“By designing parts and assemblies in SOLIDWORKS, 3D printing them, and then trying them out, we were able to iterate very quickly and launch the Reach a year ahead of schedule. We knew that we had something good, and our enthusiasm coupled with the efficiency of our design tools helped …

“SolidWorks streamlines the design change process. It also allows us to develop designs that we simply could not have achieved using 2D.”

“Our Software Lead Felix Gundlack leveraged the open SOLIDWORKS API to create the transfer protocol that allows our online application to communicate with SOLIDWORKS. By doing this, customers receive live feedback on how the prosthetic will look. This automation sets us apart from other companies that spend a lot of …

“We then team with 3D printing service bureaus to cost-effectively produce the custom prosthetic in polyamide 12, a standard thermoplastic that we’ve determined has very reliable material properties for this purpose, using selective laser sintering. This approach allows us to configure and produce a prosthetic anywhere in the world.”

"SOLIDWORKS enabled us to communicate effectively with our moldmaker to tweak the design and make adjustments in real time, such as doing a better job hiding parting lines."

"We are now completely compatible with most of our vendors, which makes working together much easier."

“Although CAMWorks is powerful, it’s just as easy to learn as SolidWorks software. By the end of the first day of our training (provided by SolidWorks and CAMWorks software reseller GoEngineer), we were making parts. Both pieces of software have been very intuitive and with an extremely short learning curve. …

"We looked at other CAD packages out there, but we chose SolidWorks for its ease of use and outstanding performance."

“To support the increased activity, we needed a 3D development platform that would enable us to tighten up development and manufacturing. By doing so, we could shorten delivery leadtimes and free up resources to go after new opportunities.”

“It also provided the integrated structural simulation tools that we needed to validate our products and ensure that manufacturing would go smoothly.”

"By installing SolidWorks Enterprise PDM, we keep the work flowing, which is how we make money."

“With SOLIDWORKS Premium, I can do most of the prototyping virtually, which allows me to make changes, try different approaches, and validate all of them in software, instead of building and testing costly prototypes.”

“As we’ve expanded our product line, our boiler designs have become more complicated with many more moving mechanical parts and electrical components especially with our line of wood-pellet biomass boilers for residential use. Working in 3D with SOLIDWORKS, we’re much faster and more accurate in design, which leads to clearer, …

“The transition to 3D design and iMachining via the integrated SOLIDWORKS/ SolidCAM CAD/CAM solution has enabled us to increase throughput, improve our bottom line, and grow revenue.”

"With SOLIDWORKS and SOLIDWORKS PCB software, we’ve reduced the PCA/PCB import process from a 15 to 30-minute process that resulted in ‘rough models’ of 30 percent of the components to a 5-minute import process of 100 percent of the components at 100 percent accuracy. It’s a game changer. This transition …
