“Because of this data migration to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform in the cloud, our data is more secure, downtime related to server woes has been eliminated, and we’re saving money at the same time. Our 3DEXPERIENCE subscription costs are less than the monthly fees we were paying to maintain a PDM …

“Because of the benefits SOLIDWORKS provides in terms of design speed, we are more competitive.”

“The whole project would be impossible without an easy-tolearn CAD system, and SOLIDWORKS has allowed us to build upon the work of past teams to grow, improve, and become more competitive.”

“With SOLIDWORKS, we have the integrated functionality to quickly develop and support products, enabling our company to grow.”

“Being around other clean technology innovators, sharing the use of advanced hardware, and having access to the complete suite of SOLIDWORKS tools has really helped to speed up development and prototyping.”

“Although CAMWorks is powerful, it’s just as easy to learn as SolidWorks software. By the end of the first day of our training (provided by SolidWorks and CAMWorks software reseller GoEngineer), we were making parts. Both pieces of software have been very intuitive and with an extremely short learning curve. …

“By saving time, improving accuracy, and eliminating design errors, we can take on more projects in the same amount of time. The ability to work more accurately and effi ciently benefi ts both our internal operations and overall business trajectory. With SOLIDWORKS, design, production, and assembly go more smoothly, and …

“Most of our business is based on custom development of mill relining systems. Each grinding mill is different and requires a custom, one-off design. However, we believed that 3D would ultimately let us utilize a range of standard components, configurations, and subassemblies, and that eventually we would be able to …

“With SOLIDWORKS solutions, we’ve grown from a project-based company into a production company.”

“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 …

“We use the primary modeling function to design all of our parts. We generate drawings and use them to interface with manufacturers. We also use simulation to prove the design out and try to reduce weight of the design as much as possible.”

"We needed a package that not only met our requirements, but also required a short learning curve. SOLIDWORKS has proven to be the right package for us."

“We started using SolidWorks software when we won a job that required SolidWorks software data as the delivered CAD format. Our headquarters in Nashville, Tennessee, was already implementing the software, so we made the decision to transition to 100 percent SolidWorks 3D CAD software at our Phoenix facility.”

“The system had to be designed to operate with different feeders, conveyors, and manual assembly systems. The project also involved creating an assembly of approximately 600 components in a relatively small space, We envisioned the Viper as a robotic cell on an assembly line or as a standalone assembly station. …

“The company operated without an official CAD system until 2011. While that effort certainly advanced the early-generation concepts, it was difficult and time consuming to work that way, especially as the design team grew. We needed a CAD system to support visualization and simulation in lieu of heavy prototyping, and …
