It usually starts small. A customer receives an email from a designer containing a STEP file. A supplier is invited to share a folder on Google Drive. A simple dimension question gets answered with a screenshot over WhatsApp. There is no real decision behind it; it is simply how the day-to-day work happens. Then, six…
Automotive component design is rarely a simple matter of creating a 3D model and sending it to manufacturing. Engineers are working with tight tolerances, changing material requirements, OEM specifications, cost targets, and delivery schedules that leave very little room for mistakes. That is one reason SOLIDWORKS has become a practical choice for many automotive component…
CAD software has been the precision, patience and tedious manual repetition affair for decades. That’s quickly changing. Dassault Systèmes has started rolling out LEO, an AI engineering companion designed specifically for SOLIDWORKS, and it is changing the way design, simulation and validation is done. This change is particularly important for Indian engineering teams, especially those…
Choosing between a SOLIDWORKS subscription and a perpetual license is one of the most important purchasing decisions an engineering team makes, and price alone isn’t the right place to start. The real question isn’t “which is cheaper today?” but “which is cheaper across the actual life of how we work?” Quick answer: A term (subscription)…
Building a Physical Product? Professional CAD Is No Longer the Barrier Building a tangible product. You’re well aware about the commercial licenses price of SOLIDWORKS professional grade CAD. That’s a definite obstacle for a startup hardware company that isn’t selling hardware at this point. What most founders don’t realize is that SOLIDWORKS has everything they…
The Question Every SOLIDWORKS User Is Asking Right Now You’re in a position to renew your SOLIDWORKS license or maybe you’re trying it for the first time and you’ve reached a crossroads: SOLIDWORKS Desktop or SOLIDWORKS Connected (the cloud-based version of SOLIDWORKS on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform)? The two are based on the same core CAD…
The Problem Every CAD Team Eventually Faces You are working on a complex assembly design in SOLIDWORKS Standard, then you realise you need to produce photo-realistic renders for the customer, have a common PDM to ensure people are not emailing assembly files back and forth, and be able to automatically calculate the cost of the…
When it comes to purchasing SOLIDWORKS, you have options. While it may be tempting to look for the cheapest deal online, the true value of your investment lies in the support and expertise that comes with it. This is where an authorized SOLIDWORKS Value Added Reseller (VAR) like Tech Savvy Engineers becomes your most important…
Building the Design Platform As most of you are probably aware, we have introduced a new cloud-based, design-to-manufacturing portfolio called 3DEXPERIENCE WORKS. We know this makes some of you a little uneasy, as you see it as a replacement for your beloved SOLIDWORKS. I am here to tell you that is simply not true. By connecting SOLIDWORKS to…
I have completed my Post Diploma in plastic mold design. There I studied about plastic like mold, how many types of mold are present, how we manufacture plastics and many more. When I got a job as a technical executive in SOLIDWORKS you won’t believe that SOLIDWORKS proved that it is one of the easiest, fastest…
