"Using the simulation capabilities of SolidWorks Premium, we can do more prototyping in software and produce fewer physical prototypes."

"The technologies are very effective for analyzing any temperature-dependent, closed system in which internal and surface temperatures are both of interest."

“This was the first major project that I completed in SolidWorks software. After using this software, I would never go back to anything else.”

"Due to our success in increasing efficiencies using the SOLIDWORKS platform, we’ve now made it mandatory for all of our designers to pass either the Certified SOLIDWORKS Professional [CSWP] or Certified SOLIDWORKS Expert [CSWE] exam. We made these certifications a requirement because we believe we can increase efficiency further by …

“With SOLIDWORKS software, designing a machine is easier, faster, and more accurate than in the past. We can try new approaches that were just not possible working in 2D. This has helped us become more cost effective in product development because we can continue to work with and reuse our …

"SOLIDWORKS surfacing and large assembly design tools have allowed us not only to design faster."

“We prefer to reuse designs whenever possible to reduce our design times and costs. With SOLIDWORKS Enterprise PDM’s search capability, it’s easy to find an existing design, using an attribute like material, size, or function.”

“With PDM, we are able to do more with our existing resources. If we didn’t have PDM, I don’t think we’d be able to support our current throughput while maintaining quality control. PDM lets us produce systems quickly while making sure that they’re fabricated correctly.”

“Now we are able to apply new ideas to designing a completely efficient compact feed mill without all the trial and error of making prototypes.”

“The corner treatment of weldments is truly awesome, because it gives us a clear idea of the joints.”

“Our weapon’s brushless motor was designed to only run sensorless, so I used SOLIDWORKS PCB to develop our own sensor board, which resulted in a 60 percent reduction in our motor’s spin-up time. I was able to develop the first version of our sensor board in less than a week …

“While SOLIDWORKS Simulation tools are helping us optimize our robot designs for strength and weight, SOLIDWORKS Visualize rendering capabilities allow us to improve the robot’s appearance. Creating a fighting robot that looks good is a part of our team dynamic and aesthetic. The robot design has to be unique, interesting-looking …

“We improve our robot every year, For example, we used SOLIDWORKS multi-body sheet-metal tools to develop the rib cage, a signature Witch Doctor trait. We came up with roughly 20 ways to do the ribs before settling on our final version. With SOLIDWORKS, we can iterate quickly and continue to …

“Solidworks Industrial Designer software provides all of the capabilities of other sketching and surfacing packages without their limitations. The software has allowed us to cut design time by 60 percent, which gives us time to create more concepts.”

“With Alias and Rhino, changing the surfacing geometry to resolve performance or manufacturability issues meant we had to redo a lot of work. We’d have to start over, create new surfacing geometry that reflected the design change, and then bring the new surface geometry into SOLIDWORKS. We kept looking for …
