Solution
Having worked with various 3D CAD packages in the past including AutoCAD, CADKEY, Pro/ENGINEER and SOLIDWORKS, Evolve Design Solutions selected SOLIDWORKS Professional. Purchasing decision was based on the software’s functionality, ease of use, seamless integration with PhotoView 360, and SOLIDWORKS Simulation, as well as excellent Value Added Reseller (VAR) support service provided by Javelin Technologies.
“Evolve Design Solutions appreciates the excellent customer service, product knowledge and technical support provided by Javelin Technologies, our SOLIDWORKS Value Added Reseller (VAR).”
