645 SolidWorks Testimonials

"While we initially thought our reasons for moving away from Inventor involved data management and support, we discovered that we were also short on capabilities."

"With the automation that we’ve achieved integrating SOLIDWORKS with our ERP system, our designers only have to worry about working on the design and getting that job done properly. It’s much easier to visualize and model these designs in SOLIDWORKS, and we’ve been able to automate fabrication by employing MBD techniques."

“Elastomer simulation tools are critically important for advancing Pronal’s capabilities. Our experience in offshore development demonstrates just how effectively Pronal can use SOLIDWORKS Simulation Premium software to develop better products and grow the company globally.”

“With SolidWorks, we are improving quality and eliminating unnecessary costs while we stay on the cutting edge.”

“Whether we are using simulation to meet restrictive weight requirements, PhotoView 360 to create photorealistic renderings, SOLIDWORKS eDrawings to communicate with customers, or SOLIDWORKS Composer to accelerate documentation development, SOLIDWORKS provides us with the full range of tools that we need to continue leading the way in the development of innovative inflatable and semi-rigid boats.”

“SOLIDWORKS software fits perfectly within our development process of investigating client needs, conceptualizing a solution, visualizing design concepts, prototyping optimized designs, and facilitating production.”

“Being around other clean technology innovators, sharing the use of advanced hardware, and having access to the complete suite of SOLIDWORKS tools has really helped to speed up development and prototyping.”

“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 SolidWorks facilitates this process. In one instance, SolidWorks animations allowed us to understand how we could let our batteries slide from side to side with the motion of the boat to improve performance.”

"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.”

"We have become convinced that SolidWorks has the best vision for applying 3D productively."

“With SolidWorks software we do collision detection and interference checking up front. We also use configurations to develop different combinations of assemblies based on customer requirements. Using SolidWorks software, we have dramatically reduced engineering change orders (ECOs) and associated costs.”

“Barry-Wehmiller Companies has an acute need to handle large assemblies efficiently. The largest machines have 6,000 to 7,000 parts and some systems can total 20,000 to 30,000 individual components. Using SolidWorks software has helped improve processes and visualization of assembly interaction before producing a single part.”

“With SOLIDWORKS Industrial Designer software, you don’t have to think about how to build a shape and have the unconstrained freedom to explore new concepts and innovative ideas.”
