The Challenge
The business challenge at Highvolt is to cut the time for designing and developing products. It's also important to achieve a fast return on investments. From a technical standpoint, a 3D CAD system must be PC-based and run on the Windows operating system. The company's basic needs include modeling and drafting capabilities.
The Solution
Highvolt evaluated several CAD programs in terms of capability and efficiency. The company also assessed the company, its customers, and the value the software provides for the price. SolidWorks won on most of the selection criteria. The main advantages of SolidWorks CAD software are its compatibility with Windows and MS-Office, and its ease of use. SolidWorks has achieved dynamic progress, leading to a more refined, modern CAD program. SolidWorks CAD software provides the capabilties we need and it has the best price-value ratio.
