"It’s inspiring to see what can be done with something the world has always received as a basic black box."

"Using SOLIDWORKS, students can focus more on the design and engineering and less on the tool. UNH Precision Racing comprises several subteams—frame, suspension, electronics, controls, and the aerodynamics and SOLIDWORKS software better facilitates interdisciplinary collaboration and communication. The team wouldn’t be able to build the quality of cars they’ve produced …

“With SolidWorks software, the back-and-forth between industrial design and engineering takes 30 percent less time, which translates into a shorter overall development cycle and faster time-to-market for our clients.”

“Our analytical studies enabled us to eliminate five prototypes, at $50,000 each, and to cut approximately two months from the prototyping process.”

"With SOLIDWORKS Premium, we can do quick deflection checks as we develop different-sized printers, so we maintain the high performance level for which we are known as we develop new products."

"SolidWorks is simple to use and facilitates communications and discussions with external designers."

“In our business, the best measure of efficiency is the ability to create custom parts and assemblies that fit together correctly the first time. SOLIDWORKS greatly increases the odds that we consistently achieve that goal, not just during initial assembly but also whenever we need to produce replacement parts for …

“Our machines can have as many as 15,000 parts, including up to 9,000 discrete one-offs. The ability to model these parts in 3D and to make sure that we consistently assemble the machines without problems is a big plus. SOLIDWORKS helps us to keep both our assembly and component costs …

“With SOLIDWORKS Electrical 3D, we are better positioned to develop our next generation of optimized systems. It’s helping us improve margins and reduce customer costs, which allows us to maintain and manage our dramatic business growth.”

“For example, locating solid-state electrical devices in a confined space generates heat. By having all design domains on one platform, we can simulate heat flow inside the cabinet by bringing in the thermal effects of electronic components and satisfy demands for miniaturization while maintaining the high levels of quality for …

"The 3DEXPERIENCE platform really helps out not just with collaboration from team member to team member, but also with tools like xShape. Now we have [a 3DEXPERIENCE Works tool with] SubD modeling that is actually dimensionable, it is so useful."

"SolidWorks CAD software has the most solid business experience in actual production settings. Because we wanted to use 3D data at more points in our development process, we chose the system with the most momentum, knowing that it would produce additional opportunities for integration."

"The Speed and Ease of Iterations in Solidworks Software Result in Greater Innovation.”

“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.”
