Why did Burton Snowboards switch from Pro/Engineer to SolidWorks? Burton Snowboards, the world's leading snowboard manufacturer, has switched to SolidWorks® 3D mechanical design software for all of its new binding designs. The company has also purchased SolidWorks COSMOSWorks® design analysis software to ensure bindings keep riders safe and performing at their potential. The company's bindings division switched to SolidWorks software after engineers found they could design parts faster with SolidWorks than with other software. Engineers also discovered that SolidWorks designs regenerated more quickly and offered superior surfacing features. “We replaced our seats of Pro/ENGINEER with SolidWorks because of its more usable interface, faster modeling time, greater flexibility, and ease of learning for new users. Before making the transition, we created surfacing and regeneration tests to compare products. SolidWorks fared better in both tests. Those tests and a majority vote within the group led to our migration to SolidWorks. ”
