“Using SOLIDWORKS Simulation tools, we can help our customers reduce weight by removing material where it isn’t needed, then send the customer the simulation report. This helps us get a design right on the first prototype, in most cases.”

“I first used SOLIDWORKS at California State University at Sacramento. The software is very intuitive, and gave us the ability to model and optimize the vehicle’s components before building them.”

“Transferring to SolidWorks was the only logical consequence to ensure that we give our students the best job prospects.”

“We use SolidWorks software in conjunction with the SigmaNEST® automatic nesting and CNC programming system to drive our router and cut our cabinets. Driving CNC machining was a big part of our original motivation to move to 3D, and it has been very successful.”

“SolidWorks product data management software has been critical in our design work. The software has enabled us to know we are always working with the most current information, and has minimized design errors related to revision control and overwriting other people’s work.”

"Because SOLIDWORKS mechanical, electrical, and electronic design tools are integrated, we completed the design without having to make a prototype and with just a single revision."

"Being able to design, optimize, simulate, visualize, document, and create tooling in a single environment significantly shortens time-to-market. SOLIDWORKS is developing a great ecosystem with their products that allow us as designers to deliver products faster."

“We immediately understood that SolidWorks Composer could help us obtain the global reach and technical credibility we needed to grow the business.”

“Without SolidWorks Composer and this animation. It would have been very hard for us to win this €700,000 contract.”

“With SOLIDWORKS Premium, I can do most of the prototyping virtually, which allows me to make changes, try different approaches, and validate all of them in software, instead of building and testing costly prototypes.”

“If we didn’t have SOLIDWORKS Plastics, we wouldn’t have as much confidence in the manufacturability of a design. It helps us avoid going back and forth with the moldmaker after the fact, which saves time and reduces costs.”

“Advantage for [ECCO] in implementing SolidWorks Plastics is the ability to understand how a part is going to behave in tooling.”

“The light bar base was the largest injected-plastic part that we have made. With SOLIDWORKS Plastics, I was able to modify the design to improve the flow of plastic in the mold. I added a large post for the injection sprue and ribs heading out from the post to serve …

"We believed that using Inventor and CADKEY software was holding us back in some respects. We were looking for a single system that was easier to use, more capable, and better suited to meeting our needs and goals and found SolidWorks CAD software."

“Thank you SOLIDWORKS for sponsoring DriveWorks World again! We’re proud of our technology and the way so many customers use SOLIDWORKS and DriveWorks together to work smarter. We look forward to you joining us at the event in April!”
