“They can use an eDrawings file to rotate the model, and we can provide them with as much information as necessary. We can also control access to the information depending on the need—such as the ability to do cutaways, apply transparency, or hide components—which makes our field operations more agile and flexible.”
“Beyond the obvious improvements for editing surface models, the combination of surfacing and parametric design capabilities in SOLIDWORKS Industrial Designer software provides greater design power because I can leverage both ways of working and utilize the approach best-suited to different parts of the design.”
“SOLIDWORKS Simulation software is helping us reduce overall weight in electric motor designs without compromising performance, which leads to greater customer satisfaction regardless of the type of application required.”
“SOLIDWORKS enables us to do more with less. The ability to convert surfaces to solids, simulate design performance, and quickly make design changes in SOLIDWORKS takes CAD to a whole new level.”
“It’s not just the ability to model anything that you can imagine in SolidWorks. It’s being able to work out in SolidWorks how to pragmatically design and build your imagination.”
"Our product is on the market and has been received very well by the anesthesiologists and operating room personnel in large part because of SolidWorks Simulatoin analysis results."
“The final assembly of our machines is about 1,500 parts. With SolidWorks software, we design subassemblies using a modular approach, such as the column assembly (10-15 parts) or the base assembly (50 parts). Most of our products are symmetrical so the mirror-imaging feature in SolidWorks software is a big plus.”
"We really liked the interference-checking feature because it enables us to check the fit and function of all the components prior to manufacture."
“Thanks to SOLIDWORKS, we were able to reduce the design time of a machine from 10 to six months. Now, the quality of our 3D designs, manufacturing drawings, technical documentation and marketing content is much more valued by our customers.”
"SolidWorks CAD software allows us to collaborate on designs efficiently and accurately with our suppliers, which reduces production times and lets us quickly begin testing the boat on the water."
“Our custom bodies and interior packages are primarily made from aluminum sheet metal. At one point we were doing DXF™ conversions to hand the design data off to manufacturing. Now, our CNC programmer can import the SolidWorks software solid model directly into his CNC programming package because the data is OLE (Object Linking and Embedding) compliant, which saves additional time, effort, and cost.”
“It’s simply faster and easier to develop products in SolidWorks, and our Marketing Department can use SolidWorks 3D templates to generate all associated product documentation.”
“We have come a long way since our founding, and SolidWorks has been an important tool for helping us develop our technology. We are satisfied with SolidWorks and will continue to use it as we work to change the way deepwater drilling is done.”
"Programming the part, defining it, generating the machine code, defining the tools, is all incredibly fast and seamless [with NC Shopfloor Programmer]. Combining traditional craftsmanship with modern manufacturing gives me an edge. You can make extremely complex products quickly, and that is essential [to remaining competitive]."
“When we needed a CAD platform for the ESTCube project, SOLIDWORKS was the obvious choice. Not only was SOLIDWORKS my preferred design solution, it was also what the students at Tartu University used. We did a lot of collaborating on this project, and SOLIDWORKS provided important advantages.”
