“Transferring to SolidWorks was the only logical consequence to ensure that we give our students the best job prospects.”

"We can pre-route the wires digitally [in SOLIDWORKS] and go around any sharps or dangerous components. It really helps us plan our production and our material use for each vehicle."

"Using SOLIDWORKS, students can focus more on the design and engineering and less on the tool. UNH Precision Racing comprises several subteams—frame, suspension, electronics, controls, and the aerodynamics and SOLIDWORKS software better facilitates interdisciplinary collaboration and communication. The team wouldn’t be able to build the quality of cars they’ve produced …

“From the mold development and analysis functionality in SOLIDWORKS Premium, to the nonlinear FEA simulation capabilities in SOLIDWORKS Simulation Premium, I have the tools I need to help my clients overcome their injectionmold challenges and shorten production cycle times.”

“The final assembly of our machines is about 1,500 parts. With SolidWorks software, we design subassemblies using a modular approach, such as the column assembly (10-15 parts) or the base assembly (50 parts). Most of our products are symmetrical so the mirror-imaging feature in SolidWorks software is a big plus.”

"We really liked the interference-checking feature because it enables us to check the fit and function of all the components prior to manufacture."

“It took us two-and-a-half years to build two mechanisms in 2D. With SolidWorks software, we built all nine mechanisms in less than two years and with fewer designers. Based on the reduction in design resources required to complete the project using SolidWorks software, we estimate that we saved $300,000 in …

"Making a design change is at least 50 percent faster with SolidWorks, and the enhanced visualization in 3D allows us to identify more interferences."

"With SOLIDWORKS Electrical 3D, we’ve reduced BOM generation time from hours to minutes, and the BOM information that we output is more accurate."

“When I have that understanding, I’m able to bring that part to conclusion just so much quicker.”

"We had SolidWorks up and running in a month and implemented PDMWorks Enterprise within a week."

“With SOLIDWORKS Electrical 3D, we are better positioned to develop our next generation of optimized systems. It’s helping us improve margins and reduce customer costs, which allows us to maintain and manage our dramatic business growth.”

“For example, locating solid-state electrical devices in a confined space generates heat. By having all design domains on one platform, we can simulate heat flow inside the cabinet by bringing in the thermal effects of electronic components and satisfy demands for miniaturization while maintaining the high levels of quality for …

“In our business, the best measure of efficiency is the ability to create custom parts and assemblies that fit together correctly the first time. SOLIDWORKS greatly increases the odds that we consistently achieve that goal, not just during initial assembly but also whenever we need to produce replacement parts for …

“Our machines can have as many as 15,000 parts, including up to 9,000 discrete one-offs. The ability to model these parts in 3D and to make sure that we consistently assemble the machines without problems is a big plus. SOLIDWORKS helps us to keep both our assembly and component costs …
