“The fact that Composer is a SolidWorks product and part of Dassault Systemes meant that we’d be going with something that was leading edge and not just a stand-alone product. We wanted to work with a company we knew would be around for the long term.”

“The combination of Solidworks design and simulation tools enabled us to make the best choices for functional efficiency of equipment as well as manufacturing.”

"With DraftSight, we can manipulate past projects and our design library of P&ID symbols to save time and effort. In short, DraftSight gives us greater flexibility to work with 2D file formats and design entities more quickly and easily."

“Thank you SOLIDWORKS for sponsoring DriveWorks World again! We’re proud of our technology and the way so many customers use SOLIDWORKS and DriveWorks together to work smarter. We look forward to you joining us at the event in April!”

"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.”

“To grow the business, we need to develop new products. With SOLIDWORKS Composer software, our designers can focus on development while others create documentation that is more effective for consumers, whether they be production personnel, distributors, or customers.”

“Because of this data migration to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform in the cloud, our data is more secure, downtime related to server woes has been eliminated, and we’re saving money at the same time. Our 3DEXPERIENCE subscription costs are less than the monthly fees we were paying to maintain a PDM …

“We’ve relied on SOLIDWORKS mechanical design and FEA (finite element analysis) tools since the beginning. As fuel-cell applications have grown, we’ve sought to duplicate our mechanical engineering performance on the electrical systems side of our development effort.”

“It’s quite easy to place sensors, actuators, and transducers, and interface cables to the physical components. Then, we can hit the magic button that does all the wiring. SOLIDWORKS Electrical is truly a keen bit of software.”

"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 …

“Our Software Lead Felix Gundlack leveraged the open SOLIDWORKS API to create the transfer protocol that allows our online application to communicate with SOLIDWORKS. By doing this, customers receive live feedback on how the prosthetic will look. This automation sets us apart from other companies that spend a lot of …

“We then team with 3D printing service bureaus to cost-effectively produce the custom prosthetic in polyamide 12, a standard thermoplastic that we’ve determined has very reliable material properties for this purpose, using selective laser sintering. This approach allows us to configure and produce a prosthetic anywhere in the world.”

“Using SOLIDWORKS Simulation tools helped us save a ton of time and money during product development.”
