“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.”

“SOLIDWORKS helps us improve design manufacturability, such as making sure the model has sufficient draft, and reduce iterations with our moldmaker.”

"We make a lot of models and prototypes of our shoes, and SolidWorks has helped us to make greater use of virtual models. Overall, we have cut our development costs by 50 percent.”

"We’re collaborating more effectively since we switched to SOLIDWORKS because the combined solution simplifies things."

“We couldn’t get local support for the electrical schematics software and few of the companies and designers in our area were familiar with or trained in Solid Edge. When we looked around at similar companies in our area and recruited designers and engineers, we kept encountering SOLIDWORKS® software. So, we decided to purchase a copy and try it out. That experience resulted in our full transition to SOLDIWORKS in 2013.”

“Our schematics layouts definitely look nicer and make a better impression with customers. We’ve added a good number of new symbols to our SOLIDWORKS Electrical Schematic database, which enables me not only to create more aesthetically pleasing schematics but also to complete them more efficiently and cost-effectively.”

"In addition to a fairly drastic difference in modeling power, SolidWorks CAD software included draft and mold analysis tools and surfacing capabilities that are better suited to mold development."

“Life got a whole lot easier when we moved to SolidWorks Professional."

“With SolidWorks software, I only have to draw the part once, and can use design tables to create other configurations automatically.”

“But because SolidWorks software is easy to learn, we now give the students less time on just CAD and encourage them to learn how to use the tool through actual work. The evidence we have that this approach works comes in the form of the beautiful models that the students create by the end of the course.”

“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 has helped us improve large assembly design, resulting in time savings, cost reductions, and quality improvements.”
