"SolidWorks has allowed us to take our operation to the next level. We compete against very large corporations, but with SolidWorks we develop winning proposals and install systems that outperform the competition."

“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 …

“Yutaka was founded as a mechatronics technology company in 1964. In 1979, it became one of the first companies in Japan to enter the field of industrial robot systems. Since then, we have evolved into a total system integrator. Our goal is to become the best in the world at …

“Since SolidWorks software has become so standard we can export files as either SLAs or CAD models for use by our vendors and partners.”

“Solidworks software lets us be more agile, flexible, and innovative. From an engineering standpoint, we couldn’t do what we do today without Solidworks software.”

“Solidworks Industrial Designer software provides all of the capabilities of other sketching and surfacing packages without their limitations. The software has allowed us to cut design time by 60 percent, which gives us time to create more concepts.”

“With Alias and Rhino, changing the surfacing geometry to resolve performance or manufacturability issues meant we had to redo a lot of work. We’d have to start over, create new surfacing geometry that reflected the design change, and then bring the new surface geometry into SOLIDWORKS. We kept looking for …

“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.”

“With SolidWorks eDrawings® and the Standalone Client, everyone can review an assembly and burrow down to the component level. This access enhances collaboration with employees across the organization, whose input forms the basis of our products.”

“We chose SOLIDWORKS because dollar for dollar, it’s the best 3D CAD out there. When you consider the additional integrated solutions like Electrical and PDM, we get the most bang for our buck with the SOLIDWORKS development environment.”

“While we buy all of our robots from ABB, the robots represent just one part of our custom automation systems. We add value by using the robots to invent new manufacturing processes through the design, fabrication and installation of all of the ancillary equipment, mechanical controls, interface tools and operational …

“There was always a demand, a need, for what I could do, and I was always interested in learning how to use new tools to meet that need. Whenever I encounter an obstacle, I don’t throw up my hands and quit, I look for a solution to the problem, which …

"I was attracted to SolidWorks because I felt that using a feature-based parametric platform would be the most productive way to get my job done."

"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.”
