“I’m a big believer in utilizing SOLIDWORKS certifi cation tests in the course that I teach because they challenge students to apply their knowledge. Students also leave with more than a two-year degree—they leave with certifi cation of their ability to wield a widely used tool, which in many cases is the most tangible thing that they have.”
”There is no question about it. We do save both time and money thanks to the computer simulations in SolidWorks.”
“SolidWorks software has enabled an incredible improvement in our final products in terms of detail, quality, and flexibility.”
"SOLIDWORKS Composer represents a major step up from what we’ve been able to offer, and our customers are as excited as we are about the possibilities."
"SolidWorks enables us to solve a lot of potential design problems in software instead of during assembly or through track testing, which can be very expensive."
“We used capabilities of SolidWorks software to help highlight design challenges in a fiberglass architectural ceiling system at The Plaza Theater in El Paso, Texas. We were able to quickly demonstrate what the adjustable acoustic ceiling system would look like from several vantage points within the theater, allowing for a quick and easy discussion of possible design enhancements for aesthetics and manufacturability. Once the design was finalized, the solid model was sent directly to our mold-maker to produce the tooling needed to produce the fiberglass panels.”
“We still give quizzes to make sure the students watch the lectures, but by providing students with the opportunity to learn and use SOLIDWORKS to design and simulate actual products, we are reinforcing the physics, plastic flow, and mathematical concepts contained in the lectures. Instead of just memorizing equations, students now have the chance to learn how to form and apply equations by establishing the input parameters for SOLIDWORKS Plastics mold-filling simulations.”
“We have been able to achieve our product growth objectives because SolidWorks allows us to focus on design. We’re not interested in exerting more effort to learn about software. We want our thinking to concentrate on the products that we are trying to design, not the tools used to design them. SolidWorks helps us achieve that focus.”
“Solidworks was simply the best solution for introducing 3D design across Brudden.”
"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.”
“Since SolidWorks software has become so standard we can export files as either SLAs or CAD models for use by our vendors and partners.”
“By standardizing on SOLIDWORKS, we’ve found it much easier and faster to complete product design cycles. Modeling parts and assemblies more quickly—using mates and assembly capabilities—enables us to support greater throughput without having to add resources. With SOLIDWORKS, we can design a new slide in just three or four days.”
“The ability to quickly create and send eDrawings files to customers has been extremely helpful. We use eDrawings to highlight specific features and dimensions with customers, who can then view the model, rotate it to evaluate a design from all perspectives, and indicate requested changes or unique requirements without the need for a CAD system. This helps us refine designs well in advance of production, resulting in faster throughput and more satisfied customers.”
“Solidworks Industrial Designer software provides all of the capabilities of other sketching and surfacing packages without their limitations. The software has allowed us to cut design time by 60 percent, which gives us time to create more concepts.”
