645 SolidWorks Testimonials

“Since SolidWorks software has become so standard we can export files as either SLAs or CAD models for use by our vendors and partners.”

“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.”

“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.”

"SOLIDWORKS allows us to reduce development and lead-times, as well as reduce the time required for research and development."

"Our vendors now use SolidWorks CAD software, which means they can use our 3D data eliminating the step of a 2D drawing for manufacturing the parts."

“It took us two-and-a-half years to build two mechanisms in 2D. With SolidWorks software, we built all nine mechanisms in less than two years and with fewer designers. Based on the reduction in design resources required to complete the project using SolidWorks software, we estimate that we saved $300,000 in development costs.”

“We’ve achieved significant time savings with SOLIDWORKS because it gives us the ability to push our designs through prototyping, machining, and production support.”

"SolidWorks helps us design a cooler-looking product and add features a lot faster. We're at least 40 to 50 percent faster during the design cycle."

“With the SOLIDWORKS API, we were able to give EPDM data cards their own workflows for releasing designs to manufacturing— all linked through references. We put the manufacturing due dates, type of process, routing, and even paint color in EPDM. When Engineering releases a design to Manufacturing, the system automatically and instantaneously creates the eDrawings, purchase orders, and work orders that drive production and assembly.”

“Using technology to improve the bottom line is a driving principle of Automatic Handling, as is empowering our machinists and fabricators to become part of the development process. Whether it involves leveraging the SOLIDWORKS API to support a completely digital approach to production, or using webcams, microphones, and speakers to facilitate communication between development and production personnel via videoconferencing, our goal is to find ways to work smarter and more efficiently. Our decision to standardize on SOLIDWORKS is helping us achieve that objective.”

“We use SOLIDWORKS Premium software to perform linear static stress and deflection analyses to ensure that we have a good safety factor. With SOLIDWORKS Composer, our Media Group is able to rapidly create renderings and illustrations without needing to know how to use SOLIDWORKS CAD software.”

"Everything involved with developing and releasing a product proceeds more quickly and easily on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. For example, we regularly receive customer requests for slight modifications to existing products. Before we added 3DEXPERIENCE Works solutions, processing such requests would take two to three days. Now, we can process these requests more efficiently in a single day. The product flow with 3DEXPERIENCE Works solutions is awesome for releasing a product."

“With the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, we no longer have all these email conversations for drawings released by our Indonesian colleagues, because our language now is the design language associated with the part or product model or drawing. This makes it much easier to resolve any issues and has allowed us to eliminate mistakes related to language or misunderstandings, which shortens our design cycles and contributes to improved quality overall.”

"SOLIDWORKS allowed us to design the complete vehicle, breaking it down into individual components within subassemblies while also allowing us to see how they affect each other via a main assembly. This enables us to review multiple design concepts and configurations without the need for physical prototypes."

“As we’ve expanded our product line, our boiler designs have become more complicated with many more moving mechanical parts and electrical components especially with our line of wood-pellet biomass boilers for residential use. Working in 3D with SOLIDWORKS, we’re much faster and more accurate in design, which leads to clearer, error-free designs for manufacturing.”
