Why Choose SolidWorks?
SolidWorks is considered one of the premier CAD packages in the world. It has a massive user base, hundreds of thousands of loyal, lifetime customers, and a backend system that makes it easy to design, engineer, and innovate with ease. Some of the specific benefits include:
Efficient design
SolidWorks is a parametric design modular. This means it’s easy to edit your design at any stage in the design process. RealView graphics give our developer team the ability to visualize the design as we would in real time. (This also provides you with sophisticated renderings that you can share with your team at every stage of the process.)
Built-in apps
SolidWorks comes with a variety of built-in applications that are intended to simplify the complex. It features analytical tools, as well as design automation that can simulate a variety of physical behaviors (like stress deflection, vibration, or even fluid flow).
Faster deliveraayPDM
The SolidWorks Product Data Management (PDM) feature means all data is securely stored within one central repository. This makes it easy to return to earlier versions at any time.
Sharing
Seamless collaboration is a major focal point of SolidWorks. All team members work within one shared data environment, which means less confusion, easier flow of information, and faster time to completion.
The DEV.co SolidWorks Development Process
Discovery
Every SOLIDWORKS project begins with a deep dive into your goals and expectations for the project. By starting with the end in mind, we’re able to uncover some of the rich nuggets of information we need to develop a CAD design that meets and exceeds your standards.
Plan
Good planning is a requirement in order to achieve successful outcomes with any SOLIDWORKS project. That’s why we take the time to develop a step-by-step plan on the front end.
Develop
This is the phase that gets our Dev.com team really excited. We’re developers at our core and we love creating, designing, and building. Because of our experience with SOLIDWORKS, this stage of the process is typically very streamlined.
Test
Finally, we go back and test/optimize according to a checklist of rigorous standards.This ensures you end up with a design that aligns with the vision we unearthed at the beginning of the process.
