“My life has been about music and my quest to create the ultimate electric guitar. We designed the Fusion Guitar to be the 21st century guitarists’ gateway to enjoyable musical expression anywhere and anytime. Combining the Fusion with iOS guitar apps unleashes amazing possibilities for learning, creating, performing, and sharing …

“The biggest benefit of the SOLIDWORKS PDM implementation is that we now have one version of the truth. SOLIDWORKS PDM allows us to automatically replicate our vault to other design offices and manufacturing facilities around the world, which ensures that we are using the same data, rules, and workflows across …

“SOLIDWORKS provided a big boost, and helped us to sustain our growth pattern through greater design productivity and flexibility.”

"We now have a consistent way of getting data in and generating accurate designs using design tables and configurations."

“We are now using the PDM software both for revision and electronic data control, which enables us to have the electronic backups needed for meeting FDA (Food and Drug Administration) requirements.”

“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 …

"It becomes nearly impossible to manage everything in these massive layouts, especially using conventional tools. Details got lost, and the system would eventually crash [or crash at startup]."

“The ability to create compelling photorealistic renderings and 3D animations of our systems gives us a real leg up. We use design visuals in our product literature, marketing materials, and technical instructions, but where they really have an impact is during the sales process. Whenever we can get our design …

“By gaining a better understanding of the physics involved, we developed a more efficient system. Simulation capabilities provide a huge benefit and give us a real competitive advantage.”

“In the water treatment industry, lead-time is often more important than price. With the combined SolidWorks and TactonWorks solution, once our proposal is accepted, design goes through engineering in just a few days, then out to fabrication. This type of automation has been a key factor in our business growth.”

“Management wanted to ramp up new product development, so we needed to acquire 3D design, simulation, and communication tools to achieve efficiency and productivity gains to support that effort."

“Using SOLIDWORKS and SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation, we not only come to understand where areas of turbulence damage the clean flows that we need, but also determine how changes to the valve design can smooth the flow, reducing prototyping and machining costs. In just a few minutes, our engineers can use …

"SolidWorks CAD software eliminates mistakes that are difficult to detect in 2D drawings."

"We added SOLIDWORKS Simulation Professional structural analysis software to determine and evaluate the load limitations in terms of stress and deflection of our vertical racking system designs. This is one of many examples of how SOLIDWORKS tools are helping us to grow the business and extend our range of capabilities."

“With the SOLIDWORKS API, we were able to give EPDM data cards their own workflows for releasing designs to manufacturing— all linked through references. We put the manufacturing due dates, type of process, routing, and even paint color in EPDM. When Engineering releases a design to Manufacturing, the system automatically …
