I'm well aware that SolidWorks is a leading and
globally respected CAD software. It compares at the same level with Autodesk Inventor and
ProEngineer, if not even higher. But the question is how many organizations in Nigeria actually use the application? Pls, who knows of companies in Nigeria which make use of SolidWorks? Responses are very welcome.

i cant tel u for sure wch companies use solidwork even though its very lucrative. Buh fink of coys dat 'do lots of simulation work. I have a fwend who made a physical aplicatn 2 an automobile coy dah specialise in car tracking even though no vacancy was announced. He was lata called nd employed coz of d prior knowledge of solid works. Dnt 4get, solid works s an advanced AutoCAD THERE4 virtualy every engnrin firms wil nid it. God bless

Thanks. Simulation... That's an eye opener. More comments are welcome.

I have been using Solidworks for not to long yet. Its obvious its potential is large. After interacting with the few Nigerian users I have met its apparent more Nigerian Solidworks users need to come forward, practise more and get certified and that is not as expensive as the capability of the software might cause one to think. It puzzles me that companies hardly use it. Most manufacturing moulds are imported ready-made... How many manufacturing companies are owned by Nigerians or people is the rhetorical answer? We need to grow in size, grow our designs from home and own rights to our designs.... this is very possible from what I am learning.

I can proudly say this that the use of SolidWorks CAD is one the most important thing every Nigerian manufacturing company needs to progress. I pause to imagine what could be achieved if a company decides to design its product with solidWorks using all the features in that CAD here in Nigeria. BELIEVE ME, I currently design product for one business woman in Imo State using solidWorks it has greatly saved her a lot of money from what she used to spend on prototyping and the rest of other things. In fact, she has been an evangelist of solidWorks ever since I can around her business,
