White Electronic Designs Corporation – Illuminating Enhanced Flat-Panel Display Design with SolidWorks Office Premium (pdf)
Since implementing SolidWorks Office Premium software in early 2004, migrating from Autodesk Inventor and CADKEY, DSD engineers have used the software for design modifications and new product design. By using SolidWorks software on the design of a new industrial-type monitor for use in factory settings, they were able to meet an ambitious seven-week design deadline, cutting the design cycle by 35 percent.
Mann + Hummel Hydromation N.V. – SolidWorks Accelerates Coolant Filtration System Design (pdf)
Mann + Hummel Hydromation chose to migrate to SolidWorks from Autodesk Inventor 3D design software because of its large assembly, configuration, and sheet-metal design capabilities. Using SolidWorks configurations, the company has reduced its design cycles by at least 30 percent and shortened the time required to make design changes by 90 percent.
MSD Ignition – Sparking Ignition Component Mold Development with SolidWorks Office Professional (pdf)
After using Inventor software for two years, MSD Ignition started looking for a 3D CAD package with greater mold development power. MSD chose to migrate to SolidWorks Office Professional software for all new product development because of its dedicated mold development tools, greater modeling power, better quality support, and advanced surfacing and configuration capabilities. MSD boosted mold throughput by over 25 percent.
VG Power AB – Setting New Standards in hydroelectric Generator Design with SolidWorks Office Premium (pdf)
Having used 2D design techniques for generator design, the company’s founders understood how a 3D-based design platform could save time and money, as well as support innovations and quality improvements in generator design. The company evaluated the available 3D CAD systems before narrowing the choice to four: Autodesk inventor, I-DEAS, Solid Edge, and SolidWorks. VG Power selected the SolidWorks mechanical design system because it handled large assemblies well, represented the best value in terms of capabilities for the price, was the easiest to learn and use, and provided access to a comprehensive set of add-on applications.
