Expert SOLIDWORKS Reseller and Engineering Solutions

About Design and Process

Your Trusted SOLIDWORKS Reseller Across the United States

At Design and Process, we specialize in selling, supporting, and training SOLIDWORKS products nationwide. As an authorized reseller, we go beyond transactions to deliver comprehensive engineering and IT solutions that enhance your design, manufacturing, and data management processes.

Why Design and Process?

Founded in late 2021, we identified a critical gap in the U.S. manufacturing and defense engineering sectors. Despite an established competitive landscape, many organizations lacked the integration between engineering workflows and modern IT infrastructure necessary for efficient, secure operations.

Defining Our Name

  • Design: Crafting detailed plans and drawings that showcase the functionality and aesthetics of a product before it is built.
  • Process: Implementing a sequence of strategic actions to achieve efficiency and precision in your projects.

Our approach directly addresses communication and workflow challenges that have become more pronounced with increased cloud adoption and distributed teams.

Our Specialized Services

  • Engineering Software Sales and Training: Authorized SOLIDWORKS solutions with expert-led training and ongoing support.
  • IT Integration and Secure System Installation: Infrastructure design and implementation focused on security, reliability, and performance.
  • Standardization and Process Development: Proven methodologies that improve consistency, scalability, and operational resilience.

Digital Twin and Digital Engineering

We actively promote the adoption of Digital Twin technology and modern Digital Engineering practices. These frameworks create a synchronized environment connecting CAD models, bills of materials, and engineering data.

The result is improved revision control, enhanced collaboration, and a measurable reduction in costly manufacturing errors.

Network vs. Standalone

A Network license allows multiple users to share a pool of licenses across a network, while a Standalone license is tied to a single computer and can only be used by one user at a time.

  • If you are a sole user or prefer to have dedicated licenses for each machine, a standalone license will likely be the best option. However, for teams that need to share licenses across multiple users or locations, network licenses offer greater flexibility.

 

Term vs. Perpetual

With a perpetual license, you own the software and can use it forever, while with a term license, you only have access to the software for the duration of your subscription period. 

  • If you have stable design needs, a predictable budget and want to own the software outright, perpetual is your best option. For companies with fluctuating project needs who want lower upfront costs and flexibility to adjust their software usage, term licenses are your best option.
