“SOLIDWORKS Education Edition is the full package for engineering education and is easy to learn, which allows us to broaden student training. The integration between simulation, fl uid-fl ow analysis, motion analysis, and plastic injection simulation, all within a parametric model, enables us to provide students with the complete design-throughmanufacturing …

"Many of our product designs comprise thousands of parts, and a single roller coaster train can contain upwards of 8,000 individual components. So we needed a system that could handle large, complex assemblies. Our goals were to shorten design cycles, improve product quality, and enhance design visualization, while reducing prototype …

“Weight is a critical design issue. While a mechanical engineer is interested in structural stresses and the positioning of the drivetrain, a naval architect focuses on hydrodynamics—balancing weight for stability and maneuverability—which affects how electrical engineers position solar cells, batteries, circuits, and motors. We all have to work together, and …

“I am a firm believer in the importance of discovery, skills development, and independent learning in education. SolidWorks has radically improved our effectiveness in getting students interested and enthusiastic about learning. I have some students who model skyscrapers from all over the world and others who are fearless in creating …

"What used to take a day, we can now do in an hour."

"We make a lot of models and prototypes of our shoes, and SolidWorks has helped us to make greater use of virtual models. Overall, we have cut our development costs by 50 percent.”

"By installing SolidWorks Enterprise PDM, we keep the work flowing, which is how we make money."

“Using 3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS, we can access a detailed 3D CAD model of the van we’re converting, allowing us to design precise and perfectly fitting parts.”

“DELMIA CAM [Machining] has enhanced our manufacturing capabilities to produce precise parts. DELMIA has also enhanced the way that we nest files and produce parts, and has reduced turnaround cycles and the risk of errors because we can now not only nest but efficiently make changes to the nesting before …

“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.”

“SOLIDWORKS is an incredible tool. Just as the saying goes – ‘necessity is the mother of invention’, SOLIDWORKS is a necessity for design.”

“We can easily save our SolidWorks software 3D models as STL files for quick 3D printing on the Z Corporation 3D printer or any rapid prototyping device.”

"It’s inspiring to see what can be done with something the world has always received as a basic black box."

“We do a lot of sketches and a lot of 3D concept prototypes. It’s critical to get the design on the screen with SolidWorks software and then off the screen in three tangible dimensions as a 3D printed model.”

"This was very critical for us. We had this software that was giving us fantastic results and then we were suddenly told to change it completely."
