Your 3D CAD tool plays a key role these days in enabling you to remain competitive in today’s challenging global economy. Choosing the right tools not only helps speed up product development but also lets you focus on what’s really important—designing world-class, innovative products.

So, is it the time right to switch?

• Are my engineers frustrated with their current 3D CAD tools?
• Are parts not fitting together correctly the first time?
• Are we missing important product launch dates due to assembly issues?
• Are my engineers spending too much time searching for drawings or parts?
• Do we struggle to find qualified engineers who are experienced in using our current tool?
• Is your current vendor telling you how and when you can buy your software?

If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, the time is definitely right to at least start doing your research!

Ease of Use 77% of top performing engineering firms look for ease of use in their CAD tools and their add ons			Quality Support 69% of top performing engineering firms look for quality and availability of technical support when choosing a company			Available Talent 47% of top engineering firms are more likely to consider market share making finding and recruiting  quality talent easier
Depth of Solutions SOLIDWORKS includes an entire suite of solutions integrated to work together and create interdepartmental collaboration			Passionate Community With literally millions of users globally, you will never  have to go far to find answers to your questions			Constant Innovation Every year, there are literally hundreds of software features added or enhanced based largely on user requests

Here at DASI, we are passionate about building up the workforce of tomorrow by actively engaging with today’s education community. We frequently offer career days, facility tours and presentations to students in our communities.

We also know that employers want to hire designers who can think creatively, collaborate easily, solve problems fast and respond to changes quickly. What better way to enhance those skills than through student competitions? By competing in design contests, students can not only sharpen their skills, but also prepare for the highly competitive workplace they will encounter in the future.

DASI and SOLIDWORKS are here to help student teams with an array of resources, including curriculum, parts and design tools, including SOLIDWORKS mechanical and electrical software. Interested? Please fill out the SOLIDWORKS Online Sponsorship Application.
