“We strive to produce the lightest, most effective conveyances for effi ciently and safely transporting the greatest payloads. Using SOLIDWORKS Simulation Premium tools, we have been able to reduce the weight of our structures by 10 to 20 percent while at the same time increasing payload capacity by one to two tons.”
"We believed that using Inventor and CADKEY software was holding us back in some respects. We were looking for a single system that was easier to use, more capable, and better suited to meeting our needs and goals and found SolidWorks CAD software."
“I was debating on getting an entrepreneurship minor or starting my own company. I decided to make the leap. Starting a company is you putting yourself out there. If you have an idea, go for it. You can’t be too worried about not having it too perfect or ready. If you think it’s going to make a difference, put your idea out there. I wouldn’t be in this spot with my company if I didn’t take that chance.”
"From incoming part lots to in-process assembly inspections, SOLIDWORKS Inspection software helps us catch more unacceptable parts and eliminate assembly issues."
“Human error contributes to our inspection challenges, so we needed a system to help us eliminate it.”
“We’ve seen a big difference in efficiency and flexibility since moving to SOLIDWORKS Requests for customization have increased in recent years and will continue to grow in the future. Fortunately, with SOLIDWORKS we have the agility that we need to deliver quality systems faster and the flexibility to make design changes, even late in the process.”
"Our product is on the market and has been received very well by the anesthesiologists and operating room personnel in large part because of SolidWorks Simulatoin analysis results."
“Trey said he’d just signed a deal with ABC to reboot the series, He said he needed cool fighting robots super quick and asked if I was interested and even though I was very busy, I jumped at the chance, and HyperShock LLC was born.”
"The traditional business view of sustainable design is that it makes products more expensive. The pilot project with SOLIDWORKS Sustainability demonstrates that this view is invalid and that sustainable design practices can improve processes and save money."
"SOLIDWORKS helped us investigate new ideas quickly, sketching out rough proof of concepts, the best of which moved forward. With SOLIDWORKS, we’ve developed industry-leading technologies and completed development in a fraction of the time we expected."
“This challenge becomes increasingly difficult when developing complicated movement. SolidWorks software not only allows us to visualize individual components but also to simulate the motion of components and mechanisms, so we can avoid interference errors.”
“We now worry about 25 parameters, such as shaft length, diameter, and flange size, instead of 250, and the constraints in TactonWorks and SOLIDWORKS software take care of the rest.”
“It took us two-and-a-half years to build two mechanisms in 2D. With SolidWorks software, we built all nine mechanisms in less than two years and with fewer designers. Based on the reduction in design resources required to complete the project using SolidWorks software, we estimate that we saved $300,000 in development costs.”
“Beyond the obvious improvements for editing surface models, the combination of surfacing and parametric design capabilities in SOLIDWORKS Industrial Designer software provides greater design power because I can leverage both ways of working and utilize the approach best-suited to different parts of the design.”
“Our Software Lead Felix Gundlack leveraged the open SOLIDWORKS API to create the transfer protocol that allows our online application to communicate with SOLIDWORKS. By doing this, customers receive live feedback on how the prosthetic will look. This automation sets us apart from other companies that spend a lot of time individualizing each order.”
