SolidWorks in Machinery Design


Freedom of Thought and Expression for Creative Machine Design using SolidWorks

Innovation forms the heart of Machine Design.  SolidWorks find usage in varied types of machine design.  Some of the include Machine tool, packaging, material handling, presses, special purpose machines, automation equipments, manipulators, food and beverage processing to name a few.

Why is SolidWorks preferred by Machinery Manufacturers?

SolidWorks has been the choice of Design in Machinery Development worldwide for many functional reasons.  Be it flexibility, ease of use, integrated Finite Element validation, mechanism design validation, optimization of design or just concept feasibility study, SolidWorks has been providing machine designers with tools that enable them to concentrate on their designs instead of burdensome complexity in tool usage.  Designers have been able to develop better products since the emphasis has shifted from learning a CAD software to using SolidWorks in an effective manner.  Inspite of rich toolsets, functional differentiators have enabled companies to swifly decide on SolidWorks as a choice sin qua non.  Some of the reasons are:
  • Correctness and Completeness of Drawings according to ASME / ISO Standards using DimXpert
  • Design for Manufacture checks using DFMXpress
  • Configurable Designs using SolidWorks Configuration Management with Microsoft Excel Integration
  • Integrated Design Validation  using SolidWorks Simulation and SolidWorks Flow Simulation
  • Design Optimization based on Part Dimensions as Design Variables
  • Rule Based Design Automation using DriveWorks Xpress
  • Safe Transition from 2D to 3D with no need to convert legacy Data - FREE 3 DWGEditor licenses with SolidWorks
