"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."

“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.”

“Innovation has helped us gain a commanding share of the offshore wind turbine market, and SolidWorks software is one of the tools that helps us to innovate freely. SolidWorks software enables us to produce better-quality, more precise preliminary designs faster than our competitors. When a project comes in, we can …

“Using the real-time collision detection capabilities, we are able to detect areas of collision and interference on the computer, and fix them before building a single prototype. In the past, we would have had to build a prototype of the whole assembly to understand the same thing, a costly and …

“Every year, we need to update our existing product lines as well as put new products on the shelves. The pace of our product development efforts demands a flexible yet technically powerful design package.”

“SolidWorks software is a lot more user-friendly, and makes it easier to understand what the software is doing in terms of real-world applications. When it came to generating concepts and ideas, everyone used SolidWorks software to quickly gain a visual understanding of the design.”

“SolidWorks software is a superior product. It is much faster and easier to design and build individual parts and assemblies in SolidWorks software, and the motion simulation helped us reduce mistakes and the number of prototypes required.”

“SolidWorks soft ware was the CAD system used by three of our most successful teams. One team is responding to the Blind Driver Challenge issued by the National Federation of the Blind, another is developing the fi rst humanoid robot in the United States, and a third won two fi …

“Sustaining our creativity, innovation, and quality with this kind of growth is all about ensuring accuracy and maximizing throughput. SOLIDWORKS saves us a ton of time and money, and helps us maintain high levels of fit, finish, and quality as we grow.”

"SolidWorks® CAD software and SolidWorks® product data management software have boosted productivity and support our concurrent product development activities. SolidWorks® product data management software behaves so much like SolidWorks® CAD software that our engineers picked it up immediately."

“SolidWorks software has become the conduit through which we have established valuable partnerships with local manufacturers. Whether our students intend to immediately enter the workforce or go on to the university, this kind of handson experience is increasingly relevant and important for their future prospects.”

"Meso used SOLIDWORKS software to develop ladle and punch bowl designs that were consistent with the Courvoisier brand. Using SOLIDWORKS surfacing tools, Meso accurately modeled each bottle and designed the ladles so that they would wrap around each bottle perfectly."

"We make great use of design configurations in SolidWorks to facilitate design reuse and quickly create component designs of different lengths, heights, and travel times."

“We’re at least three months faster than everyone else. In addition to offering shorter delivery times, the fact that we’re model-based means that we can show customers what we are doing and how the pump will work. Clearly, SolidWorks gives us a competitive advantage.”

“I’m setting up and modifying the test pad to replicate each customer’s conditions. With SolidWorks, I can bring the pump model into the test pad model and see where I have to make changes or create tooling. I have to make sure that it all works when we test the …
