“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.”
“The speed with which I can churn out sheet metal designs with SOLIDWORKS has surprised our fabricator, who said my output is more than what three of his designers could produce. That’s the type of productivity that is helping grow the company.”
"I used to spend an entire day creating and updating engineering drawings after changes to the design were made. With SOLIDWORKS MBD software, I can publish information-rich 3D PDFs with all of the information required for manufacturing in about 10 minutes per part."
“We definitely saved time and shortened our design cycle by using SolidWorks software, primarily because it allows us to make design changes faster and easier."
“Without SolidWorks software, it would be almost impossible for us to design this product that has to fulfill both the regulatory requirements from the aerospace industry and regulatory agencies, as well as from the medical technology industry."
"With the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, we are well on our way to developing a fleet of robots that can inspect fuel storage tanks across the country and world—one tank at a time."
“If you are not designing your systems and not setting up your business such that you can get the best people working together wherever they are, you’re going to have problems. Technology like the cloud-based 3DEXPERIENCE platform can help you get there. It made it drastically faster to share design changes and gave us instant visibility into who is doing what. And, we’ve just scratched the surface. There is so much more to explore, especially when it comes to connecting design with the other steps in product development.”
“SolidWorks Composer has helped us to eliminate an irritating bottleneck in the design process. It’s not only faster to develop assembly instructions with 3DVIA Composer, but it also allows us to complete the instructions earlier in the process, both of which help us accelerate delivery to the customer.”
“With the [SolidWorks Enterprise] PDM system, all of our plants run differently and more efficiently.”
"With SOLIDWORKS, I can clearly visualize the core design and use mass properties to maintain the integrity of design dynamics while changing the densities of the inner and outer cores to achieve the desired performance."
"SOLIDWORKS enabled us to communicate effectively with our moldmaker to tweak the design and make adjustments in real time, such as doing a better job hiding parting lines."
"When we receive an order, COUNTERPART opens SOLIDWORKS and directly synchronizes the parts required for the specifi c confi guration with our other functions, including procurement, inventory management, and manufacturing operations. It generates purchase orders, work orders for our plasma table, and cut lengths for piping. A majority of our employees use the system daily and have their own task lists to perform. The SOLIDWORKS/COUNTERPART solution is helping us grow the company by keeping everyone in sync."
“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 calculate the operation of up to 100 turbines in one go, analyzing many factors such as the wave loads, and rapidly produce designs that take them all into consideration.”
