“To support the increased activity, we needed a 3D development platform that would enable us to tighten up development and manufacturing. By doing so, we could shorten delivery leadtimes and free up resources to go after new opportunities.”

“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.”

“There was always a demand, a need, for what I could do, and I was always interested in learning how to use new tools to meet that need. Whenever I encounter an obstacle, I don’t throw up my hands and quit, I look for a solution to the problem, which …

“SOLIDWORKS is absolutely fantastic. Not only are we controlling the design of the products but we are also controlling the manufacture.”

"Because SOLIDWORKS is a full-featured, integrated product development environment, it helps us design very quickly and competitively, thanks to an extensive range of technologies and tight integration between all of the modules that we use across the entire order lead- time. The seamless integration of all SOLIDWORKS solutions used by …

"SOLIDWORKS Composer has enabled us to quickly create professional, concise instruction sheets and videos that impress our distributors and end customers, increasing customer satisfaction With SOLIDWORKS Composer, we simply call up the 3D models, create our illustrations, and drop them in the manual."

“The ability to quickly and easily make design modifi cations in SOLIDWORKS software is an important advantage. Designing in SOLIDWORKS enables you to make all of your mistakes in the software, which saves time and money.”

“It’s very beneficial for the students to have solidworks threaded throughout the curriculum. The students have become so proficient with solidworks that we’ve included the certified solidworks associate certification test as part of our final exam.”

“With SolidWorks, students can undertake more substantial projects, SolidWorks helps students make intelligent decisions more quickly and accurately, and complete projects with a level of detail, refinement, and consistency that we haven’t seen before.”

“With SolidWorks, students get a real jump start on industry tools and methodologies, SolidWorks serves as both a learning interface and a tool. The software’s incredibly intuitive and establishes a more practical, parametric paradigm for thinking about design.”

“To cover more ground and bett er prepare students for work in industry, we sought to tie in our Foundations class with the courses that follow, We wanted to give students the necessary tools to not only visualize a design but also communicate with engineers and work with manufacturing techniques …

“With SOLIDWORKS software, designing a machine is easier, faster, and more accurate than in the past. We can try new approaches that were just not possible working in 2D. This has helped us become more cost effective in product development because we can continue to work with and reuse our …

"We now have a consistent way of getting data in and generating accurate designs using design tables and configurations."

“We are now using the PDM software both for revision and electronic data control, which enables us to have the electronic backups needed for meeting FDA (Food and Drug Administration) requirements.”

"Using SOLIDWORKS software, we are able to quickly develop and deliver systems that meet and exceed customer requirements. SOLIDWORKS is so easy to use that it hardly requires training, which contributed to our smooth transition and success with the software.”
