645 SolidWorks Testimonials

“As we continue to revolutionize CNC Education, we are proud to partner with SOLIDWORKS to offer advanced and easy to use curriculum to the industry, SOLIDWORKS is the world’s premier design software and they offer the tools manufacturers need to compete across all industries and meet the tough challenges and industry requirements. We are excited demonstrate the power and efficiency of the platforms which will help us educate and inspire the entire industry.”

"With a reasonable range of values and minimal manual input by the designers, we can quickly design families of products of various dimensions and capacities."

"I can talk about a concept in the morning, and then use SOLIDWORKS Visualize to create and show a completely rendered image of it later that afternoon. That’s the rendering performance that our industry now not only expects but demands."

"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 branding aspects of how our machines look and operate on the factory floor."

“With SolidWorks Simulation, I can identify and resolve potential issues during design, so that when we mold those initial pieces, they are right the first time. It’s an incredible tool that has let us save 30 to 60 percent in capital costs in the development of new products.”

“The ability to create compelling photorealistic renderings and 3D animations of our systems gives us a real leg up. We use design visuals in our product literature, marketing materials, and technical instructions, but where they really have an impact is during the sales process. Whenever we can get our design documents and visuals into the prebid process, we generally win the job. When a prospective customer sees our SolidWorks design renderings, our sales closing rate is somewhere between 90 and 100 percent.”

“By gaining a better understanding of the physics involved, we developed a more efficient system. Simulation capabilities provide a huge benefit and give us a real competitive advantage.”

“In the water treatment industry, lead-time is often more important than price. With the combined SolidWorks and TactonWorks solution, once our proposal is accepted, design goes through engineering in just a few days, then out to fabrication. This type of automation has been a key factor in our business growth.”

“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.”

"SolidWorks has allowed us to take our operation to the next level. We compete against very large corporations, but with SolidWorks we develop winning proposals and install systems that outperform the competition."

“SOLIDWORKS Conceptual Designer has not only enabled us to more effi ciently and completely create machine concepts, share our ideas, and discuss solution options with our customers, it has also allowed us to more easily bring initial concepts into SOLIDWORKS CAD software and more quickly introduce innovations to market.”

“We have come a long way since our founding, and SolidWorks has been an important tool for helping us develop our technology. We are satisfied with SolidWorks and will continue to use it as we work to change the way deepwater drilling is done.”

"SolidWorks is simple to use and facilitates communications and discussions with external designers."

“Most of our business is based on custom development of mill relining systems. Each grinding mill is different and requires a custom, one-off design. However, we believed that 3D would ultimately let us utilize a range of standard components, configurations, and subassemblies, and that eventually we would be able to further automate the design and configuration of each system. Moving to 3D would allow us to speed up turnaround on proposal development, design, production, and assembly."
