“Because of the efficiencies we’ve gained using SolidWorks solutions, we now demand that all Moog Quickset vendors have SolidWorks in order to work with us.”
"SolidWorks® CAD software and SolidWorks® product data management software have boosted productivity and support our concurrent product development activities. SolidWorks® product data management software behaves so much like SolidWorks® CAD software that our engineers picked it up immediately."
“Weight is a critical design issue. While a mechanical engineer is interested in structural stresses and the positioning of the drivetrain, a naval architect focuses on hydrodynamics—balancing weight for stability and maneuverability—which affects how electrical engineers position solar cells, batteries, circuits, and motors. We all have to work together, and SolidWorks facilitates this process. In one instance, SolidWorks animations allowed us to understand how we could let our batteries slide from side to side with the motion of the boat to improve performance.”
“Using SolidWorks for industrial design provides me with a definite advantage."
“It’s easy to make design changes and samples with SolidWorks software. The improved design visualization helps us to investigate how a change will impact the product. This helps us improve quality and better prepare for testing, while saving time and money.”
“SolidWorks software played an important role in the development of our Core Technology, helping us to showcase the design concept and secure support. Our Core Technology really sets us apart in the marketplace. Thanks to SolidWorks software, we were able to develop it quickly and cost-effectively.”
“The ability to model our assembly designs in 3D using SOLIDWORKS, and then evaluate the assembly to identify critical areas that need improvement prior to testing and manufacturing the finished product has dramatically improved both the speed and quality of our development processes. SOLIDWORKS enables us to bring higher quality products to market faster, which has improved our competitiveness.”
"SOLIDWORKS empowers you to consider manufacturing throughout your design process. That really makes the transition from concept to production seamless."
“This approach has enabled us to make the parts as light and streamlined as possible, yet still strong enough to function effectively."
“With SOLIDWORKS design for manufacturability solutions, we will save time and money working with our manufacturing partners by streamlining the entire process.”
"SOLIDWORKS software has enabled us to communicate effectively, whether with manufacturers, suppliers, or industrial design partners."
"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 our CEO approved the use of SOLIDWORKS Sell for configuring Aspire Custom orders, he commented that he’d be surprised if more than one percent of the orders that we receive would be placed through use of the configurator. To date,75 percent of Aspire Custom orders have been customized with the SOLIDWORKS Sell configurator to some extent."
“What we liked about SOLIDWORKS Sell technology was that this was the fi rst time that we saw an online confi gurator that was simple to use.”
“With tight revision controls, the 3DEXPERIENCE platform ensures that all employees, suppliers, and partners are able to work with the latest, up-to-date product data. The ability to view, annotate, manage, and share designs from anywhere, at any time, and on any device—all without having to worry about using the wrong revision or mismanaging the data—not only speeds time to market by collaborating with other design disciplines early in the development process but also improves quality overall.”
