645 SolidWorks Testimonials

“Our products have to look good, and SolidWorks gives us the tools we need to make them look their best.”

"We looked at other CAD packages out there, but we chose SolidWorks for its ease of use and outstanding performance."

“The light bar base was the largest injected-plastic part that we have made. With SOLIDWORKS Plastics, I was able to modify the design to improve the flow of plastic in the mold. I added a large post for the injection sprue and ribs heading out from the post to serve as runners to improve flow. Instead of having to go back and add runners, which would have resulted in a delay, I had already done it. All the moldmaker had to do was change a gate dimension.”

"SOLIDWORKS is simply and effectively the backbone of our designs. The Dassault Systèmes 3D solution is a necessary step in getting the exoskeleton certified and making the Wandercraft technological and human adventure an industrial reality."

“It’s very beneficial for the students to have solidworks threaded throughout the curriculum. The students have become so proficient with solidworks that we’ve included the certified solidworks associate certification test as part of our final exam.”

“With SolidWorks, students can undertake more substantial projects, SolidWorks helps students make intelligent decisions more quickly and accurately, and complete projects with a level of detail, refinement, and consistency that we haven’t seen before.”

“With SolidWorks, students get a real jump start on industry tools and methodologies, SolidWorks serves as both a learning interface and a tool. The software’s incredibly intuitive and establishes a more practical, parametric paradigm for thinking about design.”

“To cover more ground and bett er prepare students for work in industry, we sought to tie in our Foundations class with the courses that follow, We wanted to give students the necessary tools to not only visualize a design but also communicate with engineers and work with manufacturing techniques to build their own creations.”

“Since we switched to SOLIDWORKS, we have been able to come up with unique and competitive solutions. We create designs, their documentation, and simulations using a single application. Our company’s top priorities include high-quality products, high-end technology, professionalism, and rapid growth. SOLIDWORKS helps us accomplish these priorities and develop new objectives.”

“Beyond the obvious improvements for editing surface models, the combination of surfacing and parametric design capabilities in SOLIDWORKS Industrial Designer software provides greater design power because I can leverage both ways of working and utilize the approach best-suited to different parts of the design.”

“Whether we are using simulation to meet restrictive weight requirements, PhotoView 360 to create photorealistic renderings, SOLIDWORKS eDrawings to communicate with customers, or SOLIDWORKS Composer to accelerate documentation development, SOLIDWORKS provides us with the full range of tools that we need to continue leading the way in the development of innovative inflatable and semi-rigid boats.”

“SOLIDWORKS has been instrumental in helping us minimize design time and costs through the use of parametric design, sheet metal, weldment, and structural analysis tools SOLIDWORKS associativity enables automatic updating of all assembly and part drawings, shortening development time between product cycles.”

“By making the switch to SOLIDWORKS, we have cut our design cycle from 16 weeks to less than 12 weeks. We used to create three prototypes prior to deciding on a production model; now, we only need one. This has saved a minimum of 160 man hours and substantial prototyping costs on a single project.”

“What Sigmund is really doing is orchestrating product development. Opinions too often set product directions, but objective data trumps opinion. We can now say, ‘Here are designs A, B, and C and the accompanying Sigmund studies. As you can see, Design B won’t meet the objective, so you’ve got to relax your quality standard or pick between A or C.’ With objective data, there’s nothing to argue about.”

“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.”
