"Now we can go from a napkin-drawn concept to a prototype in just 12 weeks compared to six months before implementing a PDM system – and with a far higher degree of accuracy."

“To cover more ground and bett er prepare students for work in industry, we sought to tie in our Foundations class with the courses that follow, We wanted to give students the necessary tools to not only visualize a design but also communicate with engineers and work with manufacturing techniques to build their own creations.”

“By making the switch to SOLIDWORKS, we have cut our design cycle from 16 weeks to less than 12 weeks. We used to create three prototypes prior to deciding on a production model; now, we only need one. This has saved a minimum of 160 man hours and substantial prototyping costs on a single project.”

“While we buy all of our robots from ABB, the robots represent just one part of our custom automation systems. We add value by using the robots to invent new manufacturing processes through the design, fabrication and installation of all of the ancillary equipment, mechanical controls, interface tools and operational software. Because we can use integrated SOLIDWORKS tools to collaboratively create our mechanical designs and electrical schematics, we are able to develop our value-add systems as efficiently and cost-effectively as possible.”

“Using SOLIDWORKS Simulation tools helped us save a ton of time and money during product development.”

"SolidWorks has been a great change from our previous CAD software. It helped us to quickly create concepts, review them in vivid 3D detail with NASA, and develop a very sophisticated design."

“Although we needed 2D drawings for production, we also had to communicate with ESA and NASA partners, as well as address how the MARES system would operate and fit within the close confines of the ISS’s European Columbus Module. In short, we had to use a 3D design tool to satisfy these requirements.”

“The diversity of SOLIDWORKS as our main design platform gives us a distinct advantage. Where some jobs are purely industrial engineering, many are heavily led by aesthetics. SOLIDWORKS continually blows minds of my artist and graphic design partners this lets us into a niche where the engineering designer can devise or develop aesthetics to a standard that often would demand a conventional artist’s skills. Crucially this approach seriously reduces lead time because even from early project stages, we are designing for manufacture feasibility, yet to a standard of aesthetic that is top of its game. This means a client can go straight into making things without the inevitable compromises and delays to realisation.”

"Using the simulation capabilities of SolidWorks Premium, we can do more prototyping in software and produce fewer physical prototypes."

“SOLIDWORKS solutions helped us create the design for the best power meter in the world. There are nearly a thousand parts and assemblies in the unit. With SOLIDWORKS, we were able to deliver a product that is number one in the market in record time.”

"The students took to SOLIDWORKS right away they soak it up like a sponge and immediately began creating complex designs using 3D parametric modeling. We’ve always had strong placement numbers because manufacturers have experience with the quality of our graduates. Even though many companies are willing to invest in training for topnotch recruits, our focus on SOLIDWORKS has allowed many of our students to go right into industry and integrate themselves much faster than if they didn’t acquire SOLIDWORKS skills."

“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.”

"I can pull up my designs on a tablet and take it to a meeting. From my phone I can run a quick simulation that’s already set up. If I want to run a simulation, I don't need the actual hardware to run it. I love the 3DEXPERIENCE platform because it allows me to do my job with my co-workers in such a fast and clean way where not only do I get my job done quicker, but I get it done better."

“It’s a Lot Easier and Faster to Design Parts Within an Assembly With Solidworks Software.”

"Due to our success in increasing efficiencies using the SOLIDWORKS platform, we’ve now made it mandatory for all of our designers to pass either the Certified SOLIDWORKS Professional [CSWP] or Certified SOLIDWORKS Expert [CSWE] exam. We made these certifications a requirement because we believe we can increase efficiency further by raising the level of our designers’ SOLIDWORKS skills."
