“We can easily save our SolidWorks software 3D models as STL files for quick 3D printing on the Z Corporation 3D printer or any rapid prototyping device.”

“SOLIDWORKS Education Edition is the full package for engineering education and is easy to learn, which allows us to broaden student training. The integration between simulation, fl uid-fl ow analysis, motion analysis, and plastic injection simulation, all within a parametric model, enables us to provide students with the complete design-throughmanufacturing …

“Solidworks is perfect for our molding work. And because Solidworks products are used in various departments within the business, there are no interdepartmental difficulties. Any technical queries are answered quickly by the Armada Yazilim staff as we produce our designs.”

“The system had to be designed to operate with different feeders, conveyors, and manual assembly systems. The project also involved creating an assembly of approximately 600 components in a relatively small space, We envisioned the Viper as a robotic cell on an assembly line or as a standalone assembly station. …

“Solidworks gives us the tools that we need to not only design these types of complex shapes but also develop the molds and tooling required to produce them.”

“We conducted a four-month benchmark evaluation during which we tested and rated each application. SOLIDWORKS was the clear winner of that benchmark and is helping us consistently achieve our product development goals.”

"It becomes nearly impossible to manage everything in these massive layouts, especially using conventional tools. Details got lost, and the system would eventually crash [or crash at startup]."

"Having access to SOLIDWORKS tools is a terrific benefit for Fab Lab users, whether they are students or entrepreneurs. The growth of our Fab Lab network is very exciting—there are currently about 1,000 Fab Labs in 87 countries on the official list, with the number of labs doubling every year …

“We used SOLIDWORKS software to work with two brothers who had the idea for the DryGrip to produce prototypes for certification by the governing golfing body and to secure a patent. We also used SOLIDWORKS to help them balance battery power requirements with the right combination of heat and compressed …

“The Fab Lab program has worked well for us, because most of our students who use SOLIDWORKS attend classes at night, leaving the lab available for workshops, summer camps for young students, and work by inventors/entrepreneurs during the day.”

“I used the top-down assembly design method, interference detection, and fast correction functions in SOLIDWORKS and Fab Lab Padova’s 3D printer and CNC machine—to develop and manufacture the motorcycle in a shorter period of time.”

“SOLIDWORKS Simulation Premium software really helped us address a range of structural issues related to reducing weight while maintaining structural integrity and safety. We ran lots of optimization loops to take mass out of the vehicle. The SOLIDWORKS analysis tools enabled us to reach a design that is lighter, stronger, …

“Parts of our bike required numerous iterations and microiterations. Doing our testing virtually with SOLIDWORKS simulation literally saved hundreds of part prototypes and one or two complete prototype builds.”

“We are, by the nature of our business, multitaskers. We move from project to project very quickly and often need to juggle more than one project at a time. Using SolidWorks Enterprise PDM, we can manage different projects and data more effectively. In addition to tightening revision control, the software …

"SolidWorks CAD software allows us to collaborate on designs efficiently and accurately with our suppliers, which reduces production times and lets us quickly begin testing the boat on the water."
