“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.”
"We can pre-route the wires digitally [in SOLIDWORKS] and go around any sharps or dangerous components. It really helps us plan our production and our material use for each vehicle."
“Montech recognized the potential of a forward-looking CAD environment early on. As a result, we invested in 3D and SolidWorks several years ago."
"It was easy to transition from AutoCAD to SolidWorks."
“When I have that understanding, I’m able to bring that part to conclusion just so much quicker.”
“SOLIDWORKS has been instrumental in helping us minimize design time and costs through the use of parametric design, sheet metal, weldment, and structural analysis tools SOLIDWORKS associativity enables automatic updating of all assembly and part drawings, shortening development time between product cycles.”
“In order to maintain a lean design approach, I need a 3D rendering solution that generates the highest quality in the least amount of time. I found the perfect solution in SOLIDWORKS Visualize software.”
“An 80 percent, bottom-line cost reduction is significant. The beauty of using SolidWorks to develop the Delta Rack is that we were able to achieve this kind of a breakthrough while reducing our development cycle by at least 75 percent.”
“There’s a lot of technology in the Pro 48. SolidWorks 3D CAD software helps us take elegant concepts from our industrial designers and quickly prepare them for manufacturing, exchanging files seamlessly. The software automatically updates assemblies with every dimension adjustment. Powerful sheet-metal design capabilities enable us to make the part the way we want it to look versus predicting the final shape of a flat-pattern design. Inevitably, the design is right the first time.”
“We were particularly interested in how SolidWorks software handled large assemblies, which are used heavily in the development of our coolant filtration and swarf handling systems."
"SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation enabled us to decrease pressure losses by 60% for each of our RC drill rod connections."
"I used to spend an entire day creating and updating engineering drawings after changes to the design were made. With SOLIDWORKS MBD software, I can publish information-rich 3D PDFs with all of the information required for manufacturing in about 10 minutes per part."
“We have come a long way since our founding, and SolidWorks has been an important tool for helping us develop our technology. We are satisfied with SolidWorks and will continue to use it as we work to change the way deepwater drilling is done.”
“Our robots are complex systems, requiring the integration of information from sensors related to speech, facial expressions, and body movements that results in a high level of communication and coordinated actions. Our teams need access to a complete set of 3D design and engineering tools to meet our objectives.”
“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.”
