645 SolidWorks Testimonials

“Thanks to SOLIDWORKS Education Edition, we won our first year challenge. We were chosen for the design and production of the mast which included a laser target-selecting pointer. And it was the Lycée Victor Duruy which had the privilege, once again with the help of SOLIDWORKS, of integrating and assembling all the elements of the Robotic Explorer Curiosity.”

“Our weapon’s brushless motor was designed to only run sensorless, so I used SOLIDWORKS PCB to develop our own sensor board, which resulted in a 60 percent reduction in our motor’s spin-up time. I was able to develop the first version of our sensor board in less than a week and ultimately improve our weapon performance. SOLIDWORKS gives us all of the tools and functionality that we need to move quickly and design accurately.”

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

"SolidWorks gives us the integrated tools that we need to make sure that they [Chernobyl robotic cranes] will do the job while requiring only minimal service.”

“We reached the point at which we had to get into the 3D realm just to get the job done. Time is the driving point of pressure in our market, and we must find ways to help us deliver high reliability cranes and robotic systems to a strict schedule.”

"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."

“SolidWorks software is a lot more user-friendly, and makes it easier to understand what the software is doing in terms of real-world applications. When it came to generating concepts and ideas, everyone used SolidWorks software to quickly gain a visual understanding of the design.”

“SolidWorks software is a superior product. It is much faster and easier to design and build individual parts and assemblies in SolidWorks software, and the motion simulation helped us reduce mistakes and the number of prototypes required.”

“SolidWorks soft ware was the CAD system used by three of our most successful teams. One team is responding to the Blind Driver Challenge issued by the National Federation of the Blind, another is developing the fi rst humanoid robot in the United States, and a third won two fi rst-place design innovation awards—from the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) and the Compressed Air and Gas Institute—for the RAPHaEL compressed air robotic hand.”

"SOLIDWORKS is a great CAD package because it makes us fast. The world moves fast, and we have to move faster to stay ahead of the competition. SOLIDWORKS is a key differentiator because we can maintain the speed that is critical to our success as the company grows."

“We do a lot of inventing and prototyping, and often may iterate on a part five times in a single day. SOLIDWORKS fits well with our approach. We’ve actually printed parts designed in SOLIDWORKS on one of our 3D printers for use on another 3D printer, a case in which the 3D printer prints parts of itself.”

"We can pre-route the wires digitally [in SOLIDWORKS] and go around any sharps or dangerous components. It really helps us plan our production and our material use for each vehicle."

“The SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation studies enabled us to customize the tool by putting a band around the bit, so that two-thirds or more of the air went down the shaft, We needed an adequate split of air to let the cuttings fall by gravity, where the trapped miners kept busy clearing about eight dump-truck loads of spoil. SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation allowed us to recon gure the tool and reach the miners faster.”

“The SOLIDWORKS 3D design environment has allowed us to streamline development and cut design cycles in half because we can better visualize and evaluate part designs and assemblies, and eliminate processes that are no longer necessary.”

"I used to spend an entire day creating and updating engineering drawings after changes to the design were made. With SOLIDWORKS MBD software, I can publish information-rich 3D PDFs with all of the information required for manufacturing in about 10 minutes per part."
