DriveWorkds allows the company to automate 3D assembly with ease and reduces the risk for errors. It is a huge helping hand that lets other workers focus on tasks at hand that do require human work.

Steep learning curve.
No support for Mac.

Likelihood to Recommend

DriveWorks is well suited for companies that could benefit from task automation. Anything that is repetitive is especially well suited, this can free a set of hands that can take on other tasks. Some situations where DriveWorks could not be beneficial are for small companies that have no need for automation if the workload does not require it.

DriveWorks - Complete and Easy-To-Use To Configure Custom Products

Rating: 6 out of 10

February 19, 2022

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

DriveWorks helps us in our Advanced Business Design classes in the university where I work. DriveWorks allows students' interactive activities under the teaching team's help. DriveWorks helps our students configure easily and fastly new and innovative customs products. In particular, we use the free version of the software (una tantum payment). This software is also very useful in the mobile and tablet versions. Our students can interact even outside of class hours, thanks to this fundamental feature.

Pros

DriveWorks allows configuring custom products in a concise time thanks to its automation features.
The mobile and tablet versions allow us to increase our students' interaction.
The graphical interface is straightforward to understand. This allows you to speed up the steps in the different phases of use of the software.

Cons

In some cases, the exchange of documentation between different users is not so automatic. Some operations still have to be done manually.
All the variables and design parameters introduced by the user are not always visible and can be analyzed simultaneously. Sometimes changing the parameters related to the characteristics of the products is not so easy.
DriveWorks allows access to a limited number of users at the same time. This issue sometimes makes the use of the software difficult for many of our students.

Likelihood to Recommend

I would recommend DriveWorks to a college if they have similar needs to those I am personally experiencing at my university. Above all, I would not recommend it if the user needs to allow simultaneous access to a very high number of users (as is my case) since the software does not give this possibility. On the contrary, I would recommend it if a colleague needs to use software that works in the background and generates stand-alone models and prints for time reasons.
