Overall Satisfaction with SOLIDWORKS
I'm gonna refer mainly to my previous job since now I only use SolidWorks for personal matters. I worked in a product design company so we used SolidWorks as a tool in the projects. It was the main resource to develop the product, from the first stages of creation through to the final product.
- It has the precision required for manufacturing that is necessary so that you can guarantee that the product can be produced in the end.
- SolidWorks makes it possible to visualize how the product is going to look in the end.
- It is intuitive, so you don't waste time looking for resources or tools in the program.
- It gives feedbacks about errors in the parts so that you can review and correct them.
- The rendering function "Photoview" could be improved in terms of realism.
- The metal sheet resources are not so intuitive and could be improved. I often get stuck in some errors that I can't figure out the solution or the cause.
- We used SolidWorks in 100% of our projects, and it gave the trustability of developing good products that were adequate for the production method required.
