“SolidWorks software has enabled an incredible improvement in our final products in terms of detail, quality, and flexibility.”
"When designing in 3D rather than in 2D, it is even more important that all engineers work in the same way and apply the same structured methodology to create their models — and achieving that in an engineering team of 60 people, all working on highly complex products, is a great challenge."
“Integrating the lighting with the structural elements of the design in the SOLIDWORKS environment keeps the entire design team on the same page and makes it easy to produce renderings that provide a realistic depiction of how a proposed lighting system will transform its environment.”
"With the automation that we’ve achieved integrating SOLIDWORKS with our ERP system, our designers only have to worry about working on the design and getting that job done properly. It’s much easier to visualize and model these designs in SOLIDWORKS, and we’ve been able to automate fabrication by employing MBD techniques."
“Our designers use SOLIDWORKS to visualize the project, including assembly, without having to actually produce the parts. Our ERP system then extracts all of the required bill of materials [BOM], geometry, and dimensioning information to manufacture the design from the SOLIDWORKS eDrawings file, eliminating the time and effort required to create 2D engineering drawings while simultaneously improving accuracy and quality.”
"The move to SOLIDWORKS is really helping us bring our product development operation to the next level by enabling us to automate our design and manufacturing processes as much as possible."
“Management wanted to ramp up new product development, so we needed to acquire 3D design, simulation, and communication tools to achieve efficiency and productivity gains to support that effort."
"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."
“With SolidWorks, we can model something up in a fraction of the time of other packages, use integrated simulation tools to make sure that the design can withstand adverse conditions, and use PhotoView 360 to show the system in photorealistic detail. SolidWorks lets us simultaneously create, test, build, and demonstrate designs, which results in faster deployment.”
“The purpose of the project was to demonstrate that we can conceive, develop, and execute complex systems and get them out quickly. We basically built a UAV in a week and a half, and SolidWorks played a major role in that effort. Because of this project, we’re now developing a full 25-pound UAV with a 10-foot wingspan. SolidWorks software enables us to rapidly design and build UAVs.”
“SolidWorks software not only is easy to use and intuitive, but also is extremely powerful. Its integrated analysis tools enable MountainWave Design to tackle just about any project related to aerodynamic design.”
"Because SOLIDWORKS mechanical, electrical, and electronic design tools are integrated, we completed the design without having to make a prototype and with just a single revision."
“We discovered that SOLIDWORKS is an industry leader in the development of consumer products, is easy to use, and provides access to an integrated, robust suite of design and engineering solutions. We chose SOLIDWORKS solutions because they help us give our start-ups the best chance for success within the 16 weeks of the program.”
“We started Switchmate to design a smart light switch that is super simple to set up and that makes everyday life a little bit easier. Users just snap it on over an existing light switch, and then use the app to turn the lights on or off, or control anything that’s operated by the switch.”
“At Highway1, we made the leap from a proven, functional technology to an aesthetically pleasing, manufacturable product."
