“We chose SolidWorks Premium software because CAD-integrated simulation is more efficient and better for incorporating results as part of design.”

"The move to SOLIDWORKS is really helping us bring our product development operation to the next level by enabling us to automate our design and manufacturing processes as much as possible."

“We chose SolidWorks as our development platform because it is easy to use and provides the common 3D ‘language’ required to facilitate this type of project.”

“We chose SOLIDWORKS because dollar for dollar, it’s the best 3D CAD out there. When you consider the additional integrated solutions like Electrical and PDM, we get the most bang for our buck with the SOLIDWORKS development environment.”

“While we buy all of our robots from ABB, the robots represent just one part of our custom automation systems. We add value by using the robots to invent new manufacturing processes through the design, fabrication and installation of all of the ancillary equipment, mechanical controls, interface tools and operational …

“In launching a new product development organization that is tasked with integrating the product designs of our subsidiaries into a unified effort, we needed a robust yet easy-to-use development platform."

“Many of the products that we work with were originally developed using hand drawings. SOLIDWORKS gives us the tools that we need to document and improve design concepts, validate and prototype design performance, and manufacture and assemble quality products.”

“With just two hours of training on how to use 3DVIA Composer, we were able to create section and detail drawings and disassembly and assembly procedure animations, creating effective presentations in a short amount of time to win the order for this project.”

“These FACO robots can support doctors and nurses in crisis situations. Our healthcare workers face the most risk and are susceptible to contracting the disease themselves. If doctors and nurses become infected, the population as a whole is at risk of infection as well. Remote control of the robots and …

“What Sigmund is really doing is orchestrating product development. Opinions too often set product directions, but objective data trumps opinion. We can now say, ‘Here are designs A, B, and C and the accompanying Sigmund studies. As you can see, Design B won’t meet the objective, so you’ve got to …

“With SolidWorks, we can refine the design, and then control the production of parts with a high degree of precision. SolidWorks has become the backbone of our development effort because everything revolves around the SolidWorks model.”

"I was attracted to SolidWorks because I felt that using a feature-based parametric platform would be the most productive way to get my job done."

"When we receive an order, COUNTERPART opens SOLIDWORKS and directly synchronizes the parts required for the specifi c confi guration with our other functions, including procurement, inventory management, and manufacturing operations. It generates purchase orders, work orders for our plasma table, and cut lengths for piping. A majority of our …

“Weight is a critical design issue. While a mechanical engineer is interested in structural stresses and the positioning of the drivetrain, a naval architect focuses on hydrodynamics—balancing weight for stability and maneuverability—which affects how electrical engineers position solar cells, batteries, circuits, and motors. We all have to work together, and …

“The capabilities and stability of SOLIDWORKS software have helped us to develop large, complex assemblies in the manner we originally envisioned for 3D.”
