645 SolidWorks Testimonials

"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.”

“Weight and resistance are important factors in delivering increasingly lighter and more resistant equipment. We develop and parameterize a 3D model with SOLIDWORKS, which we use for pre-interference analysis. Then, we use 3DEXPERIENCE Works SIMULIA Structural Mechanics Engineer to simulate the design and determine whether it is within required parameters—based on our norms and rules—before releasing it for production. With this approach, we reduced our design cycles from two months to two weeks, which frees up our team to design more in the same amount of time, enabling us to optimize our workforce.”

“Because of the efficiencies we’ve gained using SolidWorks solutions, we now demand that all Moog Quickset vendors have SolidWorks in order to work with us.”

"We believed that using Inventor and CADKEY software was holding us back in some respects. We were looking for a single system that was easier to use, more capable, and better suited to meeting our needs and goals and found SolidWorks CAD software."

"Due to our success in increasing efficiencies using the SOLIDWORKS platform, we’ve now made it mandatory for all of our designers to pass either the Certified SOLIDWORKS Professional [CSWP] or Certified SOLIDWORKS Expert [CSWE] exam. We made these certifications a requirement because we believe we can increase efficiency further by raising the level of our designers’ SOLIDWORKS skills."

"Using the simulation capabilities of SolidWorks Premium, we can do more prototyping in software and produce fewer physical prototypes."

“SOLIDWORKS solutions helped us create the design for the best power meter in the world. There are nearly a thousand parts and assemblies in the unit. With SOLIDWORKS, we were able to deliver a product that is number one in the market in record time.”

“We chose SOLIDWORKS because dollar for dollar, it’s the best 3D CAD out there. When you consider the additional integrated solutions like Electrical and PDM, we get the most bang for our buck with the SOLIDWORKS development environment.”

“While we buy all of our robots from ABB, the robots represent just one part of our custom automation systems. We add value by using the robots to invent new manufacturing processes through the design, fabrication and installation of all of the ancillary equipment, mechanical controls, interface tools and operational software. Because we can use integrated SOLIDWORKS tools to collaboratively create our mechanical designs and electrical schematics, we are able to develop our value-add systems as efficiently and cost-effectively as possible.”

“I knew then that this technology needs to be made available to the public, Making this technology available for the masses not only is morally correct, it is the next logical step and has a proven business model. I imagine a kid with a disability going to the beach, transferring from their wheelchair to a tracked chair already located at the beach kiosk and thoroughly enjoying his/her day with a girlfriend or boyfriend on the beach or playing in the park. This is all possible right now! Making these chairs available at low cost will usher in a tsunami of freedom in people’s lives, and I realized there is a possibility with the right tools and skilled partners that I can actually make that kind of impact on people all over the world.”

“This approach has enabled us to make the parts as light and streamlined as possible, yet still strong enough to function effectively."

“With SOLIDWORKS design for manufacturability solutions, we will save time and money working with our manufacturing partners by streamlining the entire process.”

"SOLIDWORKS software has enabled us to communicate effectively, whether with manufacturers, suppliers, or industrial design partners."

“The level of automation that we have been able to achieve via SQL integrations with SOLIDWORKS Electrical has allowed us to save significant amounts of time. Our designers report drawing speed increases ranging from 25 to 50 percent, and a detailed look at our projects over a five-year period revealed that we are saving an average of 2,033 man-hours per year.”

“The transition to 3D design and iMachining via the integrated SOLIDWORKS/ SolidCAM CAD/CAM solution has enabled us to increase throughput, improve our bottom line, and grow revenue.”
