SolidWorks: Transform your Engineering Firm to a Center Of Excellence

SolidWorks is the leading 3D CAD modelling software and Hitech is an advanced user of this innovative software. The intent of this article is to explain why we at Hitech use SolidWorks, and the mechanical engineering design solutions including 3d modeling, virtual prototyping, mechanical drafting, product design & drafting services, sheet metal design and CAD design automation, that we delivered through 2500 + successful projects.

Technical knowledge and 3D CAD design expertise of mechanical designers are the key elements to any engineering design, which comes only from years of experience. Our more than 10 years’ of experience is “priceless”; as the efforts, innovations & synergies developed by us have helped our successful existence today. However; underpinning the design abilities of our product designers, is the SolidWorks software we use.

The solution centric leadership team comprising of SolidWorks Certified CAD professionals, mechanical engineers and subject matter experts, deemed the choice of 3D modelling software virtually to be more important than any other aspect. It’s the core tool that is utilized every day in each of our mechanical/industrial design projects required for creating CAD designs & drafting, and then to output the files as required by our clients for the creation of prototype models and parts of the final device, product or technology.

SolidWorks

Here at Hitech we’re huge fans of this workstation based 3D solid modelling, parametric computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided engineering (CAE) software program for FEA / CFD analysis, fondly known as SolidWorks.

At Hitech we specialize in product design development in SolidWorks to not only design complex assemblies and model advanced shapes and parts, but also for reverse engineering projects. We are well equipped, both technically & technologically, directly competing with 2 million plus mechanical engineers and designers using SolidWorks at more than 165,000 companies worldwide.

SolidWorks at Hitech Engineering Services

Hitech has used SolidWorks since 1995, shortly after SolidWorks Corporation established itself as a brand new CAD system provider. Our engineers and designers have honed their skills through every annual SolidWorks release for more than a decade now.

We now have SolidWorks products at the core of our design tools and capabilities. The advanced analysis and evaluation processes that we deploy to our designs, work with SolidWorks; perfectly positioning us to help improve the overall product development cycle and time to market for all our clients in aviation, automobile, heavy engineering, oil and gas, building design and construction & civil engineering industries across UK, USA, Canada, Europe, Australia and Middle East.

Getting (designs – solutions) right first time, in time, every time

Each of the esteemed clients entrusting CAD design, drafting and 3D CAD Modeling solutions for their products or technology to a specialist engineering design firm like Hitech Engineering Services, looks for value addition in form:

• Smooth & robust design cycles
• Productive workflow
• Fast time to market

Considering these facts, it is a strategic policy decision for us at Hitech, to always run the latest software version of SolidWorks. The new version upgrade of the software released in September/October timeframe, and accordingly we are already equipped with SolidWorks2016.

The annual upgrade is mostly about significant new features and modules, but other small upgrades across the year, consist of hundreds of smaller enhancements, a lot of which are driven exclusively by feedbacks and requests made by global SolidWorks user community comprising of product manufacturers, design engineers and CAD professionals.

Hitech today, has transformed itself to a center of excellence for engineering design automation and has mastered the use of SolidWorks API to create custom modules specific to the project requirements. We delivered design automation solutions to major engineering-to-order manufacturing clients in US and Europe and brought down engineering lead time from days to hours and minutes.

For a retail store furniture manufacturer, our CAD customization solution enabled client to respond to inquiries faster and helped in winning more business and customer trust. We also reduced the development time for a hollow metal door and frame manufacturer, enabling the client to respond to custom door design orders quickly and gain better share in the competitive market.
