Challenges of the High Tech Industry

Today’s marketplace for high tech electronics—from consumer electronics to power and control instruments—demands smaller, lighter weight products with increased functionality and advanced features.

SolidWorks 3D design solutions provide the full range of modeling, simulation, visualization, and communication software. Integrated, easy-to-use capabilities—including PCB packaging, housing design, thermal analysis, and ECAD integration—help electronic products manufacturers quickly develop highly sophisticated designs and deliver products with lower cost, higher reliability, and faster time to market.

By deploying SolidWorks, Garmin has reduced its design cycle by 50 percent, improved the aesthetics of its products, has cut two-to-three weeks from tooling development, and has achieved a leadership position in the GPS consumer market.

"SolidWorks has given our new concept development team a tremendous boost. We no longer have to fool around with a fillet here or a cut there and can push the envelope on geometric shapes and surfacing. SolidWorks enabled us to go from bulky to sophisticated product designs very quickly and has played a major role in contributing to our success."
