Great design capabilities with SolidWorks

Likeliness to Recommend

10 /10

What differentiates SOLIDWORKS from other similar products?

We made designs of any type of component quickly, and we did not have to pay for the training, because the information we needed to learn how to use it is on YouTube. Other similar software is difficult to learn, but SolidWorks is relatively easier than the others.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

I can design new ideas with SolidWorks, the functions are simple, the user interface is dynamic, I can do 2D and 3D designs with great ease and make parts that will be used and know if it will work by simulation.

What do you dislike most about this product?

It is a software with a long history, so any errors that may have had previously were corrected, currently I do not see any faults.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

You can use it quickly because it is not difficult to learn, it also has a free version.

  • Helps Innovate
  • Continually Improving Product

Likeliness to Recommend

10 /10

What differentiates SOLIDWORKS from other similar products?

If we have little time to deliver a project, let's not worry, because designing with SolidWorks is an easy task, since the training is very fast, the part modeling is comparable with other high-ranking software, we can also share our projects Through the cloud and the results in 3D printing is how we designed it in the beginning.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

I like the interface, because it is reliable when I have a team project, we share it, each member contributes something and the design from beginning to end comes out as we think. The ability to make digital designs and then turn them into real is awesome, excellent CAD / CAM, it's very professional for us and we use it on every project in mind.

What do you dislike most about this product?

I'd like it to automatically save when I'm making a design, because it's frustrating to get delayed if something goes wrong with the computer.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

It does not matter if your company is large or small, because the service package is inexpensive and very easy to use for the entire work team.
