End-to-End Product Development

Today’s designers and engineers face challenges that extend beyond just design. SOLIDWORKS Ultimate provides a holistic approach to expand into all aspects of product development.

An all-in-one product development solution for your business
Innovate with professional, flexible, and trusted design and advanced simulation solutions
Collaborate and manage with cloud-based BOM and product lifecycle management tools
Manufacture correctly the first time with advanced CAM tools and 3D machining
Create product documentation and stunning marketing assets by connecting engineering and marketing to a single source of truth

Every single product we've designed has been fully designed in SOLIDWORKS, from initial ideation and 3D CAD to the fully detailed parts that we release for design.

Cloud-Native Design and Lifecycle Management

Flexibility and agility is the name of the game. SOLIDWORKS xDesign is accessible on any device and lowers your IT requirements while giving your team the ability to work together from anywhere.

Parametric and freeform modeling in the cloud with next-generation 3D design tools
Specialized cloud-based design tools for sheet metal, weldments, and more
Photorealistic rendering and innovative product documentation all on the cloud
Secure data and product lifecycle management on a collaborative cloud platform
Real-time collaboration solutions for sharing, marking up, and more

Because our design tool operates in a browser and our data infrastructure is in the cloud, we’ve avoided the heavy up-front capital investment in hardware that startups have historically faced.

Electrical CAD

SOLIDWORKS Electrical is a robust product suite that combines 2D schematic design tools, 3D CAD collaboration, PCB integration, and cloud connectivity. It equips you with the tools you need to tackle the challenges of the modern electrical landscape.

Generate intelligent schematics with SOLIDWORKS Electrical’s powerful parametric design capabilities
Streamline collaboration to ensure electrical engineering alignment and coordination between both electrical and mechanical teams
Increase accuracy and quality in 2D designs and 3D visualizations, eliminating human error and reducing the number of physical prototypes

Before we implemented SOLIDWORKS Electrical, it used to take five days to generate the BOM because we had to finish all of the drawings to manually create the BOM. With SOLIDWORKS Electrical, we can generate the BOM in about four hours.

2D CAD Design and Drafting

Get DraftSight's powerful, professional 2D CAD software that saves design time while maximizing your ROI.

Create, edit, and manage DWG files and technical drawings
User-friendly interface and familiar commands to ensure easy onboarding and minimal transition time
Integrated with SOLIDWORKS and CATIA, for effective collaboration

DraftSight is critical for us. Probably 60% of our legacy designs are still within a 2D format, so we have to maintain those. We use those designs to build off of as templates. So, it’s necessary for us to have those tools to still manage the 2D environment
