“The final assembly of our machines is about 1,500 parts. With SolidWorks software, we design subassemblies using a modular approach, such as the column assembly (10-15 parts) or the base assembly (50 parts). Most of our products are symmetrical so the mirror-imaging feature in SolidWorks software is a big plus.”

“We started Switchmate to design a smart light switch that is super simple to set up and that makes everyday life a little bit easier. Users just snap it on over an existing light switch, and then use the app to turn the lights on or off, or control anything …

“The video animations and rendered images that we create in SOLIDWORKS Visualize software also make a huge difference when presenting our vehicle and ideas to prospective clients.”

"SOLIDWORKS is critical to the way we handle development. Because I have the boating knowledge and my collaborators understand mechanical design, SOLIDWORKS serves as the conduit for bringing both types of expertise together to create the best products that we can. With SOLIDWORKS, I can review each design iteration, offer …

"Moving to SOLIDWORKS enabled us to ramp up development, which allowed us to get product on the road more quickly."

"SolidWorks® CAD software usage has spread within the company, even with almost no in-company training. We created rules on how to apply SolidWorks® CAD software for product design and have found that self-study by our engineers, through the user manual and tutorials, is sufficient for supporting our CAD operations."

“SOLIDWORKS Simulation Premium software really helped us address a range of structural issues related to reducing weight while maintaining structural integrity and safety. We ran lots of optimization loops to take mass out of the vehicle. The SOLIDWORKS analysis tools enabled us to reach a design that is lighter, stronger, …

“Parts of our bike required numerous iterations and microiterations. Doing our testing virtually with SOLIDWORKS simulation literally saved hundreds of part prototypes and one or two complete prototype builds.”

“Last season, we were over weight by four pounds and had to cut away sacrificial pieces to make weight. With SOLIDWORKS topology optimization tools, we learn where we can cut material and weight that not only doesn’t sacrifice strength and stiffness but actually improves both. We’ve cut five pounds from …

“The way that we work with SOLIDWORKS in developing each season’s robot is to have Mike work on the overall design and have other team members contribute their specific part of the robot. We work remotely, so we’ll share our screen with other members of the team and conduct a …

“Solidworks is perfect for our molding work. And because Solidworks products are used in various departments within the business, there are no interdepartmental difficulties. Any technical queries are answered quickly by the Armada Yazilim staff as we produce our designs.”

“By enabling us to simulate and accurately predict how structural and kinematic design behavior will affect performance, SOLIDWORKS Simulation and SOLIDWORKS Motion software provide significant advantages in terms of a better project quality, which means that we produce better-performing and more reliable equipment.”

“The more time we save, the better. SolidWorks software has proven to be a good tool for helping us do that.”

"What really sold me on SOLIDWORKS Visualize software was the ‘glass’ quality—how real it makes glass bottles look. We do a lot with glass and plastics, and we need a tool that provides the most photorealistic images possible. With the other packages, the glass quality was really not there, so …

"SOLIDWORKS empowers you to consider manufacturing throughout your design process. That really makes the transition from concept to production seamless."
