SolidWorks is the perfect one for us

10 /10

What differentiates SOLIDWORKS from other similar products?

We have worked as a team, because we are connected in the cloud, all the designs we have made have been approved by our superiors without problems, since we dedicate time to structural analysis to know if a part will work, each function that SolidWorks has. it is because it is necessary and will require it at some point in your design. Other software doesn't meet our expectations, so it doesn't work for us like SolidWorks does.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Designing is perfectly fast, because this software allows me to make any type of design, I can export other designs and edit them if that is what I want, also I can always be connected through the cloud, at first we had doubts if the design of the pieces they would work, but we used structural analysis and the doubts are gone.

What do you dislike most about this product?

I would like to use it on Linux, but for now it is not possible.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

I didn't think SolidWorks would be necessary for us, but by using it and discovering most of the features we knew it was the ideal software for us.

Good results with SolidWorks

9 /10

What differentiates SOLIDWORKS from other similar products?

Less margin of error, realistic pieces designs, good results in 3D printing and the CAD tool is very functional as we expected, there are many similar software, but none is like that.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The user interface is very complex, but very easy to use, I like the quality of the designs that I can do, and knowing that the 3D prints will be as I designed them.

What do you dislike most about this product?

We tried to make large designs and SolidWorks did not work as expected because the software slowed down a bit.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

You should know that SolidWorks is very good for companies that are starting, because it is very easy to learn, it is very economical and it has good results if you know how to get the most out of SolidWorks.
