"Before we implemented SOLIDWORKS Electrical software, there were two different workflows and two separate bills of materials (BOMs) for electrical and mechanical design. Now, we have a single platform, one workflow, and a unified BOM for everyone, which results in fewer mistakes and misunderstandings and greater attention to the overall …

"SOLIDWORKS is in some ways analogous to sailing. When you’re on the sea, you can sense the wind coming up as a fresh breeze. SOLIDWORKS is like that. SOLIDWORKS is fresh and there are well-thought-out ideas behind it. We’re certainly enjoying riding the SOLIDWORKS wave at J&J Design."

“With the SOLIDWORKS API, we were able to give EPDM data cards their own workflows for releasing designs to manufacturing— all linked through references. We put the manufacturing due dates, type of process, routing, and even paint color in EPDM. When Engineering releases a design to Manufacturing, the system automatically …

"Safety is our primary concern, so we really take advantage of the SOLIDWORKS Simulation FEA [finite element analysis] tool to better understand performance and accelerate development safely."

“When you’re engaged in a high-risk proposition about which the development team is passionate, a setback can cause more damage than lost time and money. It can drag down a team’s passion, energy, and enthusiasm. With SOLIDWORKS solutions, we have the tools we need to make mistakes in a virtual …

“Typically you would get in, measure it, get out, and fit a piece. Instead Parsons got in the vehicle and did a 3D scan of the inside of the chassis, and imported that data file into SOLIDWORKS. Then we build the roll cage around that 3D model that we scanned. …

“With SolidWorks Simulation software, we’re minimizing the structural problems we used to deal with on the production floor.”

“We’ve made a lot of progress in the short time.”

"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.”

“Montech recognized the potential of a forward-looking CAD environment early on. As a result, we invested in 3D and SolidWorks several years ago."

“SOLIDWORKS saved our team of five engineers years in development time. Frankly, we couldn’t do what we’re doing with the body, and utilize the number of available parts this quickly, without SOLIDWORKS.”

“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 …

“This system encompasses all the necessary functionalities to support a company’s growth, eliminating the need to switch solutions in the future. By moving our product development and manufacturing operations to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform in the cloud, we have increased productivity; eased IT, hardware, and administrative costs; improved communications; compressed workflows; …
