How much return on investment will we see?
We understand that for most businesses moving to a new design platform is a major investment, and it’s important to understand how it will affect your bottom line. The good news is that moving to SolidWorks will likely start paying off sooner than later.
Most companies using SolidWorks® software experience a high return on investment, low total cost-of-ownership, and significant productivity benefits. How much will depend on you and your business, but here’s an idea of what you might expect.
See increased productivity, sooner: SolidWorks is easy to learn, so your company will start seeing increases in productivity sooner than later, and tools like DWGeditor®, help you transition your existing 2D drawings into 3D models easily. In a 2006 MIT study, companies adopting SolidWorks saw productivity gains within just 2.5 months on average.
The same MIT study revealed that 69% of respondents reported that they produced design iterations in less time.* Workflow tools, file asset management capabilities, and easy integration with other technologies help your design team collaborate, save time, and reduce design errors.

Get to market faster: Design validation and virtual prototyping tools help your team produce accurate, efficient designs the first time. In the MIT survey, 54% of respondents reported reduced time-to-market, with an average reduction of 20%.* Users also reported an average 15% decrease in engineering change orders and a 25% decrease in the time spent on each one.*
