645 SolidWorks Testimonials

“We employ a fully automated brewhouse, so once a recipe is dialed in, the process can be completed using equipment and instrumentation, which allows for very precise brewing, In the brewhouse, automated systems communicate accurate temperatures and times to the brewers, thereby allowing for accurate control of each brew. The use of automation on the packaging line lets us track the number of bottles and cans that make it through our facility and helps us identify areas that can be made more efficient, increasing productivity on the line.”

"SOLIDWORKS helps us work more quickly and collaborate more effectively."

"Working with SOLIDWORKS tools, we’re absolutely saving more time and money. SOLIDWORKS is the most user-friendly design tool we’ve seen and enables us to more efficiently and cost-effectively create standardized mechanical components and systems for our plants. This results in fewer errors and less rework, which saves us time and money."

“3DVIA Composer allows our engineers to capture assembly visuals from any angle they want, resulting in more clarity, better understanding, and less guesswork.”

“The response from everyone in production has been very positive. Clearly, watching an animation is more effective than leafing through a stack of paper.”

"SolidWorks CAD software enables us to use the same suite of software from the conceptual sketching phase all the way through validation, prototyping, production, and marketing."

"We’re able to develop a proposal with SOLIDWORKS, including 3D models, in a couple of hours instead of the days and weeks it took to develop proposals which did not include drawings, let alone 3D models working in 2D. The average part variance that we experienced before moving to SOLIDWORKS was 12 percent. In the first two years that we used SOLIDWORKS, our average part variance was less than half a percent. With SOLIDWORKS, we’re faster and more precise."

"In 2008, before we standardized on SOLIDWORKS, we designed and manufactured an average of two machines each year. Right now, with SOLIDWORKS, we’re producing 60 machines annually. The impact of transitioning to the integrated SOLIDWORKS 3D platform on our business and product development processes has been huge."

“With SolidWorks, we are improving quality and eliminating unnecessary costs while we stay on the cutting edge.”

“Because of this data migration to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform in the cloud, our data is more secure, downtime related to server woes has been eliminated, and we’re saving money at the same time. Our 3DEXPERIENCE subscription costs are less than the monthly fees we were paying to maintain a PDM server.”

"Because 99 percent of our products are designed in SOLIDWORKS, it’s much easier to set up all of the possible configuration combinations that are used by SOLIDWORKS Sell than with other solutions. SOLIDWORKS Sell is less costly and more affordable, and the implementation of SOLIDWORKS Sell is much smoother and easier."

"With SOLIDWORKS Premium, we can do quick deflection checks as we develop different-sized printers, so we maintain the high performance level for which we are known as we develop new products."

“I can solve a nonlinear simulation problem that used to take a week in a few hours. With that kind of speed, I can quickly optimize and deliver a design that will perform. Then, when we need to machine prototypes or final parts, our machinists save additional time. They can go backwards in the SolidWorks feature tree—to understand the jigs and fixtures required—without losing associativity and while maintaining revision control."

“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.”

“Every year, we need to update our existing product lines as well as put new products on the shelves. The pace of our product development efforts demands a flexible yet technically powerful design package.”
