"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 have close to 200 people collaborating on this innovative technology, and simply do not have the time to move through a slow, expensive process."
“MooBella is revolutionary in more ways than one We decided early on that we did not want a large overhead structure and could most expeditiously develop this technology working with outside suppliers. We wanted everyone involved on the SolidWorks software platform so we could share models with partners. In addition, we relied on eDrawings files to drive collaboration. The powerful capabilities of SolidWorks Premium, combined with the ease of communicating with eDrawings files and managing data with SolidWorks Workgroup PDM, brought all the disparate elements together into a high-quality, functional machine.”
"To be successful, we needed to leapfrog the competition by developing the top-performing product on the market in a short period of time. The decision to deploy SolidWorks as our CAD platform was an important part of our strategy."
"At Nectar, we strive to find elegant solutions to complex challenges, and SolidWorks resides at the core of what we do.”
“We used to need different programs for specific tasks, such as surfacing and analysis.”
“The load cases are extreme and multidirectional, and any slight misalignment can compromise performance.”
"Safety is our primary concern, so we really take advantage of the SOLIDWORKS Simulation FEA [finite element analysis] tool to better understand performance and accelerate development safely."
“When you’re engaged in a high-risk proposition about which the development team is passionate, a setback can cause more damage than lost time and money. It can drag down a team’s passion, energy, and enthusiasm. With SOLIDWORKS solutions, we have the tools we need to make mistakes in a virtual environment, which is not only less emotionally devastating to our team’s spirit but also builds the confidence that we need to take risks, try new approaches, and discover breakthroughs. SOLIDWORKS is helping us build an aircraft that can go where no one else can.”
“Some were good, some were bad, but none was even close to perfect. The trickiest part is easily the knob, which is crucial for performance. We wanted our knob design to start with the best qualities of what already existed and then reflect our innovations.”
“NextEngine and SolidWorks software are both powerful tools that are surprisingly easy to use, and they work well together. The scanner is very reliable, and the scanning setup can be wickedly fast. In this case, I just teed it up on the AutoDrive part positioner and started shooting. Since SolidWorks software is parametric, every tweak to the model was relatively simple, and dependent dimensions and features all changed automatically. I’ve used and taught a number of CAD programs in the past, but I always come back to SolidWorks software, because it lets me and my students focus on the design, not on learning software.”
“SOLIDWORKS Education Edition is the full package for engineering education and is easy to learn, which allows us to broaden student training. The integration between simulation, fl uid-fl ow analysis, motion analysis, and plastic injection simulation, all within a parametric model, enables us to provide students with the complete design-throughmanufacturing experience.”
“The Integration is Seamless—just Another Menu Pick—which Gave Us an Edge Over Our Competition, and Enabled Us to Achieve This Major Leap Forward in the Industry in a Relatively Short Amount of Time.”
