“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 …

“After a search on the type of robot to build, students quickly use SOLIDWORKS for the design part of the project. They can familiarize themselves with the basic CAD techniques: drawing, 3D, design of complete assemblies and simulation, and all this, in English. The work presents a real teaching interest, …

“Transferring to SolidWorks was the only logical consequence to ensure that we give our students the best job prospects.”

“Typically you would get in, measure it, get out, and fit a piece. Instead Parsons got in the vehicle and did a 3D scan of the inside of the chassis, and imported that data file into SOLIDWORKS. Then we build the roll cage around that 3D model that we scanned. …

“We wanted to build a solar vehicle that was uniquely Singapore-designed and built, but still retained the look and feel of a commercial vehicle, It was a long journey to reach this level of design, experience and technology –six years, three races, more than nine different prototypes, including solar cars …

“SolidWorks provided the design capabilities that we needed to grow the business.”

“By automating design and manufacturing processes, SolidWorks has helped us cut development costs by 50 percent.”

“SOLIDWORKS integrated FEA has given us the tools we need to shorten cycle times and improve machine performance considerably.”

“We have signifi cantly transformed our working methods in only two years, which has a very direct effect on our company’s results. Dassault Systèmes SOLIDWORKS technology helps us to maintain our market positioning, with the assurance that we are working along the right lines to offer our clients innovative and …

“The process of taking a drawing file directly from SketchUp, creating an image, and making modifications was the most straightforward and efficient with SOLIDWORKS Visualize. After evaluating SOLIDWORKS Visualize, we didn’t need to look at anything else.”

"I can talk about a concept in the morning, and then use SOLIDWORKS Visualize to create and show a completely rendered image of it later that afternoon. That’s the rendering performance that our industry now not only expects but demands."

“Now we are able to apply new ideas to designing a completely efficient compact feed mill without all the trial and error of making prototypes.”

“The corner treatment of weldments is truly awesome, because it gives us a clear idea of the joints.”

“I’ve always enjoyed listening to music on high-fidelity sound systems, As an engineer, I was always curious about the technology behind the system. I was always taking my transistor radios apart and putting them together with different parts in an effort to produce a better sound. This pursuit of perfection …

“Using SolidWorks, it only takes us half the time to go from an initial design concept to an actual prototype. We’re achieving these efficiency improvements while maintaining the high levels of quality for which we are known.”
