“In the past, we would just cut rectangular shapes, create special tooling to punch out the corners, and fold the pieces up, With SOLIDWORKS, we can design whatever feature we need in the flat pattern.”

“SOLIDWORKS Electrical 3D software has allowed us to bring our entire development effort onto the same platform, saving time and enabling us to achieve additional integration and automation via our ERP system.”

"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 …

"TFT made the move to SolidWorks to support our product line expansion, and we have not been disappointed. We are saving time, developing innovative products, reducing design errors, and working more efficiently with vendors and manufacturing partners.”

“We’ve made a lot of progress in the short time.”

“The company operated without an official CAD system until 2011. While that effort certainly advanced the early-generation concepts, it was difficult and time consuming to work that way, especially as the design team grew. We needed a CAD system to support visualization and simulation in lieu of heavy prototyping, and …

“It’s not just the ability to model anything that you can imagine in SolidWorks. It’s being able to work out in SolidWorks how to pragmatically design and build your imagination.”

“Solidworks software lets us be more agile, flexible, and innovative. From an engineering standpoint, we couldn’t do what we do today without Solidworks software.”

“By enabling us to simulate and accurately predict how structural and kinematic design behavior will affect performance, SOLIDWORKS Simulation and SOLIDWORKS Motion software provide significant advantages in terms of a better project quality, which means that we produce better-performing and more reliable equipment.”

“With SolidWorks Simulation, I can identify and resolve potential issues during design, so that when we mold those initial pieces, they are right the first time. It’s an incredible tool that has let us save 30 to 60 percent in capital costs in the development of new products.”

“SOLIDWORKS has been critical in all of our product development, and it’s at the core of our mechanical engineering work.”

“We used capabilities of SolidWorks software to help highlight design challenges in a fiberglass architectural ceiling system at The Plaza Theater in El Paso, Texas. We were able to quickly demonstrate what the adjustable acoustic ceiling system would look like from several vantage points within the theater, allowing for a …

“With the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, we were able to make better use of our resources, improve collaboration, accelerate product development, and increase the quality of prototypes. The platform has thus proven to be a crucial tool for generating sustainable growth and efficiently implementing our innovations.”

“This challenge becomes increasingly difficult when developing complicated movement. SolidWorks software not only allows us to visualize individual components but also to simulate the motion of components and mechanisms, so we can avoid interference errors.”

"Using SOLIDWORKS, we have been able to reduce what would take years to months. The main reason for these productivity gains is that it’s so much easier to visualize the design and make changes in SOLIDWORKS. Custom-designed machines are our core business, which is why we use SOLIDWORKS for every …
