“We were particularly interested in how SolidWorks software handled large assemblies, which are used heavily in the development of our coolant filtration and swarf handling systems."

"From incoming part lots to in-process assembly inspections, SOLIDWORKS Inspection software helps us catch more unacceptable parts and eliminate assembly issues."

"SOLIDWORKS surfacing and large assembly design tools have allowed us not only to design faster."

“We made the decision to standardize on SolidWorks Enterprise PDM corporationwide two years ago. One of the obvious benefits of the system is that we can now collaborate with other groups across OYSTAR. However, SolidWorks Enterprise PDM also helps us work more efficiently within our group. If we need a …

"While we initially thought our reasons for moving away from Inventor involved data management and support, we discovered that we were also short on capabilities."

“We have to design our tools to resonate at a certain frequency. Given the fact that customer parts are becoming more complex—both in terms of shape and surfaces—conducting modal analyses while we design is the only practical means for getting it right.”

“By standardizing on SOLIDWORKS, we’ve found it much easier and faster to complete product design cycles. Modeling parts and assemblies more quickly—using mates and assembly capabilities—enables us to support greater throughput without having to add resources. With SOLIDWORKS, we can design a new slide in just three or four days.”

“The ability to quickly create and send eDrawings files to customers has been extremely helpful. We use eDrawings to highlight specific features and dimensions with customers, who can then view the model, rotate it to evaluate a design from all perspectives, and indicate requested changes or unique requirements without the …

“We can choose a different view of the product as its design progresses and incorporate this content in our documentation.”

“Using SOLIDWORKS FEA and CFD analysis capabilities, we can conduct 10 virtual tests on 10 different design options in one month. Doing the same thing with actual tests—the way we used to do it—would take at least three months and tens of thousands of euros. We have shortened our prototyping/testing …

“Since we switched to SOLIDWORKS, we have been able to come up with unique and competitive solutions. We create designs, their documentation, and simulations using a single application. Our company’s top priorities include high-quality products, high-end technology, professionalism, and rapid growth. SOLIDWORKS helps us accomplish these priorities and develop new …

"To be successful, we needed to leapfrog the competition by developing the top-performing product on the market in a short period of time. The decision to deploy SolidWorks as our CAD platform was an important part of our strategy."

“We can easily save our SolidWorks software 3D models as STL files for quick 3D printing on the Z Corporation 3D printer or any rapid prototyping device.”

"It’s inspiring to see what can be done with something the world has always received as a basic black box."

“We do a lot of sketches and a lot of 3D concept prototypes. It’s critical to get the design on the screen with SolidWorks software and then off the screen in three tangible dimensions as a 3D printed model.”
