“Being around other clean technology innovators, sharing the use of advanced hardware, and having access to the complete suite of SOLIDWORKS tools has really helped to speed up development and prototyping.”
“Solidworks software lets us be more agile, flexible, and innovative. From an engineering standpoint, we couldn’t do what we do today without Solidworks software.”
“We have found SolidWorks software is so easy to use that we are able to complete more projects in the same time window. In fact, we have convinced many of our suppliers to move to SolidWorks software as well.”
“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.”
“My life has been about music and my quest to create the ultimate electric guitar. We designed the Fusion Guitar to be the 21st century guitarists’ gateway to enjoyable musical expression anywhere and anytime. Combining the Fusion with iOS guitar apps unleashes amazing possibilities for learning, creating, performing, and sharing music.”
“With SolidWorks software, we engineered the product line from top to bottom in less than a year. This was done in record time. Getting just a single product out the door can take two years or more when working in older 3D systems or in 2D.”
“Solid model data feeds directly into these analysis and simulation tools. So we can evaluate the design early in the process and easily correct problems before getting to hardware testing or the shop floor. Eliminating these build-and-test cycles shaves months off the typical product development cycle.”
"SOLIDWORKS provides an intuitive graphical user interface that allows us to design, check, and verify a design within a few hours. That’s why we use SOLIDWORKS: It allows us to design everything very quickly."
“SOLIDWORKS Simulation helped us minimize trial and error in testing the safety of our robots through finite element analysis. Making physical mock-ups is very time-consuming. Therefore, we use SOLIDWORKS to visually prototype parts before we physically assemble them.”
”There is no question about it. We do save both time and money thanks to the computer simulations in SolidWorks.”
"The key differentiator of SolidWorks that it’s constantly enhancing its products and its user interface which allows us to design better products, increase productivity and eliminate errors before going to manufacturing.”
“We have several cylinders that exert up to 1.5 tons in the center or at the end of the [weightlifting] bars.”
"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]."
"SolidWorks CAD software allows us to collaborate on designs efficiently and accurately with our suppliers, which reduces production times and lets us quickly begin testing the boat on the water."
