price of robotics where the average service robot costs about $50,000.”

“We had a high confidence level that the concept would work because we had run motion simulations in SolidWorks. When we built the system, it functioned exactly as we had envisioned.”

"It was easy to transition from AutoCAD to SolidWorks."

"Our vendors now use SolidWorks CAD software, which means they can use our 3D data eliminating the step of a 2D drawing for manufacturing the parts."

“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.”

"SOLIDWORKS software is ideally suited to the type of products that we design and manufacture."

“SOLIDWORKS provided a big boost, and helped us to sustain our growth pattern through greater design productivity and flexibility.”
