645 SolidWorks Testimonials

“Sustaining our creativity, innovation, and quality with this kind of growth is all about ensuring accuracy and maximizing throughput. SOLIDWORKS saves us a ton of time and money, and helps us maintain high levels of fit, finish, and quality as we grow.”

“Using SolidWorks software, we can create a mold in three weeks, and go from a napkin drawing to a CNC-machined pattern in a week.”

“The most important benefit for us is that you can save time by working simultaneously with design and documentation.”

“What i like most about solidworks flow simulation is that i can eliminate between 10 and 15 prototype cycles on each project.”

“We started using SolidWorks software when we won a job that required SolidWorks software data as the delivered CAD format. Our headquarters in Nashville, Tennessee, was already implementing the software, so we made the decision to transition to 100 percent SolidWorks 3D CAD software at our Phoenix facility.”

“The system had to be designed to operate with different feeders, conveyors, and manual assembly systems. The project also involved creating an assembly of approximately 600 components in a relatively small space, We envisioned the Viper as a robotic cell on an assembly line or as a standalone assembly station. Either way, we needed to fit the system into a tight space. We were given a 650 millimeter envelope, and had to shoehorn the system into that envelope.”

“There are several important SOLIDWORKS capabilities that help us achieve our new product development goals. We have quite a few sheet metal parts, and SOLIDWORKS sheet metal functionality saves time. The SOLIDWORKS draft analysis tool speeds up design for manufacturability [DFM] of molded parts. We also leverage SOLIDWORKS interference checking before producing prototype parts and the rendering functionality for presenting design concepts to stakeholders.”

“With Solidworks Software, I Typically Just Anticipate Where Some Functionality Should Be or How It Should Be Used, and It Works Just Like I Imagined.”

“By standardizing on SOLIDWORKS, we’ve found it much easier and faster to complete product design cycles. Modeling parts and assemblies more quickly—using mates and assembly capabilities—enables us to support greater throughput without having to add resources. With SOLIDWORKS, we can design a new slide in just three or four days.”

“The ability to quickly create and send eDrawings files to customers has been extremely helpful. We use eDrawings to highlight specific features and dimensions with customers, who can then view the model, rotate it to evaluate a design from all perspectives, and indicate requested changes or unique requirements without the need for a CAD system. This helps us refine designs well in advance of production, resulting in faster throughput and more satisfied customers.”

“SOLIDWORKS has become an invaluable tool for us. The ability to graphically design components, then stress test them without having to manufacture test rigs and prototypes saves a huge amount of time.”

"I can talk about a concept in the morning, and then use SOLIDWORKS Visualize to create and show a completely rendered image of it later that afternoon. That’s the rendering performance that our industry now not only expects but demands."

"Without SOLIDWORKS 3D modeling tools, the development cycle would have taken a lot longer, and we would not be on the cusp of production."

“Each year a significant percentage of accepted entrepreneurs are building companies focused on physical products and devices. Those start-ups rely on access to advanced design, simulation, and communication technology to speed development of their products.”

“Some of them also take advantage of SolidWorks simulation tools to test design performance, thereby reducing the number of prototypes required and reaching a final, functional prototype more efficiently. Access to SolidWorks tools enables them to compress the time required to solve problems and ultimately discover whether their ideas are viable.”
