“Weight is our most important consideration—in terms of speed and efficiency as well as how it affects balance. With SolidWorks simulation tools, we can optimize where we can add and shave material. This allows us to reduce weight without impeding safety or performance.”
“Using the real-time collision detection capabilities, we are able to detect areas of collision and interference on the computer, and fix them before building a single prototype. In the past, we would have had to build a prototype of the whole assembly to understand the same thing, a costly and time-consuming process. Now, we do it all on the computer. That’s what I call rapid prototyping.”
“By designing parts and assemblies in SOLIDWORKS, 3D printing them, and then trying them out, we were able to iterate very quickly and launch the Reach a year ahead of schedule. We knew that we had something good, and our enthusiasm coupled with the efficiency of our design tools helped us to advance our design faster and reduce prototyping requirements on the back end.”
“With SOLIDWORKS design for manufacturability solutions, we will save time and money working with our manufacturing partners by streamlining the entire process.”
"SOLIDWORKS software has enabled us to communicate effectively, whether with manufacturers, suppliers, or industrial design partners."
“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.”
“We immediately understood that SolidWorks Composer could help us obtain the global reach and technical credibility we needed to grow the business.”
“Without SolidWorks Composer and this animation. It would have been very hard for us to win this €700,000 contract.”
"Thanks to SOLIDWORKS, our designers have moved their sketching process from paper and pencil into the digital world, enabling us to quickly visualize organic forms while still keeping them realistic.”
“The SOLIDWORKS 3D design environment has allowed us to streamline development and cut design cycles in half because we can better visualize and evaluate part designs and assemblies, and eliminate processes that are no longer necessary.”
"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 Baltur has resulted in significant co-engineering time reductions."
“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.”
“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 really liked the interference-checking feature because it enables us to check the fit and function of all the components prior to manufacture."
“In addition to creating parts and assemblies, we also design and install our own piping. Moving to SolidWorks Premium has made us more efficient. We can do all facets of our development on a single 3D platform, while combining the piping systems we develop via SolidWorks Routing software with our assembly models.”
