“The key to profitably building custom titanium chairs is SolidWorks. Without it, we simply would not be in business.”

- Alan Ludovici, Vice President of Engineering

As mechatronics systems become more complex, the challenges to successfully execute them become more demanding. For example, higher end-user functionality requires more electronic components, which in turn necessitates denser component packaging, and as component density increases, cooling requirements also increase.

SolidWorks^® Premium design software, integrated with products from SolidWorks Certified Partners, helps you meet the unique challenges of mechatronics design. Using SolidWorks digital modeling, you reduce physical prototypes, improve product quality, and streamline your entire development process.

	Squeeze Time and Money Out of Production Using Design for Manufacturability Product design does not occur in a vacuum—it has a significant impact on manufacturing. In fact, 3D design carries even greater potential for streamlining production processes, especially when you take advantage of Design for Manufacturability tools and applications.

	Modular Services Company Modular Services Company designs, fabricates, and manufactures headwall systems for use in patient-care areas and clinical environments. Although the company initially decided to move its design platform from AutoCAD 2D software to the Autodesk Inventor 3D system in 2004, the firm decided to implement SolidWorks Professional 3D CAD software in 2005 for new product development, special projects, and manufacturing.
	R.W. Fernstrum & Company R.W. Fernstrum & Company is a leading manufacturer of cooling systems and custom heat exchangers for marine applications. While the company had used AutoCAD 2D software, the traditional design tool in the shipbuilding industry, it moved to Autodesk Inventor software in 2005 because of a discounted upgrade. Fernstrum sought to validate its 3D selection, however, by evaluating Inventor against other 3D CAD software.
	TiSport, LLC A custom-made high-end wheelchair that is easier to propel and less stressful on the body can help many handicapped people remain independent longer and continue to lead healthy, productive lives. TiSport, LLC, set out to create a superior class of titanium wheelchairs. To achieve this goal, the company needed to implement and sustain a high degree of design and manufacturing automation.
