Premium vs Professional

Why Upgrade to SOLIDWORKS Premium?

Professional is ideal for designers and engineers who need advanced productivity tools. Premium, on the other hand, is built for teams tackling complex projects. Offering powerful simulation, routing, and motion analysis capabilities.

#1 Convert 3D Curves into 2D Flat Patterns

Accurately determine or estimate the size and shape of surfaces in their flattened state in order to be able to cut the material from the flat sheet.

#2 Replicate Physical Testing with Simulation

Testing virtually with SOLIDWORKS Simulation helps designers to create optimised design that deliver better performance and cuts costs on physical prototypes.

#3 Design and Route Electrical Wiring

Quickly design and route electrical wiring, cabling, and conduit assemblies of products. Saving time and rework costs, ensuring efficient product assembly.
