"Before we implemented SOLIDWORKS Electrical software, there were two different workflows and two separate bills of materials (BOMs) for electrical and mechanical design. Now, we have a single platform, one workflow, and a unified BOM for everyone, which results in fewer mistakes and misunderstandings and greater attention to the overall …

“We used to need different programs for specific tasks, such as surfacing and analysis.”

"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 …

“I realized how important it is to have students use parametric 3D CAD soft ware so that they can actually work and partner with local manufacturing companies. That way, we can combine classroom instruction with practical, real-world experience.”

“The speed with which I can churn out sheet metal designs with SOLIDWORKS has surprised our fabricator, who said my output is more than what three of his designers could produce. That’s the type of productivity that is helping grow the company.”

“I knew that SolidWorks was a better system for working with engineering students because of the short learning curve. We have now standardized on SolidWorks for all of our engineering courses and research at Dartmouth.”

“SOLIDWORKS is absolutely fantastic. Not only are we controlling the design of the products but we are also controlling the manufacture.”

“This project shows the power of the SOLIDWORKS Community. We brought together a team of specialists to address critical development needs and used SOLIDWORKS as our common language. We were under pressure to complete development quickly, and SOLIDWORKS helped us achieve our goal.”

“From what I understand, bringing a product like this to market in two years is very ambitious, and SOLIDWORKS design and PDM tools helped make it happen.”

“Our success as a company is all about making the most of critical resources by embracing advanced technology solutions like those provided by SOLIDWORKS and AMD FirePro. It gives us an advantage over competitors because we can do things faster and more cost-effectively.”

“Our manufacturing partners also prefer working with SOLIDWORKS data. In short, having access to SOLIDWORKS tools made the redesign of the charging station easier and more effi cient on all fronts.”

“We wanted a robust system that would survive the elements outdoors, but also an attractive station that would enhance and complement outdoor spaces. In addition to improving the station’s appearance and making it more durable, we wanted to make it easier to transport, set up, and break down, because many …

“Some were good, some were bad, but none was even close to perfect. The trickiest part is easily the knob, which is crucial for performance. We wanted our knob design to start with the best qualities of what already existed and then reflect our innovations.”

“NextEngine and SolidWorks software are both powerful tools that are surprisingly easy to use, and they work well together. The scanner is very reliable, and the scanning setup can be wickedly fast. In this case, I just teed it up on the AutoDrive part positioner and started shooting. Since SolidWorks …

"When our CEO approved the use of SOLIDWORKS Sell for configuring Aspire Custom orders, he commented that he’d be surprised if more than one percent of the orders that we receive would be placed through use of the configurator. To date,75 percent of Aspire Custom orders have been customized with …
