Deploy an advanced 3D CAD environment that integrates your engineering teams and accelerates product development cycles across your entire design process. SOLIDWORKS Design delivers the critical tools required to engineer precise industrial assemblies, validate mechanical properties, and ensure data integrity throughout your workflow.
Core Capabilities of 3D CAD Technology
Automate Your Design Workflow
Eliminate repetitive tasks through intelligent automation that preserves design intent. Configure custom templates, establish standardized start parts and implement macros to accelerate complex mechanical builds. Design tables enable automated model generation to expedite project completion.
Production-Ready Technical Documentation
Generate precise 2D documentation directly from your 3D models. Provide your manufacturing teams with exact specifications required for first-pass accuracy. This eliminates errors and reduces production cycle times.
Comprehensive Import and Export Capabilities
Support for more than 30 native and neutral 2D and 3D file formats. Maintain design data accuracy when transferring files to external suppliers or internal departments. Integrate efficiently with other CAD platforms.
Teamwork, Collaboration and Review
Maintain alignment from design through manufacturing. Managers, engineers and stakeholders can complete the design review and annotate work through cloud-integrated tools. Establish efficient feedback workflows that reduce revision cycles and accelerate approval processes across the whole design team.
