"Now we can go from a napkin-drawn concept to a prototype in just 12 weeks compared to six months before implementing a PDM system – and with a far higher degree of accuracy."

“To cover more ground and bett er prepare students for work in industry, we sought to tie in our Foundations class with the courses that follow, We wanted to give students the necessary tools to not only visualize a design but also communicate with engineers and work with manufacturing techniques to build their own creations.”

“By making the switch to SOLIDWORKS, we have cut our design cycle from 16 weeks to less than 12 weeks. We used to create three prototypes prior to deciding on a production model; now, we only need one. This has saved a minimum of 160 man hours and substantial prototyping costs on a single project.”

"SOLIDWORKS allowed us to design the complete vehicle, breaking it down into individual components within subassemblies while also allowing us to see how they affect each other via a main assembly. This enables us to review multiple design concepts and configurations without the need for physical prototypes."

“Using SOLIDWORKS Simulation Premium software, we can provide clients with the full range of design simulation, optimization, and materials analysis services with a high degree of added value.”

“Increasingly, companies are asking for digital prototypes for their innovative projects. Simulations are taking place earlier in the development process, instead of creating multiple physical prototypes. It’s up to us to continue making advances and progressing in our fi eld. With SOLIDWORKS Simulation Premium, we have a great support tool. Our expertise and motivation do the rest.”

“Sustaining our creativity, innovation, and quality with this kind of growth is all about ensuring accuracy and maximizing throughput. SOLIDWORKS saves us a ton of time and money, and helps us maintain high levels of fit, finish, and quality as we grow.”

“SOLIDWORKS has helped our development and fabrication processes run like silk, so we can focus on new product development and use engineering time more wisely and effectively.”

“Thanks to SOLIDWORKS Education Edition, we won our first year challenge. We were chosen for the design and production of the mast which included a laser target-selecting pointer. And it was the Lycée Victor Duruy which had the privilege, once again with the help of SOLIDWORKS, of integrating and assembling all the elements of the Robotic Explorer Curiosity.”

“We use the photorealistic rendering and animation tools in SolidWorks software to produce user how-to videos on the web. With these tools, we have produced over 100,000 DVDs that show how the saw works. We also use renderings to produce our user manuals since it is easier to create an animation than to videotape a saw. With SolidWorks software, we can also use cutaways and transparencies to show what is happening inside. All these tools help us to design, manufacture, and market our table saws better.”

"There was a substantial reduction in weight between the previous design and the new design. That reduction is a direct result of using SolidWorks® Simulation to optimize the design. We would not have been able to achieve as much of a reduction using hand calculations."

"The technologies are very effective for analyzing any temperature-dependent, closed system in which internal and surface temperatures are both of interest."

"Using SOLIDWORKS, we have been able to reduce what would take years to months. The main reason for these productivity gains is that it’s so much easier to visualize the design and make changes in SOLIDWORKS. Custom-designed machines are our core business, which is why we use SOLIDWORKS for every project—it allows us to make changes quickly and easily."

“With SOLIDWORKS Simulation Professional software, we run linear static stress analyses not only on critical components but also on each subassembly of the rig. This capability has allowed us to reduce the weight of our rigs by 10 percent while maintaining strength and performance.”

“We strive to produce the lightest, most effective conveyances for effi ciently and safely transporting the greatest payloads. Using SOLIDWORKS Simulation Premium tools, we have been able to reduce the weight of our structures by 10 to 20 percent while at the same time increasing payload capacity by one to two tons.”
