We feel that Solid Edge gives us an unfair advantage. It’s such a powerful technology without the unnecessary complications that you get with larger programs, and it allows us to be competitive with bigger manufacturers even though we have fewer resources.
Theodore Turner, Head of Design and Development, Theebo Tech Pty Ltd
Solid Edge helps us with its outstanding assembly functions, which on the one hand facilitates the overview and design in context, and on the other hand optimizes performance.

I was used to the application of another CAD system, but was immediately able to find my way through the intuitive user guidance of Solid Edge.
Daniel Grossenbacher, Head of Mechanical Engineering, Sensile Medical AG
I had worked for 25 years with CAD, but moving to Solid Edge opened my eyes to what is possible.
