“SOLIDWORKS saved our team of five engineers years in development time. Frankly, we couldn’t do what we’re doing with the body, and utilize the number of available parts this quickly, without SOLIDWORKS.”

“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.”

"We can do these expensive and complex drop tests directly in [3DEXPERIENCE Works Simulation], which is a big time-saver. The opportunity we have with the 3DEXPERIENCE Works Simulation is that we can reject early [design] ideas digitally, saving a lot of money and time [on the back end]."

“The corner treatment of weldments is truly awesome, because it gives us a clear idea of the joints.”

"Our users need to obtain the right drawing information as quickly as possible. EXALEAD is fast and its search results are pertinent and very precise."

“When you factor in the added detail and accuracy, our investment in SOLIDWORKS Electrical Schematics software has proven to be wise. By integrating electrical and mechanical design with SOLIDWORKS software, we’ve become more efficient in designing and selling our solutions, which has helped us to become more profitable.”

“We are, by the nature of our business, multitaskers. We move from project to project very quickly and often need to juggle more than one project at a time. Using SolidWorks Enterprise PDM, we can manage different projects and data more effectively. In addition to tightening revision control, the software …

“I knew that SolidWorks was a better system for working with engineering students because of the short learning curve. We have now standardized on SolidWorks for all of our engineering courses and research at Dartmouth.”

"People like our robot. They are not intimidated by it, and SOLIDWORKS helped us achieve our goal."

“SOLIDWORKS Simulation allows us to make sure that the parts are strong enough yet as light as possible. This is extremely important because NAO has to carry his own weight, battery, and motors. Every gram saved is critical. SOLIDWORKS Plastics injection molding analysis software ensured that our plastic-injection parts are …

“If we didn’t have SOLIDWORKS Plastics, we wouldn’t have as much confidence in the manufacturability of a design. It helps us avoid going back and forth with the moldmaker after the fact, which saves time and reduces costs.”

“Advantage for [ECCO] in implementing SolidWorks Plastics is the ability to understand how a part is going to behave in tooling.”

“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 …

“Last season, we were over weight by four pounds and had to cut away sacrificial pieces to make weight. With SOLIDWORKS topology optimization tools, we learn where we can cut material and weight that not only doesn’t sacrifice strength and stiffness but actually improves both. We’ve cut five pounds from …

“The way that we work with SOLIDWORKS in developing each season’s robot is to have Mike work on the overall design and have other team members contribute their specific part of the robot. We work remotely, so we’ll share our screen with other members of the team and conduct a …
