How can we design better products using SolidWorks?
You think in three dimensions. Your products are three-dimensional. So doesn’t it make sense to design them in 3D?
When you design and model in 3D with SolidWorks® software, your products will work better, look better, and last longer. But don’t just take our word for it—in a 2006 MIT survey of SolidWorks users, 54% of respondents reported that SolidWorks helped them design better products.* Here are just a few of the ways that SolidWorks products will help you design better products, faster.
Put the focus on design: By simplifying the 3D design process, SolidWorks can help all users become more productive. Instead of remembering complex rules, your design team can focus on creating better products, not using the software.
Test it before you build it: SolidWorks SimulationXpress is a design validation tool that’s included with every copy of SolidWorks 3D CAD. It helps you test your designs earlier in the design cycle, on-screen and against real-world conditions. This can lead to improved design quality and manufacturing efficiency, while reducing time to market, costs, and materials waste. In a different MIT survey, 66% of respondents reported improved design quality resulting from SolidWorks design validation tools.† And the best part? You don’t need a PhD in physics to use it.
Collaborate, communicate, and share data: With SolidWorks Enterprise PDM, you and your staff can share models and work with one another, suppliers, and manufacturers to refine designs, maximize accuracy, and improve production efficiency. In other words, SolidWorks plays well with others.
Work in a single application: No one likes having to open multiple applications to complete a single task. It’s slows down your computer and your creativity. Luckily, SolidWorks Premium users can work from product concept to accurate virtual prototype without ever opening another application.
It’s not all about us: At SolidWorks, we know that great ideas can come from anywhere. In fact, a growing number of SolidWorks Partners are creating applications that seamlessly integrate specialized capabilities with the SolidWorks platform. That means if there’s a special capability or add-on you’d like to have, you may be in luck! Click here to learn more about SolidWorks Partner Products.
