“We now worry about 25 parameters, such as shaft length, diameter, and flange size, instead of 250, and the constraints in TactonWorks and SOLIDWORKS software take care of the rest.”
“Because of the efficiencies we’ve gained using SolidWorks solutions, we now demand that all Moog Quickset vendors have SolidWorks in order to work with us.”
“Solidworks was simply the best solution for introducing 3D design across Brudden.”
"With SolidWorks, we can create a model once and use design tables to create several different-sized configurations automatically."
“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.”
"We make great use of design configurations in SolidWorks to facilitate design reuse and quickly create component designs of different lengths, heights, and travel times."
“We’re at least three months faster than everyone else. In addition to offering shorter delivery times, the fact that we’re model-based means that we can show customers what we are doing and how the pump will work. Clearly, SolidWorks gives us a competitive advantage.”
“I’m setting up and modifying the test pad to replicate each customer’s conditions. With SolidWorks, I can bring the pump model into the test pad model and see where I have to make changes or create tooling. I have to make sure that it all works when we test the pump, and SolidWorks enables us to do that in a way that saves time and money.”
“Our exploded views used to look like a giant spider web. With solidworks composer, we have dramatically cleaned them up and sharpened the image.”
“Our management quickly understood what this so ware could do for us—not only in solving the diffi culties with our parts manuals, but also in addressing other areas of the business. They realized that this application would allow us to run into the future by making a quantum leap in our ability to communicate and leverage design information.”
“Creating assembly instructions with SolidWorks Composer is as simple as taking a completed assembly apart and inverting the process. Operators can pause the video, spin it around to change the view, and identify part numbers by moving the mouse over the part. Simply put, the so ware’s going to make us faster and be er at assembling quality products.”
"Now we can go from a napkin-drawn concept to a prototype in just 12 weeks compared to six months before implementing a PDM system – and with a far higher degree of accuracy."
“The 3DEXPERIENCE platform gave us access to SOLIDWORKS CAD, SOLIDWORKS Simulation analysis, SOLIDWORKS Visualize rendering tools, and a cloud-managed PLM [product lifecycle management] system. Our team designed, prototyped, and ultimately built the Version 2 system thanks to all of the tools provided by the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. I’m not sure if we’d have even been able to create and launch the Version 2 system with our existing design software, but if we could it would have taken at least twice as long as it did with the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.”
“We chose SolidWorks Premium software because CAD-integrated simulation is more efficient and better for incorporating results as part of design.”
“It’s easy to make design changes and samples with SolidWorks software. The improved design visualization helps us to investigate how a change will impact the product. This helps us improve quality and better prepare for testing, while saving time and money.”
