“Transferring to SolidWorks was the only logical consequence to ensure that we give our students the best job prospects.”

“The more time we save, the better. SolidWorks software has proven to be a good tool for helping us do that.”

“Designing six products over five years, bringing them to life, selling hundreds of products, winning international awards, and participating in trade fairs was challenging. SOLIDWORKS was indeed one of our most essential tools. We combine the highest performance machines with aesthetic design and confidently continue on our road to becoming a global brand.”

“SolidWorks software helped us deliver quickly on an important product that could easily have taken two years to build. SolidWorks software gave everyone involved a clear picture of what we were working on and working toward—and kept us moving fast.”

“SolidWorks software has become the conduit through which we have established valuable partnerships with local manufacturers. Whether our students intend to immediately enter the workforce or go on to the university, this kind of handson experience is increasingly relevant and important for their future prospects.”

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

“Some were good, some were bad, but none was even close to perfect. The trickiest part is easily the knob, which is crucial for performance. We wanted our knob design to start with the best qualities of what already existed and then reflect our innovations.”

“NextEngine and SolidWorks software are both powerful tools that are surprisingly easy to use, and they work well together. The scanner is very reliable, and the scanning setup can be wickedly fast. In this case, I just teed it up on the AutoDrive part positioner and started shooting. Since SolidWorks software is parametric, every tweak to the model was relatively simple, and dependent dimensions and features all changed automatically. I’ve used and taught a number of CAD programs in the past, but I always come back to SolidWorks software, because it lets me and my students focus on the design, not on learning software.”

“The level of automation that we have been able to achieve via SQL integrations with SOLIDWORKS Electrical has allowed us to save significant amounts of time. Our designers report drawing speed increases ranging from 25 to 50 percent, and a detailed look at our projects over a five-year period revealed that we are saving an average of 2,033 man-hours per year.”

“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.”

“This challenge becomes increasingly difficult when developing complicated movement. SolidWorks software not only allows us to visualize individual components but also to simulate the motion of components and mechanisms, so we can avoid interference errors.”

"Before we implemented SOLIDWORKS Electrical software, there were two different workflows and two separate bills of materials (BOMs) for electrical and mechanical design. Now, we have a single platform, one workflow, and a unified BOM for everyone, which results in fewer mistakes and misunderstandings and greater attention to the overall branding aspects of how our machines look and operate on the factory floor."

“Last season, we were over weight by four pounds and had to cut away sacrificial pieces to make weight. With SOLIDWORKS topology optimization tools, we learn where we can cut material and weight that not only doesn’t sacrifice strength and stiffness but actually improves both. We’ve cut five pounds from our current design while strengthening the robot in key areas.”

“The way that we work with SOLIDWORKS in developing each season’s robot is to have Mike work on the overall design and have other team members contribute their specific part of the robot. We work remotely, so we’ll share our screen with other members of the team and conduct a bunch of design reviews to continually refine our design.”
