SolidBox and Dell

SolidBox stands for two things when it comes to hardware: performance and reliability. First performance: everyone who’s ever sat down at a computer has hoped for the best performance possible. This is a given, but not all of us have the time or knowledge necessary to build a workstation that provides optimal performance for the tasks we ask it to accomplish.     SolidBox provides the right workstation for each individual customer with the right hardware to ensure not on

SolidBox Laptops — Now With 50% More Cores!

For years now, SolidBox has been providing laptops purpose-built for SOLIDWORKS. Until now, all those laptops have had one thing in common: 4 processor cores. The quad-core processor has been a trusted workhorse since the beginning, but the latest generation of SolidBox laptops is moving to Intel’s newest line of mobile processors with six core CPUs. While most functions in SOLIDWORKS are single-threaded (negating some of the benefits of multi-core processors), simulation and photo-renderin

SolidBox Partners With SIMSOLID Simulation Software

We here at SolidBox love the Simulation tools in SOLIDWORKS and Fusion 360. However, this is mostly out of necessity, as a mesh solver has always been the best way to accurately simulate your designs under stress or strain. This is the case for both SOLIDWORKS Simulation and Fusion 360. The one drawback is that as your mesh gets finer, your hardware requires more resources. This is in order to calculate all the stress and strain in every single tetrahedral in your geometry’s mesh. This is why

My Gaming Computer Will Run SolidWorks, Won’t It? – SolidBox Spotlight

Here at SolidBox, we encounter SOLIDWORKS and Mastercam users from a vast amount of industries. Consequently, there seems to be one common question that we get from CAD/CAM folk across that wide array of industries. That SOLIDWORKS workstation question is some variation of this: I just built an expensive gaming computer, can I use it to run SOLIDWORKS/Mastercam as well?” The honest-to-God truth is yes. In fact, most gaming computers would accept an installation of SOLIDWORKS. And yes, yo
