Why SolidWorks

When you think about SolidWorks, what comes to mind? For most people, it’s our 3D mechanical CAD (MCAD) software. And while that may be what we’re known best for, that’s not all there is to SolidWorks.

Built on 14 years of give and take with the now one million-strong SolidWorks community, SolidWorks software provides designers, engineers, and other creative professionals with all of the tools they need to design great products.

When you think SolidWorks, think:

Design creation, validation, documentation, management, and environmental impact analysis as a single streamlined process.
A simple design experience from the first sketch line to the finished 3D model.
The ability to work smarter and faster with power packed into every feature.
Rock-solid reliability in every phase of your work.
Strong bonds with the growing SolidWorks community.

Powerful

“SolidWorks gives our designers the courage to try things they wouldn’t have dared in 2D. Our designs have evolved from soapstone sketches on a concrete garage floor to 2D AutoCAD sketches, and now 3D models. That evolution has opened new doors to design creativity, streamlining routine CAD functions so we can focus on discovering new approaches to machine design.”

Larry Flatt

Executive Vice President, Bouldin & Lawson LLC

Efficient

“We put all our designs into SolidWorks, then used Simulation to determine how much material we could cut out of the design without compromising the Transition’s integrity as a road vehicle. SolidWorks let us be very precise, which was important because every ounce counts in this design.”

Samuel Schweighart

Vice President of Engineering and Co-Founder, Terrafugia

Business-focused

“We’ve sped up our order-to-sample time for custom work by at least 40 percent, and we’ve increased efficiency and precision by ensuring that every designer and engineer is absolutely working on the latest version of a design. SolidWorks Enterprise PDM is a great tool that supports our expansion both geographically and, through our new Suite Simplicity™ business, beyond the bathroom. It focuses on customized hospitality industry furnishing from the bathroom to the master suite, at realistic prices.”

Juan Plasencia

Vice President of Engineering, DECOLAV

Economical

“There’s an urgent demand for our products, as you might imagine, so development speed is of the essence. SolidWorks is an excellent tool that helps us work very quickly. We conserve time, money, and material resources by carefully studying all our prototypes in SolidWorks so the first physical assembly works perfectly. Our team has a long and varied design resume, including aerospace and medical, and SolidWorks was simply the logical choice. Our manufacturing partners use SolidWorks, too, so communication is simple.”
