Today’s design environment for industrial equipment and machinery requires manufacturers to find increasingly automated processes to keep pace with trends and competitors. Upgrading to concurrent, integrated 3D design and manufacturing solutions helps to streamline the development of large, complex equipment while also verifying durability and performance.
The SOLIDWORKS product development ecosystem offers the features, power and integration needed to create better machines faster and at a lower cost to outpace the competition.
While there is no “easy button” for working with large, complex assemblies, SOLIDWORKS regularly adds new features and enhancements to help improve performance and speed. When combined with simple best practices, SOLIDWORKS is capable of handling your largest design projects with minimal delay.

In order to outpace the competition, reducing costs and time-to-market is key. Reduce costs by testing durability of your designs with virtual simulation of real-world conditions to ensure performance before your first physical prototype. Speed up your time-to-market with powerful and intuitive design tools, integrated workflows and by eliminating wasted time looking for – or recreating – lost data.
Get product design data to your manufacturers without the roadblocks of traditional design workflows. Using manufacturing solutions that integrate directly with your design software, you can leverage your 3D data seamlessly, reducing errors and time-to-market.
3DEXPERIENCE WORKS is a cloud-based product development environment that connects seamlessly with SOLIDWORKS desktop software and helps with project management, data management, collaboration and connecting with vendors or clients.
Vermeer Corporation is a global leader in the manufacturing of machinery and equipment for the agricultural, forestry, excavating, mining and drilling industries. Vermeer implemented SOLIDWORKS design, simulation, data management and technical communication solutions to automate workflows, formalize engineering change process and improve quality, documentation and throughput.
“Our machines involve very large assemblies – some in the 10,000-part range – so finding ways to automate processes is important.”
