"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."
"Some renderers are fast but output low-quality images. Some produce great quality but take six months to learn. Others are easy to use, but take four hours to render an image. SOLIDWORKS Visualize provides the right combination of quality, speed, and ease of use, and is the best renderer for supporting our business."
"Many of our product designs comprise thousands of parts, and a single roller coaster train can contain upwards of 8,000 individual components. So we needed a system that could handle large, complex assemblies. Our goals were to shorten design cycles, improve product quality, and enhance design visualization, while reducing prototype development costs."
“The process of taking a drawing file directly from SketchUp, creating an image, and making modifications was the most straightforward and efficient with SOLIDWORKS Visualize. After evaluating SOLIDWORKS Visualize, we didn’t need to look at anything else.”
"SolidWorks CAD software produces 3D models, 2D drawings, and photorealistic renderings all in one package that is competitively priced."
“By designing parts and assemblies in SOLIDWORKS, 3D printing them, and then trying them out, we were able to iterate very quickly and launch the Reach a year ahead of schedule. We knew that we had something good, and our enthusiasm coupled with the efficiency of our design tools helped us to advance our design faster and reduce prototyping requirements on the back end.”
“We have close to 200 people collaborating on this innovative technology, and simply do not have the time to move through a slow, expensive process."
“MooBella is revolutionary in more ways than one We decided early on that we did not want a large overhead structure and could most expeditiously develop this technology working with outside suppliers. We wanted everyone involved on the SolidWorks software platform so we could share models with partners. In addition, we relied on eDrawings files to drive collaboration. The powerful capabilities of SolidWorks Premium, combined with the ease of communicating with eDrawings files and managing data with SolidWorks Workgroup PDM, brought all the disparate elements together into a high-quality, functional machine.”
"We make great use of design configurations in SolidWorks to facilitate design reuse and quickly create component designs of different lengths, heights, and travel times."
“We’re at least three months faster than everyone else. In addition to offering shorter delivery times, the fact that we’re model-based means that we can show customers what we are doing and how the pump will work. Clearly, SolidWorks gives us a competitive advantage.”
“I’m setting up and modifying the test pad to replicate each customer’s conditions. With SolidWorks, I can bring the pump model into the test pad model and see where I have to make changes or create tooling. I have to make sure that it all works when we test the pump, and SolidWorks enables us to do that in a way that saves time and money.”
“With SOLIDWORKS and ExactFlat, we can finish a pattern in an hour. This solution is saving time and money, as well as enabling us to increase throughput.”
"Having the ability to communicate with these files back and forth while traveling is really key to keeping the design process moving forward all the time."
“Using 3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS, we can access a detailed 3D CAD model of the van we’re converting, allowing us to design precise and perfectly fitting parts.”
“DELMIA CAM [Machining] has enhanced our manufacturing capabilities to produce precise parts. DELMIA has also enhanced the way that we nest files and produce parts, and has reduced turnaround cycles and the risk of errors because we can now not only nest but efficiently make changes to the nesting before cutting. This is a big change and improvement.”
