"With the automation that we’ve achieved integrating SOLIDWORKS with our ERP system, our designers only have to worry about working on the design and getting that job done properly. It’s much easier to visualize and model these designs in SOLIDWORKS, and we’ve been able to automate fabrication by employing MBD …

“Because of this data migration to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform in the cloud, our data is more secure, downtime related to server woes has been eliminated, and we’re saving money at the same time. Our 3DEXPERIENCE subscription costs are less than the monthly fees we were paying to maintain a PDM …

“We have brought multidisciplinary work to the cloud environment; this transition enables us to solve electronic, cabling, and mechanical design [issues] more easily and quickly.”

“We compete on concept development and ingenuity, and SOLIDWORKS helps us to more quickly conceptualize and deliver innovative, cost-effective solutions.”

“Solidworks Industrial Designer software provides all of the capabilities of other sketching and surfacing packages without their limitations. The software has allowed us to cut design time by 60 percent, which gives us time to create more concepts.”

“With Alias and Rhino, changing the surfacing geometry to resolve performance or manufacturability issues meant we had to redo a lot of work. We’d have to start over, create new surfacing geometry that reflected the design change, and then bring the new surface geometry into SOLIDWORKS. We kept looking for …

“With SolidWorks software, the back-and-forth between industrial design and engineering takes 30 percent less time, which translates into a shorter overall development cycle and faster time-to-market for our clients.”

“Weight is a critical design issue. While a mechanical engineer is interested in structural stresses and the positioning of the drivetrain, a naval architect focuses on hydrodynamics—balancing weight for stability and maneuverability—which affects how electrical engineers position solar cells, batteries, circuits, and motors. We all have to work together, and …

“Whether we are CNC machining, 3D printing, bending sheet metal, making urethane castings, or using other manufacturing methods, the Xometry add-in to SOLIDWORKS gives us access to the cost and manufacturability information that we need to develop automation systems efficiently and cost-effectively.”

“Our robots are complex systems, requiring the integration of information from sensors related to speech, facial expressions, and body movements that results in a high level of communication and coordinated actions. Our teams need access to a complete set of 3D design and engineering tools to meet our objectives.”

“R&D had progressed to the point at which we needed to streamline processes and refine the design. In addition to needing better design, simulation, and visualization tools, the engineers that we hired had experience using one 3D system in particular. That was SolidWorks.”

“Designing the engine and main structural frame was fairly straightforward, involving generic shapes. Creating the fan blades and housings was another matter. On some parts, everything is a curve, and many are made using composite materials. SolidWorks gave us the surfacing, simulation, and flow simulation tools that we needed to …

"The company chose SOLIDWORKS software for its ease of use, which allows new engineers to get up to speed quickly.”

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

“Thanks to the ease of sharing files both internally and externally, more engineers can work on the same design project simultaneously if needed. That makes the whole department more effective and profitable.”
