SUCCESS STORIES > ELECTRICAL & ELECTRONICS SEABOTIX, INC."In my opinion the difference between other CAD software and SolidWorks is like the difference between DOS and Windows."
- Donald Rodocker, President
The ChallengeSeaBotix, Inc. designed, manufactured, and introduced the first lightweight, low-cost, full-production submersible remotely operated vehicle, the Little Benthic Vehicle. Bringing this breakthrough product to a wider market required modern 3D design and analysis tools, so product developers could shorten design cycles, validate cutting-edge technologies, and employ organic shapes and surfaces. The SolutionThe company selected SolidWorks mechanical design software for the Little Benthic Vehicle project because of its ease of use, ability to model organic shapes and surfaces, SolidWorks eDrawings communication capabilities, and seamless integration with SolidWorks Simulation software. By deploying SolidWorks on the Little Benthic Vehicle project, SeaBotix reduced its design cycle by 50 percent, minimized tooling modification costs, effectively communicated design information among several locations, and introduced the first full-production, lightweight submersible remotely operated vehicle to a mass market.
