SolidWorks Plastics brings designers of plastics parts and injection molds an intuitive, easy-to-use SolidWorks toolset to predict and avoid manufacturing defects from the start of the design process. Making adjustments early reduces or eliminates mold rework, lowers costs, and speeds your time to market.

VELIZY-VILLACOUBLAY, France, April 2, 2012 –Dassault Systèmes (Euronext Paris: #13065, DSY.PA), the 3DEXPERIENCE COMPANY, world leader in 3D design software, 3D Digital Mock Up and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) solutions,  today unveiled SolidWorks^® Plastics software, easy-to-use software tools that enable users to predict and avoid manufacturing defects during the earliest stages of plastics part and injection mold design.

The new products run fully embedded inside of SolidWorks, providing part designers and mold makers with familiar and intuitive workflows so they can quickly optimize their part and mold designs for manufacturability. The ability to make design changes early helps ensure that the mold works right the first time, reducing or eliminating the need for rework and improving part quality. In addition, SolidWorks Plastics provides users with valuable knowledge so they can determine whether changes to the part geometry, mold design, material selection or processing conditions will have a positive impact on the ability to easily manufacture their products.

WALTHAM, Mass., Feb 10, 2012 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Let's Go Design Project 3 from Dassault Systemes SolidWorks Corp. is a wrap! Over the past several months, the Let's Go Design team has worked with the SolidWorks community to design and prototype a "Hot Rod Baby Buggy" from the ground up. The buggy is now a reality with every element -- except the bolts -- designed using SolidWorks(R) software. The final episode, which went live in mid January, recaps the successes and challenges of the project and demonstrates the buggy in motion.
