645 SolidWorks Testimonials

“When I have that understanding, I’m able to bring that part to conclusion just so much quicker.”

“The 3DEXPERIENCE platform gave us access to SOLIDWORKS CAD, SOLIDWORKS Simulation analysis, SOLIDWORKS Visualize rendering tools, and a cloud-managed PLM [product lifecycle management] system. Our team designed, prototyped, and ultimately built the Version 2 system thanks to all of the tools provided by the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. I’m not sure if we’d have even been able to create and launch the Version 2 system with our existing design software, but if we could it would have taken at least twice as long as it did with the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.”

"Many of our product designs comprise thousands of parts, and a single roller coaster train can contain upwards of 8,000 individual components. So we needed a system that could handle large, complex assemblies. Our goals were to shorten design cycles, improve product quality, and enhance design visualization, while reducing prototype development costs."

“Our schematics layouts definitely look nicer and make a better impression with customers. We’ve added a good number of new symbols to our SOLIDWORKS Electrical Schematic database, which enables me not only to create more aesthetically pleasing schematics but also to complete them more efficiently and cost-effectively.”

“We used capabilities of SolidWorks software to help highlight design challenges in a fiberglass architectural ceiling system at The Plaza Theater in El Paso, Texas. We were able to quickly demonstrate what the adjustable acoustic ceiling system would look like from several vantage points within the theater, allowing for a quick and easy discussion of possible design enhancements for aesthetics and manufacturability. Once the design was finalized, the solid model was sent directly to our mold-maker to produce the tooling needed to produce the fiberglass panels.”

"SOLIDWORKS is simply and effectively the backbone of our designs. The Dassault Systèmes 3D solution is a necessary step in getting the exoskeleton certified and making the Wandercraft technological and human adventure an industrial reality."

“Doing documentation after the fact in a linear fashion is the old approach to development. With SOLIDWORKS Composer, we can accelerate time-tomarket by a full month.”

"I can pull up my designs on a tablet and take it to a meeting. From my phone I can run a quick simulation that’s already set up. If I want to run a simulation, I don't need the actual hardware to run it. I love the 3DEXPERIENCE platform because it allows me to do my job with my co-workers in such a fast and clean way where not only do I get my job done quicker, but I get it done better."

"We now have a consistent way of getting data in and generating accurate designs using design tables and configurations."

“We are now using the PDM software both for revision and electronic data control, which enables us to have the electronic backups needed for meeting FDA (Food and Drug Administration) requirements.”

“With SolidWorks, we brought our design time down from four months to a single month, reclaiming three months of potentially lost sales of a high-demand product. What we’ve done wouldn’t be possible without integrated CAD and simulation software for quickly iterating virtual prototypes.”

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

"With SOLIDWORKS EPDM, we can better manage design data and minimize mistakes related to working with the wrong version. By moving to SOLIDWORKS, we are growing into the design visualization, simulation, communication, documentation, and data management solutions that we need to support growth."

“The first responder market is emerging as an area of large growth for us and the productivity gains provided by SOLIDWORKS are helping us to quickly take advantage of new growth opportunities.”

"SolidWorks® CAD software and SolidWorks® product data management software have boosted productivity and support our concurrent product development activities. SolidWorks® product data management software behaves so much like SolidWorks® CAD software that our engineers picked it up immediately."
