645 SolidWorks Testimonials

"We needed a package that not only met our requirements, but also required a short learning curve. SOLIDWORKS has proven to be the right package for us."

"With SolidWorks CAD Software, we can go through design iteration cycles much faster."

"We’ve found ESS to be a good value because it enables rapid response to any software issues and the ability to influence future software development based on our specific needs."

“We can easily save our SolidWorks software 3D models as STL files for quick 3D printing on the Z Corporation 3D printer or any rapid prototyping device.”

"It’s inspiring to see what can be done with something the world has always received as a basic black box."

“We do a lot of sketches and a lot of 3D concept prototypes. It’s critical to get the design on the screen with SolidWorks software and then off the screen in three tangible dimensions as a 3D printed model.”

“I’m a big believer in utilizing SOLIDWORKS certifi cation tests in the course that I teach because they challenge students to apply their knowledge. Students also leave with more than a two-year degree—they leave with certifi cation of their ability to wield a widely used tool, which in many cases is the most tangible thing that they have.”

“Not only does SOLIDWORKS 3D data integrate well with CAM software, it also saves time. The software’s so easy to learn and use, and eliminates so many repetitive, time-consuming tasks, that it’s set the stage to grow our program by encompassing both design and manufacturing functions, which will help to even better prepare students for work in the real world.”

“With SolidWorks, we can model something up in a fraction of the time of other packages, use integrated simulation tools to make sure that the design can withstand adverse conditions, and use PhotoView 360 to show the system in photorealistic detail. SolidWorks lets us simultaneously create, test, build, and demonstrate designs, which results in faster deployment.”

“The purpose of the project was to demonstrate that we can conceive, develop, and execute complex systems and get them out quickly. We basically built a UAV in a week and a half, and SolidWorks played a major role in that effort. Because of this project, we’re now developing a full 25-pound UAV with a 10-foot wingspan. SolidWorks software enables us to rapidly design and build UAVs.”

“The SOLIDWORKS 3D design environment has allowed us to streamline development and cut design cycles in half because we can better visualize and evaluate part designs and assemblies, and eliminate processes that are no longer necessary.”

"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."

“Our weapon’s brushless motor was designed to only run sensorless, so I used SOLIDWORKS PCB to develop our own sensor board, which resulted in a 60 percent reduction in our motor’s spin-up time. I was able to develop the first version of our sensor board in less than a week and ultimately improve our weapon performance. SOLIDWORKS gives us all of the tools and functionality that we need to move quickly and design accurately.”

“While SOLIDWORKS Simulation tools are helping us optimize our robot designs for strength and weight, SOLIDWORKS Visualize rendering capabilities allow us to improve the robot’s appearance. Creating a fighting robot that looks good is a part of our team dynamic and aesthetic. The robot design has to be unique, interesting-looking and a tough fighter. SOLIDWORKS helps us achieve those goals.”

“We improve our robot every year, For example, we used SOLIDWORKS multi-body sheet-metal tools to develop the rib cage, a signature Witch Doctor trait. We came up with roughly 20 ways to do the ribs before settling on our final version. With SOLIDWORKS, we can iterate quickly and continue to iterate until our application is accepted and it’s time to build the robot.”
