    SOLIDWORKS

    Submitted by: Allison Fonder

    SOLIDWORKS is the bread and butter program for industrial design—powered off of Windows, this computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided engineering (CAE) software program not only allows you to envision products in their final form, but also design with a precision that can be processed by 3D printers, CNC machines, rendering programs, and more.

  • "I think it partly depends on what you are designing. Sneakers, that are influenced by fashion trends, naturally need to be sketched well. But what about, for instance, a bicycle? The color & graphics need to be rendered accurately but who is going to spend hours lovingly sketching all those other peoples components (ever tried sketching a spoked wheel?). I design baby strollers where the innovation and design are largely invisible. No body is going to get excited about my sketches of a geared latching mechanism."

  • "I don't get it. In all the images I see basically the same bike. All the changes on offer appear to be aesthetic and nothing about the function is changed. What people need in a commuter bike is comfort and convenience. Where are the fenders, the chain guard, the built in lighting and the adaptable carriers to allow you to haul your gear? Seems like a lot of hype and not much substance."
