“We’ve seen a big difference in efficiency and flexibility since moving to SOLIDWORKS Requests for customization have increased in recent years and will continue to grow in the future. Fortunately, with SOLIDWORKS we have the agility that we need to deliver quality systems faster and the flexibility to make design …

"Whether I’m opening an existing 3D model or drawing and extruding a sketch, SOLIDWORKS allows me to work faster and smarter. With fully dimensioned, intelligent SOLIDWORKS models, I can open a design for something that already exists, make some changes such as taking existing structural steel beams out and putting …

“Without SolidWorks software, it would be almost impossible for us to design this product that has to fulfill both the regulatory requirements from the aerospace industry and regulatory agencies, as well as from the medical technology industry."

“With SolidWorks Simulation, I can identify and resolve potential issues during design, so that when we mold those initial pieces, they are right the first time. It’s an incredible tool that has let us save 30 to 60 percent in capital costs in the development of new products.”

“Between the customizable report generation tools in Smap3D and SOLIDWORKS eDrawings files, we can now more clearly and thoroughly communicate the need to make a design change, which facilitates customer comprehension and approval. The SOLIDWORKS/Smap3D solution improves the clarity and accuracy of documentation and communication throughout the entire process chain.”

"From my standpoint, there’s no other combination of tools that can do what SOLIDWORKS and SOLIDWORKS PCB does. I can slide back and forth between the two programs without crashes, file conversions, or data transfers. I throw the components on the board in SOLIDWORKS PCB, take the design into SOLIDWORKS …

“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.”

"To match the continual curvature of today’s smartphones, we use a hybrid of surface and solid modeling in SOLIDWORKS. We find the fill and boundary surface tools give us the best results for controlling tangency and curvature to obtain the right shape. Creating the blends and transitions in our products …

“Solidworks software lets us be more agile, flexible, and innovative. From an engineering standpoint, we couldn’t do what we do today without Solidworks software.”

“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 …

“SOLIDWORKS is hands-down what our members wanted to work with the most.”

“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 …

“SolidWorks software helped us deliver quickly on an important product that could easily have taken two years to build. SolidWorks software gave everyone involved a clear picture of what we were working on and working toward—and kept us moving fast.”

“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."

“It took us two-and-a-half years to build two mechanisms in 2D. With SolidWorks software, we built all nine mechanisms in less than two years and with fewer designers. Based on the reduction in design resources required to complete the project using SolidWorks software, we estimate that we saved $300,000 in …
