"For VMI, the development of SolidWorks Electrical is the most important SolidWorks innovation. Each of our machines is based on a combination of mechanical and electrotechnical components. That combination is exactly what SolidWorks Electrical is designed to do: to facilitate interaction between these two disciplines."

“In our business, the best measure of efficiency is the ability to create custom parts and assemblies that fit together correctly the first time. SOLIDWORKS greatly increases the odds that we consistently achieve that goal, not just during initial assembly but also whenever we need to produce replacement parts for …

“There are several important SOLIDWORKS capabilities that help us achieve our new product development goals. We have quite a few sheet metal parts, and SOLIDWORKS sheet metal functionality saves time. The SOLIDWORKS draft analysis tool speeds up design for manufacturability [DFM] of molded parts. We also leverage SOLIDWORKS interference checking …

“The whole project would be impossible without an easy-tolearn CAD system, and SOLIDWORKS has allowed us to build upon the work of past teams to grow, improve, and become more competitive.”

“Using SOLIDWORKS and SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation, we not only come to understand where areas of turbulence damage the clean flows that we need, but also determine how changes to the valve design can smooth the flow, reducing prototyping and machining costs. In just a few minutes, our engineers can use …

“The ability to model our assembly designs in 3D using SOLIDWORKS, and then evaluate the assembly to identify critical areas that need improvement prior to testing and manufacturing the finished product has dramatically improved both the speed and quality of our development processes. SOLIDWORKS enables us to bring higher quality …

"I used SOLIDWORKS to design and check the linkages and cams, and did the same when working with optical and actuator systems. And when we need to make changes, they are quick and easy because of the parametric nature of SOLIDWORKS a change at the part level automatically updates associated …

“Designing six products over five years, bringing them to life, selling hundreds of products, winning international awards, and participating in trade fairs was challenging. SOLIDWORKS was indeed one of our most essential tools. We combine the highest performance machines with aesthetic design and confidently continue on our road to becoming …

“We conduct thorough static and dynamic analyses and assess inter-part relationships using SOLIDWORKS, and our project management activities are facilitated by the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.”

“We have brought multidisciplinary work to the cloud environment; this transition enables us to solve electronic, cabling, and mechanical design [issues] more easily and quickly.”

“The students must succeed in grasping all the problems and all the constraints so they are able to make the best possible use of SOLIDWORKS solutions.”

“I loved power tools, and making and repairing things, like fixing my bike, building the background for my sixth-grade science fair project, or running the phone line extension required to put a telephone in my room. Although I studied career development in depth, I gained an understanding of the value …

"SOLIDWORKS Plastics Premium software provides the advanced capabilities such as post-filling, cycle optimization, cooling analysis, and warp prediction that allow us to simulate complex mold scenarios, accelerate customer time-to-market, and reduce internal launch costs."

“Between the customizable report generation tools in Smap3D and SOLIDWORKS eDrawings files, we can now more clearly and thoroughly communicate the need to make a design change, which facilitates customer comprehension and approval. The SOLIDWORKS/Smap3D solution improves the clarity and accuracy of documentation and communication throughout the entire process chain.”

“The students get a real kick out of creating 3D CAD models and designs, but the software has to be intuitive enough to keep them motivated and engaged. Many InvenTeams are working after school, so they need tools that are easy to use, and not intimidating. SolidWorks software has served …
