Why did Bioprocessors switch from Inventor to SolidWorks? BioProcessors Corporation is the leader in providing high-throughput cell culture applications for process development for the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industry. The company migrated from its AutoCAD 2D design software to Autodesk Inventor 3D CAD software in 2002. After using the software for two years, BioProcessors evaluated other 3D CAD systems to determine if they could save time, reduce costs, and improve accuracy with another solution. The company selected SolidWorks software because of its ease of use, large-assembly capabilities, value, and integrated applications, including COSMOSWorks analysis, PDMWorks data management, and built-in MoldflowXpress wizard-based design validation software. By deploying SolidWorks software, BioProcessors has reduced its development cycle for molded components by 20 to 35 percent, minimized the potential for design errors, improved the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of partner interactions, and enhanced collaboration with company scientists. "Dollar for dollar, we have a lot more capability with SolidWorks. It delivers all the capabilities we asked for at a competitive price." Sean LeBlanc, Associate Director of Manufacturing
