Customer success story: ARCIMOTO

Summary: Implement SOLIDWORKS Professional mechanical design, SOLIDWORKS Premium mechanical design and analysis, SOLIDWORKS Electrical Schematics Professional electrical design, SOLIDWORKS Electrical 3D electrical design, and SOLIDWORKS PDM Standard product data management software solutions.

With SOLIDWORKS, we can create and combine sheet metal parts of different thicknesses and control each bend radius from the central part. This eliminates the need to deal with a messy assembly, in which a face change would blow up 200 mates. SOLIDWORKS allows us to have multiple sheet metal parts combined in a single part, which is making design changes faster and easier, as well as improving manufacturability

Arcimoto - USA

COMPANY

Founded in 2007 to catalyze a shift to a more sustainable transportation system, Arcimoto. Inc., (NASDAQ: FUV) broke new ground in the transportation industry by establishing the fun utility vehicle (FUV) category for electric vehicles, following the introduction of Arcimoto’s first electric three-wheeled FUV, its Signature Series, which is currently available for pre-order with a target purchase price of $11,900. Although early R&D took place in the company machine shop, management realized that refining vehicle development and preparing for mass production required the use of advanced design and engineering tools

CHALLENGE

Streamline development and production of electric-powered vehicles that break new ground in terms of efficiency, driveability, and performance

SOLIDWORKS is in some ways analogous to sailing. When you're on the sea, you can sense the wind coming up as a fresh breeze. SOLIDWORKS is like that. SOLIDWORKS is fresh and there are well-thought-out ideas behind it. We're certainly enjoying riding the SOLIDWORKS wave at J&J Design.
