SolidWorks introduced the Elite Reseller award in 2006 to recognise the very highest levels of customer support and subscription services achieved by just a handful of it's global resellers       

Cadtek has been awarded this status five times in the past six years, including for 2010 and 2011.

The Elite status reflects our dedication to providing a world class service, training and technical support to the thousands of SolidWorks licences we provide support to.

Only a handful of hundreds of SolidWorks Resellers have managed to achieve this and we are one of less than a dozen resellers worldwide who have achieved this for 2012.

Make sure you partner with the right reseller to guarantee you get the most from your SolidWorks Design software investment.

Back in 2009, former SolidWorks CEO Jeff Ray wrote about Design That Matters, a local non-profit organization that leverages volunteer engineers and designers to come up with life-saving products for use in the developing world. SolidWorks has been a long-time supporter of Design That Matters, and the group even appeared on stage at SolidWorks World 2009, showing off an infant incubator designed using car parts.

Design That Matters was kind enough to work with the SolidWorks team to develop a case study that explains how our tools and solutions allow them to go from idea to finished product faster and lower the cost of the finished products--two things that are crucial when it comes to saving lives. Designer Will Harris, IDSA, talked about how the incubator and a phototherapy treatment device will help save some of the estimated four million babies that die in the developing world each year due to a lack of basic medical equipment. According to Will, “developing a cool product is great, but creating products that save the lives of babies in third-world countries is absolutely awesome."

Design That Matters uses SolidWorks Premium design and analysis software for structural design, and 3DVIA Composer technical communications software to communicate with physicians in the third world. To learn more about how SolidWorks software helps this important organization support medical treatments that save lives, visit the SolidWorks website and read the case study.
