Drafters' work provides visual guidelines and shows how to construct a product, and includes technical details and specifies dimensions, materials, and procedures. Mechanical drafters also detail parts and assemblies, indicating dimensions, fastening methods, and other details for manufacturing.
SOLIDWORKS® solutions are well known for performance, versatility, ease of use, and widespread industry acceptance. They provide functionality to work in 3D, or 3D with associated 2D drawings that update automatically with changes to 3D models.
Manufacturers want to avoid miscommunications and automate downstream production processes. SOLIDWORKS Model-Based Definition (MBD) enables you to go directly to manufacturing using 3D detailed and annotated models without the need to create a 2D drawing.
Drafters need the toolset for 3D CAD communication, markup, and viewing provided by eDrawings®. The free, standalone SOLIDWORKS eDrawings Viewer enables anyone to view, print, and review for collaboration.
