Here is a look at single part modelling in SolidWorks. Even creating simple geometry, SolidWorks offers class-leading ease-of-use, helping you to become much more productive in the least amount of time.
Once the part has been produced, we need to check the part design is going to work. In the video below, the power of 3D in SolidWorks is clear. See how you can get it right first time, every time with fast, robust and powerful interference detection, helping you to cut out any expensive mistakes on the shop floor that can be missed using 2D CAD.
Despite being a very powerful 3D CAD system, SolidWorks also has a very rich set of drawing tools enabling production quality detailed drawings to be produced in a fraction of the time with fully parametric, bidirectional editing capability meaning all changes only need to be made once, and everywhere updates correctly.
SolidWorks has a vast user base in a number of different industries. There is a rich toolset aimed specifically at mould tool designers. See how easily and quickly creating moulds, directly around 3D CAD models, from a range of formats, can be using the mould tools in SolidWorks Standard 3D CAD software.
Most people who have switched to SolidWorks have come from a 2D background, often with a lot of legacy data. This can be a concern. With every license of SolidWorks, you get 3 licenses of a DWGEditor program which will allow you to access, print, edit and create new DWGs should you wish to leave them as 2D files but we can also convert them in a few easy steps. See the video below for just how easy this is to do...
Probably the most significant area of the SolidWorks community is machine design or sheet metal and frame fabricators. SolidWorks has very powerful tools especially for these designers and engineers. Take a look at the powerful sheet metal and framework tools...
SolidWorks was introduced in late 1994 and has developed a rich set of tools for creating complex surface and solid geometry. At any stage, designers can easily transition from surface model, to solid model or vice versa, making a wide range of tools available. Thought SolidWorks couldn't do complex shapes? Think again...
Many SolidWorks customers have designs which can be configured using logic or rules. Rather than them having to create the same designs of different sizes or different specifications, they can automate this process. DriveWorksXpress is a free utility with SolidWorks which allows you to automate your designs. Take a look...
