SolidWorks 2010 Mechanical Equipment industry solution

Mechanical Equipment industry solution

Companies who design mechanical equipment in today’s competitive market are benefiting from implementing SolidWorks. SolidWorks is a powerful 3D CAD application that allows designers to quickly and easily produce innovative products through advanced simulation tools, reuse of previously designed work, and a library of standard parts.

Why are designers of mechanical equipment using SolidWorks?

• Because in an industry under time-pressures, companies need to create bespoke machines quickly and easily.

• Because it is easy to produce variations of previous design work from existing 2D drawings and 3D models.

• A large proportion of the content of a typical mechanical machine consists of purchased components. The SolidWorks Design Library removes the need to design a wide range of commonly used parts.

• SolidWorks validation tools allow you to identify and fix problems before the machine is even built.

• Because SolidWorks can provide easy links to computer aided manufacture (CAM) and create a bill of materials for assembly and testing.

• Because SolidWorks can utilise the 3D assembly model to quickly create project documentation.

• With SolidWorks Simulation, you can determine how components behave under operation, thereby avoiding field failures.

• SolidWorks Motion allows you to fully understand the kinematics and dynamics of the design.

Here are some mechanical machinery companies getting ahead of the competition through use of SolidWorks:

Fix-A-Form

Fix-a-Form products combine an ordinary printed leaflet with a self-adhesive label to create a leaflet label or multi-page label. The bespoke machinery they produce is used by label manufacturers to produce an extensive range of high-quality, cost-effective, custom printed labels.
