“SolidWorks Composer has helped us to eliminate an irritating bottleneck in the design process. It’s not only faster to develop assembly instructions with 3DVIA Composer, but it also allows us to complete the instructions earlier in the process, both of which help us accelerate delivery to the customer.”

“Yutaka was founded as a mechatronics technology company in 1964. In 1979, it became one of the first companies in Japan to enter the field of industrial robot systems. Since then, we have evolved into a total system integrator. Our goal is to become the best in the world at …

“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 …

"What has enabled me to increase efficiency and decrease costs is the ability to evolve the design and make design changes very quickly in SOLIDWORKS."

"It’s easier and faster to develop design concepts with the 3D Creator xDesign app. ...Because SOLIDWORKS software and the 3DEXPERIENCE platform work seamlessly together, we can utilize the best solution for the job at hand, enabling engineering, the manufacturing side, and customers to collaborate from anywhere, at any time, and …

“SOLIDWORKS provided a big boost, and helped us to sustain our growth pattern through greater design productivity and flexibility.”

“Our manufacturing partners also prefer working with SOLIDWORKS data. In short, having access to SOLIDWORKS tools made the redesign of the charging station easier and more effi cient on all fronts.”

“We wanted a robust system that would survive the elements outdoors, but also an attractive station that would enhance and complement outdoor spaces. In addition to improving the station’s appearance and making it more durable, we wanted to make it easier to transport, set up, and break down, because many …

"To be successful, we needed to leapfrog the competition by developing the top-performing product on the market in a short period of time. The decision to deploy SolidWorks as our CAD platform was an important part of our strategy."

“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 …

“I’m a big believer in utilizing SOLIDWORKS certifi cation tests in the course that I teach because they challenge students to apply their knowledge. Students also leave with more than a two-year degree—they leave with certifi cation of their ability to wield a widely used tool, which in many cases …

“Not only does SOLIDWORKS 3D data integrate well with CAM software, it also saves time. The software’s so easy to learn and use, and eliminates so many repetitive, time-consuming tasks, that it’s set the stage to grow our program by encompassing both design and manufacturing functions, which will help to …

"Students will have more job opportunities by having experience with SolidWorks CAD software."
