"For VMI, the development of SolidWorks Electrical is the most important SolidWorks innovation. Each of our machines is based on a combination of mechanical and electrotechnical components. That combination is exactly what SolidWorks Electrical is designed to do: to facilitate interaction between these two disciplines."
"With the integrated SOLIDWORKS electronic design ecosystem, we developed and launched the Leader TWIN in record time."
“The purpose of the project was to demonstrate that we can conceive, develop, and execute complex systems and get them out quickly. We basically built a UAV in a week and a half, and SolidWorks played a major role in that effort. Because of this project, we’re now developing a full 25-pound UAV with a 10-foot wingspan. SolidWorks software enables us to rapidly design and build UAVs.”
“Some of them also take advantage of SolidWorks simulation tools to test design performance, thereby reducing the number of prototypes required and reaching a final, functional prototype more efficiently. Access to SolidWorks tools enables them to compress the time required to solve problems and ultimately discover whether their ideas are viable.”
“We both come from families of blue-collar workers, and my father passed away from a heart attack on a construction site."
“We needed to be able to handle any brand of helmet while increasing machine capacity to 36 helmets to satisfy ridership demands. Using SolidWorks software, we were able to develop the sophisticated internal helmet delivery mechanisms and assemblies required to meet our goals.”
“Our high-end home music reproduction systems are designed, engineered, and built by people who care about lifestyle, music, the environment, quality, fairness, and the trust that we’ve earned over the last 40 years.”
"SOLIDWORKS saves time whenever we need to customize a chassis or fabricate sheet metal, which happens whenever we’re working on a new line."
“With just two hours of training on how to use 3DVIA Composer, we were able to create section and detail drawings and disassembly and assembly procedure animations, creating effective presentations in a short amount of time to win the order for this project.”
“SOLIDWORKS is an incredible tool. Just as the saying goes – ‘necessity is the mother of invention’, SOLIDWORKS is a necessity for design.”
“Most of our business is based on custom development of mill relining systems. Each grinding mill is different and requires a custom, one-off design. However, we believed that 3D would ultimately let us utilize a range of standard components, configurations, and subassemblies, and that eventually we would be able to further automate the design and configuration of each system. Moving to 3D would allow us to speed up turnaround on proposal development, design, production, and assembly."
“With SOLIDWORKS solutions, we’ve grown from a project-based company into a production company.”
“Our analytical studies enabled us to eliminate five prototypes, at $50,000 each, and to cut approximately two months from the prototyping process.”
"When we receive an order, COUNTERPART opens SOLIDWORKS and directly synchronizes the parts required for the specifi c confi guration with our other functions, including procurement, inventory management, and manufacturing operations. It generates purchase orders, work orders for our plasma table, and cut lengths for piping. A majority of our employees use the system daily and have their own task lists to perform. The SOLIDWORKS/COUNTERPART solution is helping us grow the company by keeping everyone in sync."
“The combination of Solidworks design and simulation tools enabled us to make the best choices for functional efficiency of equipment as well as manufacturing.”
