Are your designs the same, but different??
The migration to a 3D tool has many different goals that can be achieved, both short and long term. One of the visions that many companies have is to be able to reuse data in order to kick out designs in a more efficient manner. This is especially true when companies design products that are 'the same, but different'. At DASI, we like to call those 'Custom Standards'.
SolidWorks has an extensive set of tools to help companies in the area of design automation. From simple record and play macros, to creating rules based designs using design tables, SolidWorks can help you to automate a significant portion of your common designs. Those capabilities can even be extended beyond the engineering department to allow other personnel to configure products as well.
See why SolidWorks helps you go beyond just making 3D parts. Dive deeper by viewing the on demand webinar titled, "Design Automation in SolidWorks" or take a look at a couple of short examples (below).
