With SOLIDWORKS 3D design software, you can design complex parts and assemblies quickly and efficiently. With powerful, easy-to-use design tools, cost estimation, rendering, animation, and file management, you can develop innovative products that are more productive, lower costs, and faster to market with intuitive tools.
Use SOLIDWORKS 3D design software to transform ideas and concepts into virtual 3D models for parts and assemblies. Using imported images, simple sketches, or scanned 3D data, you can quickly create 3D designs and add more details. Using assembly structure planning, you can create your assembly structure quickly and then export it to SOLIDWORKS for automatic CAD generation. You can manipulate and modify 3D geometry directly in 3D CAD models using direct model editing.
Prepare production-ready 2D drawings that communicate how your design should be manufactured and assembled. A 2D drawing is automatically updated when the 3D solid model is updated with SOLIDWORKS associativity. SOLIDWORKS accelerates your design process, saving you time and money.
Utilize existing engineering data to create new designs and speed up product development. By reusing existing 3D CAD models and 2D drawings, SOLIDWORKS accelerates the design process, saves time and development costs, and increases productivity. To create new designs, SOLIDWORKS search, automation, and configuration tools simplify the reuse of existing design data.
Members of your design team can work closely with outside vendors and customers using SOLIDWORKS product collaboration tools. In addition, you can manage project data, control design revisions, and protect proprietary design data before sharing it outside your organization. Several innovative, time-saving features are included in SOLIDWORKS’ product collaboration tools, such as 3D Interconnect, eDrawings®, and 3D Mark Up.
Check the fit, assembly, and operation of your parts and assemblies with SOLIDWORKS Interference Check before going into production. With Interference Check’s seamless integration into CAD, you can use Interference Check to accelerate your product development and assess manufacturability in 2D and 3D.
With SOLIDWORKS SimulationXpress, a first-pass analysis tool, you can perform basic stress analysis on individual parts. Force and pressure effects can be determined quickly and documented with reports.
The SOLIDWORKS CAM Standard powered by CAMWorks® offers an integrated 2.5-axis milling programming solution. With SOLIDWORKS CAM, you can improve communication, reduce errors, reduce cycle times, and improve product quality by utilizing emerging technologies like Model-Based Definition (MBD) and Knowledge-Based Machining (KBM).
*SOLIDWORKS CAM Standard is included with an active subscription of SOLIDWORKS Standard, Professional, or Premium.
With SOLIDWORKS, you can review your design early in the development process using 3D tools. When problems are discovered during the design stage, they are much easier and less costly to resolve than when they are discovered during manufacturing planning or after your design has been manufactured.
A variety of tools are included in SOLIDWORKS to make you more productive, including capabilities for design analysis, comparison, checking, and reporting.
CAD data can be converted into SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD formats or exported to other CAD products using more than 30 translators. Through 3D Interconnect, most major CAD formats can be opened directly in SOLIDWORKS without converting or saving the data.
