"SolidWorks enables us to solve a lot of potential design problems in software instead of during assembly or through track testing, which can be very expensive."
"We decided to make SolidWorks a part of our pipeline not only because of its compatibility with other formats, but also because most designers and engineers who request human anatomy models are SolidWorks users."
“Designing the engine and main structural frame was fairly straightforward, involving generic shapes. Creating the fan blades and housings was another matter. On some parts, everything is a curve, and many are made using composite materials. SolidWorks gave us the surfacing, simulation, and flow simulation tools that we needed to quickly optimize key components."
“The system ensured that they always had easy access to the data they needed and that the information was always up-to-date.”
“From design and production to cost and customer interaction, SOLIDWORKS tools help us achieve our product development goals.”
"We’re able to develop a proposal with SOLIDWORKS, including 3D models, in a couple of hours instead of the days and weeks it took to develop proposals which did not include drawings, let alone 3D models working in 2D. The average part variance that we experienced before moving to SOLIDWORKS was 12 percent. In the first two years that we used SOLIDWORKS, our average part variance was less than half a percent. With SOLIDWORKS, we’re faster and more precise."
“The SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation studies enabled us to customize the tool by putting a band around the bit, so that two-thirds or more of the air went down the shaft, We needed an adequate split of air to let the cuttings fall by gravity, where the trapped miners kept busy clearing about eight dump-truck loads of spoil. SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation allowed us to recon gure the tool and reach the miners faster.”
“Using SolidWorks software, we can create a mold in three weeks, and go from a napkin drawing to a CNC-machined pattern in a week.”
"We have become convinced that SolidWorks has the best vision for applying 3D productively."
“With SolidWorks software we do collision detection and interference checking up front. We also use configurations to develop different combinations of assemblies based on customer requirements. Using SolidWorks software, we have dramatically reduced engineering change orders (ECOs) and associated costs.”
“Barry-Wehmiller Companies has an acute need to handle large assemblies efficiently. The largest machines have 6,000 to 7,000 parts and some systems can total 20,000 to 30,000 individual components. Using SolidWorks software has helped improve processes and visualization of assembly interaction before producing a single part.”
“SOLIDWORKS has defi nitely improved our ability to innovate. We continually must come up with innovative and improved ways of doing things to support new and different types of applications.”
“The SOLIDWORKS sheet metal design capabilities have helped us tremendously. For instance, we no longer need to be concerned about whether holes in 10 to 15 different pieces of sheet metal line up. With SOLIDWORKS, these holes are always where you expect them to be.”
“I understood the value associated with having effective, efficient soft ware solutions, and realized the importance of acquiring a versatile, flexible CAD program as the foundation of our design platform, Palatov stresses. I wanted a CAD system that was both intuitive and capable, easy to use, yet applicable to modeling a wide range of design solutions to engineering challenges.”
“SOLIDWORKS has helped us improve large assembly design, resulting in time savings, cost reductions, and quality improvements.”
