SOLIDWORKS Case Studies

Solid Solutions is very proud of the strong relationships we have with our customers. We hope that by sharing stories about what can be achieved with SOLIDWORKS we can provide inspiration, and help others to discover new ways to improve their business.

Below you will find a selection of the latest SOLIDWORKS case studies from our 17,500+ customers across the U.K. and Ireland.

Dromone Engineering

SOLIDWORKS Design, SOLIDWORKS PDM

"We use a wide range of SOLIDWORKS features. Everything from sheet metal to simulation for stress analysis to animations for customer instructions. SOLIDWORKS isn't just a CAD tool for us. It's an integral part of our innovation process."

"Solid Solutions support has been, a valuable resource to us. Right throughout the PDM implementation even with our progression of that system, since, it's always very prompt."

Dolphin Solutions

SOLIDWORKS Design, DriveWorks

"Now we've got the automation, all those production files are created without any need for the design team to even see the job, which has made a huge difference on resource."

"Our experience with Solid Solutions has been a very positive one throughout the whole journey of installing DriveWorks, right from getting a demonstration of how DriveWorks works, to time on time on site helping us install the right software and actually installing DriveWorks, to then supporting as we worked on our user forms and all of our models for DriveWorks."

Loughanes Joinery

SOLIDWORKS Design, SWOOD Design/CAM

"SOLIDWORKS gave us more flexibility, you can literally draw anything in SOLIDWORKS and Swood is obviously a great add-on."

"We just felt was a better fit for us with the bespoke nature of our products. And with our supply chain, it helped us send the drawings to our suppliers, which in turn speeded up the process. They didn't have to redraw what we've already drawn, so it made everyone's life easier."

PEEQUAL

SOLIDWORKS Design, SOLIDWORKS Visualize

"We really needed to model different loads of different ways our design can be set up and distributed... especially when we're talking to our customers before having the product ready, we've been able to show them so much."

"Having those kind of skills that we can pull on when we need them it just takes us to a whole new level. So as mentioned, SOLIDWORKS did help us raise that first investment round, which enabled us to manufacture our product to scale really professionally done."

The Imagination Factory

SOLIDWORKS Design, eDrawings, SOLIDWORKS Visualize

"We've been able to access the support and training that solid solutions provides. In particular, we've been investing in the training passports for our staff, which means they get access to a whole load of, training courses. And then also they can just get on the phone whenever they need some help."

"We can create things within SOLIDWORKS And then you use the Visualize part of the package to create photo realistic renderings. And those are really helpful, not just for us to communicate to the client, but for them to communicate to the outside world as well."

Gravity Industries

SOLIDWORKS Design, SOLIDWORKS Visualize

"We're actually designing the parts and Visualize is fantastic because while we're reviewing each design with the team, especially the new ones, we're trying to make look really cinematic and movie-like, because part of designing a jetsuit is you've got to make it look cool.

So we'll use Visualize to do a quick render of it, show it to people, and everyone can give their view on both the design and how the thing's actually looking."

More from the TriMech Group

Solid Solutions are part of the TriMech Group, a global organisation focused on delivering design, engineering and manufacturing solutions. Below are a few more success stories from TriMech group customers based in the U.K.

Vertical Aerospace

3DEXPERIENCE - TriMech Enterprise

"We realized that we were not looking just for a CAD package, it was a whole PLM package, and I think what they demonstrated to us, it would meet what we needed from a CAD tool but, it would take us beyond what we have previously used before with a PLM tool."

"I have to say what an awesome team they were, they right away came and helped us and they opened that door to Dassault for us. And let us into the subject matter experts and helped us configure the platform for the functionality that it has and that's awesome.

You can't do it without partnerships, through these really knowledgeable companies, and TriMech for us are awesome."

Natural History Museum

3DPRINTING Services - 3DPRINTUK

"So having that trust to work with a supplier who is really happy to have a phone call with you and talk you through the differences, explain to you what it's going to be in layman's terms, rather than the scientific tech that the nylon is all described in was really helpful."

"And it was just an inquiry to see whether it was possible to do and working out what the potential solution might be. To see it all come together was really amazing."

Noel Sharpe

3D Scanning - Solid Print3D

"The 3D scanner is absolutely amazing. Blown away by how quickly it worked in the speed mode. And the details are just perfect. I couldn't ask for a better product. Brilliant and much more accurate than I need to build the frame, so hopefully that's going to save a lot of effort."

"And if I was in the market for a scanner of this, I don't think I'd find a better level of service from any other company in the UK."
