“Our business consists of working with customers to create inserts, cushions, and protective products using proprietary materials, We need to create prototypes quickly and use them to drive our mold-making operations, which range from compression molds for foam, to molds for expanded urethane.”

“Our custom bodies and interior packages are primarily made from aluminum sheet metal. At one point we were doing DXF™ conversions to hand the design data off to manufacturing. Now, our CNC programmer can import the SolidWorks software solid model directly into his CNC programming package because the data is …

“It’s quite easy to place sensors, actuators, and transducers, and interface cables to the physical components. Then, we can hit the magic button that does all the wiring. SOLIDWORKS Electrical is truly a keen bit of software.”

"Making a design change is at least 50 percent faster with SolidWorks, and the enhanced visualization in 3D allows us to identify more interferences."

"With SolidWorks CAD software, we are able to design even the most difficult prosthesis at a very competitive price."

“We simply could not have developed this type of system so quickly without an integrated 3D development platform like SolidWorks.”

"With SolidWorks, we are saving time and controlling costs at practically every step of the development process, from component design to system assembly."

“Using the real-time collision detection capabilities, we are able to detect areas of collision and interference on the computer, and fix them before building a single prototype. In the past, we would have had to build a prototype of the whole assembly to understand the same thing, a costly and …

“Every year, we need to update our existing product lines as well as put new products on the shelves. The pace of our product development efforts demands a flexible yet technically powerful design package.”

"I need to share the [design] concepts with the customer for approval before manufacturing starts. But normally the customer doesn’t have SOLIDWORKS. So, with the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, I just give them access. It makes my life easier."

"SOLIDWORKS Sell is helping us to make the configuring and ordering process an interactive, enjoyable, and painless experience for customers, which helps us sell more sheds."

“With SolidWorks Simulation software, we’re minimizing the structural problems we used to deal with on the production floor.”

“From design and production to cost and customer interaction, SOLIDWORKS tools help us achieve our product development goals.”

“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 …

“Using technology to improve the bottom line is a driving principle of Automatic Handling, as is empowering our machinists and fabricators to become part of the development process. Whether it involves leveraging the SOLIDWORKS API to support a completely digital approach to production, or using webcams, microphones, and speakers to …
