"SolidWorks CAD software not only met all of our technical needs but was also the best value and provided the greatest potential benefits downstream in the product development process."

“When most people think of flying, it’s for transportation purposes and not for a joy ride; this is especially true when you fly commercial, On the sport aviation side, transportation is not your primary goal. You’re flying because you enjoy the experience. It’s similar to driving a classic car or …

“When we needed a CAD platform for the ESTCube project, SOLIDWORKS was the obvious choice. Not only was SOLIDWORKS my preferred design solution, it was also what the students at Tartu University used. We did a lot of collaborating on this project, and SOLIDWORKS provided important advantages.”

"The students took to SOLIDWORKS right away they soak it up like a sponge and immediately began creating complex designs using 3D parametric modeling. We’ve always had strong placement numbers because manufacturers have experience with the quality of our graduates. Even though many companies are willing to invest in training …

“With SolidWorks Simulation tools, we can identify areas of high stress and potential failure before we cut metal, which allows us to improve design performance quickly and inexpensively.”

“SolidWorks Simulation capabilities allowed us to put the hydraulic brake line detangler through its paces—all on the computer screen—ensuring that the product was safe and effective before Mike Montgomery attempted his first stunt, jump, or ride.”

”There is no question about it. We do save both time and money thanks to the computer simulations in SolidWorks.”

“The students get a real kick out of creating 3D CAD models and designs, but the software has to be intuitive enough to keep them motivated and engaged. Many InvenTeams are working after school, so they need tools that are easy to use, and not intimidating. SolidWorks software has served …

"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 …

“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 …

“Solidworks gives us the tools that we need to not only design these types of complex shapes but also develop the molds and tooling required to produce them.”

“We conducted a four-month benchmark evaluation during which we tested and rated each application. SOLIDWORKS was the clear winner of that benchmark and is helping us consistently achieve our product development goals.”

“I was trained by xLM Solutions; I then trained the CAD group, purchasing, and the work center leaders, and the work center leaders trained their personnel. The training was a breeze—no training session took longer than an hour, with most lasting only 30 minutes. Everyone found it very easy to …

"TFT made the move to SolidWorks to support our product line expansion, and we have not been disappointed. We are saving time, developing innovative products, reducing design errors, and working more efficiently with vendors and manufacturing partners.”

“I knew that SolidWorks was a better system for working with engineering students because of the short learning curve. We have now standardized on SolidWorks for all of our engineering courses and research at Dartmouth.”
