“The more testing we can do with real people to obtain feedback from actual users, the better.”

“R&D had progressed to the point at which we needed to streamline processes and refine the design. In addition to needing better design, simulation, and visualization tools, the engineers that we hired had experience using one 3D system in particular. That was SolidWorks.”

"SOLIDWORKS surfacing and large assembly design tools have allowed us not only to design faster."

“We can take a mold and use different colors to designate different surfaces, and then quickly send an eDrawings file of the mold design to a customer. By improving our design communications, we greatly reduce the likelihood of errors and misunderstandings. Because SolidWorks software is so easy to use, and …

"Our success rate is so high because we’ve validated close correlation between the results we get from SOLIDWORKS Plastics Professional and actual production, using photoelastic and microscopic analysis tools to confirm the software’s simulation results."

"The technologies are very effective for analyzing any temperature-dependent, closed system in which internal and surface temperatures are both of interest."

“Our business consists of working with customers to create inserts, cushions, and protective products using proprietary materials, We need to create prototypes quickly and use them to drive our mold-making operations, which range from compression molds for foam, to molds for expanded urethane.”

“I’m a big believer in utilizing SOLIDWORKS certifi cation tests in the course that I teach because they challenge students to apply their knowledge. Students also leave with more than a two-year degree—they leave with certifi cation of their ability to wield a widely used tool, which in many cases …

“Not only does SOLIDWORKS 3D data integrate well with CAM software, it also saves time. The software’s so easy to learn and use, and eliminates so many repetitive, time-consuming tasks, that it’s set the stage to grow our program by encompassing both design and manufacturing functions, which will help to …

“We have shortened time to market partly thanks to SolidWorks eDrawings and rendered 3D models that help us communicate design ideas internally and externally with clients.”

"With SolidWorks, we can create a model once and use design tables to create several different-sized configurations automatically."

"SolidWorks helps us design a cooler-looking product and add features a lot faster. We're at least 40 to 50 percent faster during the design cycle."

“When I have that understanding, I’m able to bring that part to conclusion just so much quicker.”

“We use the primary modeling function to design all of our parts. We generate drawings and use them to interface with manufacturers. We also use simulation to prove the design out and try to reduce weight of the design as much as possible.”

“Our vendors all used Solidworks software Solidworks was simply the most logical choice for us to take this product forward.”
