Start magazine again names SolidWorks one of manufacturing's 'hottest' companies

Fourth win in five years reinforces company's market leadership and drive to make product design easier and more productive

CONCORD, Mass., July 11, 2005 ? Start , ?The Voice of The Manufacturing Executive? and one of the industry's most widely read publications, today named SolidWorks Corporation one of the ?Hottest Companies of 2005.? SolidWorks has won this award four times in five years as it continues to help engineers design better products faster.

Start 's Hottest Companies award recognizes technology vendors that have developed important innovations that benefit the manufacturing industry. Editors also consider a company's value proposition, growth record, and differentiation.

According to the editors, SolidWorks® 2005 software's 250+ customer-requested features made it among the most expansive products in its market and the only one to encompass 3D design, analysis, product data management, collaboration, and injection-molded plastic part validation software. SolidWorks software helps machine designers, mold designers, consumer product designers, and others become faster, more accurate, and more productive as they bring their innovations to market.

?Year after year, SolidWorks constantly refines its products and adds new tools based on customer input to help engineers be more creative and efficient,? said Start Editor in Chief John Buell. ?That's how it continues to lead the mainstream 3D mechanical design market and win industry accolades such as becoming one of our ?Hottest Companies.'?

SolidWorks leads the mainstream 3D CAD market in revenue and users in production as well as customer satisfaction.

?Giving engineers all of the tools they'll need ? from design, to validation, configuration, communication, and data management ? in one environment saves engineers time and expense, and minimizes errors,? said SolidWorks Vice President of Worldwide Marketing Rainer Gawlick. ?It continues to be an honor for such a widely respected publication as Start to recognize our achievements and market contributions.?
