SOLIDWORKS Products — Customer Comments
What engineers and designers say about Power Surfacing, Power Surfacing RE, and Power Shell for SOLIDWORKS.
"I sat down with the software yesterday for my first extensive session and just fell in love with it. I've spent countless hours trying to sculpt shapes and still have reached unsatisfactory results. Absolutely wonderful work. It is a very advantageous add-in."

A. M. Robertson
A. M. R. Industrial
"For me personally Power Surfacing is an incredibly powerful and enabling tool, I'm very happy I came across it! Power Surfacing makes the CAD process much more joyful, intuitive and playful and less tedious."

Andries van Overbeek
Concept Car Designer
"Feel free to share any of the cars on my profile. They're made with your amazing plugin."

Jeroen Claus
Automotive Designer
"Amazing software and it exceeds our expectations."

Salem Almehairbi
Extreme Anglers Marine Equipment Est.
"I frequently use SOLIDWORKS with Power Surfacing and find the form freedom of PS and the precision of SW a joy to work with. It's a truly great programme."

Sandy
Praxis Product Design
"You made this amazing software which made my workflow much faster and I can realize my ideas much easier."
Žiga Gorjup
Gorjup Design
"nPower is amazing. SOLIDWORKS is more powerful with Power Surfacing. Thank you."

Mostafa Tohidifar
Industrial Designer
"I love your program — for me the Power Surfacing plugin represents the most significant advancement in SOLIDWORKS modelling capability in more than a decade!"
James Bevan
Duncan Walton London
"Adding Subdivision Surface modeling capability to SOLIDWORKS in the most integrated and seamless way possible for a 3rd party, Power Surfacing for SOLIDWORKS is unique in the game-changing functionality it brings to SOLIDWORKS. The Sub-D approach to complex shape design is COMPLETELY unlike anything you have EVER been able to do in SOLIDWORKS, and yet it complements SOLIDWORKS so well. Their price point is remarkable given the functionality they are bringing to the table."
Jason Pancoast
CAPINC
"Power Surfacing has exceeded every one of our expectations for delivering fast results in a dynamic editing environment within SOLIDWORKS. We are such fans of the new plugin."
Raquel Rabago
Tovolo
"I was able to convert the very complex scan I was working with to a usable surface. It made the workload MUCH easier and I have been able to save at least 40 hours of CAD in this project. Power Surfacing RE has been extremely helpful for this project."
Justin Lefebvre
Derby Building Products Inc.
"We have some recent successes after the implementation of Power Surfacing which has — in a particular project — phenomenally reduced the time to get parts to tooling, by approximately 4 weeks!"
Gavin Colgan-Smith
ARB Corporation Ltd
"Power Shell really has been amazing. Truly a massive help in frustration and time. SOLIDWORKS shell always fails, and the workarounds are very tedious and time consuming. It's the only 3rd-party tool I've purchased for SOLIDWORKS."
Sean Conner
Hickenbottom, Inc.
"Power Shell. Wow! What a tool. I have been working on a golf club driver head for a customer — very organic shapes, sharp features with small break rads. They wanted an SLA print of the form and being able to shell meant reduced print time and material costs. SW on its own would never manage this operation. I'm impressed. Well done and thank you."
Dean Bourne
3D Design Limited
"Have spent the last couple of days experimenting with your new product. Has thrown up many new possibilities and re-design that I could not have done before. Has revolutionised my business in a similar way that Power Surfacing did a few years back. Will save a lot of money and time."
Stuart Brown
3D Engineers
"The software is truly amazing. The fact that it creates a body that can be used to create a true shell is awesome."
Damon Langlois
Codetta
"The Power Shell feature has already been a great success!"
Alex Haysler
Biz Karts
"Your Power Surfacing RE has been an amazing (and fun) tool to work with. Thanks again for the amazing software — Power Surfacing makes my job fun!"
Jesse Maier
Maier Manufacturing, Inc.
"I downloaded your tryout version, and not only did it solve my problem completely, it really opened up a whole new world of possibilities that I've originally been forced to use other software (than SOLIDWORKS) to reach. Power Surfacing is really quite amazing to be honest."
Benjamin Ngoma Rodahl
Designer
"Thanks a lot for your help and assistance with this splendid software. I am very pleased with the result. Without your excellent software it had been very hard to model the hips."
Björn Fjelddahl
Qamcom Sweden
"It's the most satisfying add-in for SOLIDWORKS that I've ever used."
Eric Huwald
Citgo Works
"Great product by the way!"
Adil Ali
BMW Group Design Works
"It generally takes 5000 hours of practice to learn SolidWorks to a level where you can build a car. In a week, I'm building a better car with nPower. And it's FUN!"
Jeremy Singley

"Incredibly intuitive to learn, easy to use, and seamlessly functional right inside SolidWorks, this software is a joy. The surface model lives in the manager tree as a feature. You can go back and edit it like any feature, and downstream SolidWorks alterations will update automatically. And best of all, it's fun!"
Jeremy Singley

"Power Surfacing has brought the fun back into surface design. Change existing SolidWorks surfaces and create new ones on the fly. Good price point. Easy to use. What is not to like? I believe that you cannot now count yourself as a SolidWorks surfacing professional unless you have Power Surfacing in your armoury. The gains in productivity are truly epic. Power Surfacing is a true game changer for SolidWorks surfacing users."
Stuart Brown
3D Engineers
"Working in Power Surfacing feels like molding with clay. Finally I have a way to master FULL CONTROL of my models. There doesn't appear to be any limit on what I can shape using this tool. How did we ever survive in the 3D CAD world without Power Surfacing before this?"
Danen Lynn
Gunwerks
"Since I discovered the Power Surfacing for SolidWorks plug-in, I am using it for most of my time and on most of my projects. With Power Surfacing I can start designing the shape directly in CAD, use it as an idea and for presentation, and after that work on exactly the same file to the final stage. It sure is a time and money saver as you are able to design extremely fast and efficient in one software environment only."
Žiga Gorjup
Gorjup Design
"With the help of Power Surfacing all the components were reverse engineered and CAD modelled in several hours. You can simply import the 3D scanned files into SolidWorks and start modeling the complex shapes and surfaces in a similar way you designed the clay model."
Žiga Gorjup
Gorjup Design
"In combination with Modo it's the quickest, cleanest, and also least expensive workflow to create a high-end industrial level product — spanning from product design, to manufacturing, to rendering out stills and animations for marketing. This is all possible because of nPower's Power Surfacing plug-in for SW."
Erik Guzman

"Power Surfacing is a very useful tool that really improves the surface capabilities of SolidWorks. More intuitive, faster and more fun."
Luc Spruyt
3D Assist
"I'm really excited about this software. Having it integrated into the SW platform is a dream come true."
Todd Abernethy
CHASEDESIGN, LLC
"As an industrial designer I have been dreaming of a tool like this for years."
Eric Lagman
