2. Transportation Products Designed in SolidWorks
SW is used by a number of consumer products companies to create products of a wide range of complexity. Products involving plastic molding, sheet metal, machining, complex surfacing are all commonly developed in SolidWorks.
Product designs are easily enhanced for first quality presentations using the PhotoWorks and Animator add-ins products—also from SolidWorks. Some of the images above were enhanced using these products.
