“This was the first major project that I completed in SolidWorks software. After using this software, I would never go back to anything else.”
“In the water treatment industry, lead-time is often more important than price. With the combined SolidWorks and TactonWorks solution, once our proposal is accepted, design goes through engineering in just a few days, then out to fabrication. This type of automation has been a key factor in our business growth.”
“Most of our business is based on custom development of mill relining systems. Each grinding mill is different and requires a custom, one-off design. However, we believed that 3D would ultimately let us utilize a range of standard components, configurations, and subassemblies, and that eventually we would be able to further automate the design and configuration of each system. Moving to 3D would allow us to speed up turnaround on proposal development, design, production, and assembly."
“With just two hours of training on how to use 3DVIA Composer, we were able to create section and detail drawings and disassembly and assembly procedure animations, creating effective presentations in a short amount of time to win the order for this project.”
"Because SOLIDWORKS is a full-featured, integrated product development environment, it helps us design very quickly and competitively, thanks to an extensive range of technologies and tight integration between all of the modules that we use across the entire order lead- time. The seamless integration of all SOLIDWORKS solutions used by Baltur has resulted in significant co-engineering time reductions."
“We started using SolidWorks software when we won a job that required SolidWorks software data as the delivered CAD format. Our headquarters in Nashville, Tennessee, was already implementing the software, so we made the decision to transition to 100 percent SolidWorks 3D CAD software at our Phoenix facility.”
“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. Either way, we needed to fit the system into a tight space. We were given a 650 millimeter envelope, and had to shoehorn the system into that envelope.”
“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.”
"We believed that using Inventor and CADKEY software was holding us back in some respects. We were looking for a single system that was easier to use, more capable, and better suited to meeting our needs and goals and found SolidWorks CAD software."
“Using SOLIDWORKS FEA and CFD analysis capabilities, we can conduct 10 virtual tests on 10 different design options in one month. Doing the same thing with actual tests—the way we used to do it—would take at least three months and tens of thousands of euros. We have shortened our prototyping/testing cycles and cut their costs by 99 percent through the use of SOLIDWORKS structural and CFD simulations.”
“With SOLIDWORKS Industrial Designer software, you don’t have to think about how to build a shape and have the unconstrained freedom to explore new concepts and innovative ideas.”
“In other words, if you screw up, you might hurt yourself. This is the magic elixir of what makes you feel alive.”
“Having access to SOLIDWORKS solutions at Greentown Labs helped to shorten our design cycle time and enabled us to collaborate more effectively.”
“With SolidWorks solutions, we have progressed from designing products more efficiently to managing global design data more effectively to considering the environmental ramifications of our products. It’s clear that we chose the right partner to support our long-term product development goals.”
“The economic value of reducing manufacturing waste is significant. It costs money when you produce garbage. Once we cleaned up our internal operations, we looked outwardly at the products that we make and their environmental impacts.”
