“We have shortened time to market partly thanks to SolidWorks eDrawings and rendered 3D models that help us communicate design ideas internally and externally with clients.”
"We can pre-route the wires digitally [in SOLIDWORKS] and go around any sharps or dangerous components. It really helps us plan our production and our material use for each vehicle."
“SolidWorks software has enabled an incredible improvement in our final products in terms of detail, quality, and flexibility.”
“We needed a seamless, paperless concurrent design approach, and considering the time frame and scale of the effort, there was no CAD system other than SOLIDWORKS software, that would have enabled us to succeed.”
“With SOLIDWORKS and Stratasys solutions, we’re simply faster, especially for specialized tooling applications.”
“The combination of Solidworks design and simulation tools enabled us to make the best choices for functional efficiency of equipment as well as manufacturing.”
“This is a new field for us, and we are still learning the powers of the software. We received training at our reseller, Cadware, which helped us to understand the importance of model preparation. We rely more and more on SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation for new studies.”
“Using 3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS, we can access a detailed 3D CAD model of the van we’re converting, allowing us to design precise and perfectly fitting parts.”
“DELMIA CAM [Machining] has enhanced our manufacturing capabilities to produce precise parts. DELMIA has also enhanced the way that we nest files and produce parts, and has reduced turnaround cycles and the risk of errors because we can now not only nest but efficiently make changes to the nesting before cutting. This is a big change and improvement.”
“3DEXPERIENCE Works data management capabilities enable us to more easily assign the projects to the designers, track the progress of the assigned tasks, and maintain revision control and related drawing changes. We have multiple units and vendors in different locations; hence the 3DEXPERIENCE platform is critical for managing our data while designers access design files and collaborate from all of our locations. This data management solution also reduces IT overhead in terms of adding servers and their maintenance because it is hardwareindependent and operates in the cloud.”
“The SOLIDWORKS 3D design environment has allowed us to streamline development and cut design cycles in half because we can better visualize and evaluate part designs and assemblies, and eliminate processes that are no longer necessary.”
“What Sigmund is really doing is orchestrating product development. Opinions too often set product directions, but objective data trumps opinion. We can now say, ‘Here are designs A, B, and C and the accompanying Sigmund studies. As you can see, Design B won’t meet the objective, so you’ve got to relax your quality standard or pick between A or C.’ With objective data, there’s nothing to argue about.”
“With SOLIDWORKS Electrical 3D, we are better positioned to develop our next generation of optimized systems. It’s helping us improve margins and reduce customer costs, which allows us to maintain and manage our dramatic business growth.”
“For example, locating solid-state electrical devices in a confined space generates heat. By having all design domains on one platform, we can simulate heat flow inside the cabinet by bringing in the thermal effects of electronic components and satisfy demands for miniaturization while maintaining the high levels of quality for which we are known.”
“The integration of SolidWorks Simulation is a big advantage for us. It allows us to use stress analysis and dynamics to really go after the performance of our coupler and braking systems. We have realized improvements in quality, and can attribute the extended wear we have designed into our systems to the greater number of stress analyses that we perform.”
