SolidWorks: The Secret to our Product Design Success

At Cornelius Creative, we’ve always believed that great product design is about more than just aesthetics, it’s about precision, efficiency, and delivering high-quality solutions for our clients. Since day one, SolidWorks has been a key ingredient in our success, enabling us to transform concepts into market-ready products with speed and accuracy.

If you’re new to the world of product design, engineering, or 3D modelling, SolidWorks is one of the most widely used tools to bring your product ideas to life. As a powerful CAD (Computer-Aided Design) software, it enables designers and engineers like us to create 3D models, simulations, and detailed technical drawings.

A Strong Partnership with Visiativ

Another key factor in our success has been our partnership with Visiativ, the official SolidWorks reseller that introduced us to the software. From the start, Visiativ has been a fantastic support system, providing expert advice, training, and technical support. They even helped us connect with potential clients, making them an invaluable partner in our growth.

Our MD Simon recently sat down with the Visiativ team to discuss how SolidWorks has helped our business grow. If you’d like to read the whole interview, pop over to the Visiativ website now.

Our Design Process with SolidWorks

Every project we take on begins with a clear understanding of our client’s needs. We kick things off by meeting with the client to gather the project brief and technical requirements. From there, we move on to sketching out initial concepts and refining the mechanical elements. Once we’ve established a solid direction, we jump into SolidWorks to start building rough models, checking for design intent, wall thickness, and fit.

One of the features we love most about SolidWorks is its ability to handle assemblies for multi-part designs. This means we can present live 3D models to clients, enabling them to make real-time decisions on the design direction. Once we’ve finalised the design, we use SolidWorks to generate photorealistic renders, which allow us to showcase our designs in a visually appealing way. Finally, we produce detailed 2D and 3D manufacturing drawings to ensure the product can be easily transitioned to production.

Looking to the Future

As we continue to expand, SolidWorks will remain at the heart of our operations. We’re particularly excited about the future developments in cloud-based CAD and AI-powered design tools, which promise to further streamline our workflow and enhance our design capabilities. We’re always looking for ways to improve efficiency, and SolidWorks’ ongoing innovation ensures we’ll stay at the cutting edge of product design.

Conclusion

At Cornelius Creative, we’ve built our reputation on delivering innovative, high-quality designs for clients across a wide range of industries. SolidWorks has been a critical part of this success, providing us with the tools to overcome challenges, accelerate time to market, and create exceptional products. As we continue to grow, we’re confident that SolidWorks will remain an integral part of our design process – helping us push the boundaries of what’s possible in product design.
