Dramatically streamline product development and unite your entire team, including mechanical and electrical design, manufacturing, quality, and technical publications, on one seamlessly integrated system. Teams can work concurrently and reduce time to market, reduce costs, and improve quality.
Electronic data needs to be easy to access across many disciplines and departments. Organizations also need tools to securely backup product design data, to eliminate multiple “silos” of information, duplicate files, and unsynchronized revisions.
It is estimated that by 2020, between 50 and 100 billion devices will be connected to the Internet of Things (IoT). Companies need intelligent tools that work together so they can design and build the “smart” products today’s markets demand.
Engineering and design teams can work together concurrently, evolving product designs while validating any changes and reusing previous analysis information. This facilitates performance evaluation, quality improvement, and boosting product innovation before manufacturing.
An integrated approach to design and manufacturing is a simple way to accelerate product development. You can easily move from concept design to manufactured parts quickly when teams work together concurrently, without porting data between systems.
Leverage your design data to improve your technical communication with 3D product manufacturing information, automate creation of inspection documents, and develop high-quality user manuals and shop floor documentation.
Ensuring that other people “get it” is one of a designer’s most difficult tasks. A new idea can only get traction if it is understood and appreciated as it makes its way to becoming a finished product. You must clearly communicate at every step.
Dramatically decrease development time and manufacturing costs by implementing a Model-Based Enterprise (MBE) strategy. SOLIDWORKS MBD allows drawingless CAM, inspection, and cost estimation.
Set and meet goals for specific products or operations to better manage costs for your sheet metal and machined parts. SOLIDWORKS Costing also allows you to automate your quoting processes for manufacturing.
