Leading-Edge Teams Require Leading-Edge Tools

High-tech companies turn innovative ideas into groundbreaking products, driving progress across fields like IoT, consumer electronics, robotics, and mechatronics. Success in this fast-paced sector requires teams to be agile, effective and 100% accurate, in order to manage complex products and value chains.

SOLIDWORKS® has been serving high-tech companies for 30 years. Our tools address the unique challenges of developing high-tech products and help alleviate many of the industry’s common pain points.

Key Trends Impacting High-Tech Design

Today’s high-tech products are continually becoming smarter, faster, and lighter. This pattern of innovation brings increased engineering, manufacturing, and commercialization complexity. Included in that complexity is the need to balance cutting-edge design with safety and sustainability compliance and cost efficiency. With that context in mind, here are some of the most pressing trends in the high-tech industry.

Smart Product Development

IoT integration is no longer optional for consumer electronics and industrial devices. SOLIDWORKS accelerates development with tools tailored for designing connected objects/systems.

Smaller Space, Higher Power

There is a continued push to reduce the physical real estate of components like circuitry and mechanical parts to allow for higher operating power in smaller physical products.
