Six reasons to switch to Solid Edge
What if you could spend less time waiting for your assemblies to load? What if you could create design documentation more quickly, without any corrections? What if you never had to recreate a 3D model to match data from a 3D scanner again? Let your design tool help you – not hinder you.
To help understand the challenges of modern product design, we partnered with Lifecycle Insights to conduct a research study. The resulting Design Challenges Study includes data from engineers and designers from around the globe and measures the impact of the issues they are facing.
This paper highlights six reasons to address these challenges with a switch from your current solution to Solid Edge. In each section, we quantify the impact of the frustrations felt by modern engineers and detail how you can mitigate these challenges by taking advantage of the capabilities and features of Solid Edge.
Read the report today to learn how switching to Solid Edge software can reduce frustration, save time and minimize development costs.
Why Switch from Solidworks - The hidden costs of switching kernal
As you may or may not know, Solidworks is built on the Siemens owned parasolid modelling kernal and over recent years Dassault have been trying to encourage users to switch to 3DXperience, which is based on their own CGM kernal. There are a lot of implications in switching you designs over, as this includes migrating to the new CGM and that means no going back! The other implication on the move is that you will need to also switch to a subscription model and no longer own your own software. Read more about the implications of kernal change in the article below.
“Solid edge has transformed the way we deliver to our customers. When we purchased the package I was apprehensive (being a first time solids drawer) about how long it would take me to learn it. I took to it like a duck to water, finding it incredibly easy to understand and use compared to the other packages we looked at. With CAD Central's exceptional back up service and help, we have easily cut our lead times by more than half and bang for buck I doubt Solid Edge can be beaten. It is a great product."

PDM
Many believe that PDM (CAD document management) is essential for tracking the numerous files associated with a project, controlling revisions, recording changes, and eliminating the creation of duplicate versions of the same file. Despite this recognised need, companies are often reluctant to proceed, perceiving implementation as costly and requiring additional staff to manage data preparation and planning. PDM Studio offers a cost-effective way to build a secure system , with minimal learning and implementation.
PDM Studio
PDM Studio feels straightforward to use and gives us flexibility to organise projects and manage drawings in a way that suits our work. It seems simple and easy for the team to get comfortable with and PDM Studio feels like a practical option without making everyday tasks complicated.
Our score of 4.55 out of 5 reflects the strong results in the areas we’ve worked through.
The Automation, which is one of the areas that can be a big benefit, provides a simple means of completing product output and ensuring the correct data is output.
