SOLIDWORKS Professional with Cloud

SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD Professional is the workhorse of Mechanical Design software worldwide.  Building upon the robust capabilities of SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD Standard, the Professional version offers advanced features that empower engineers to develop product design and manufacturing fully.
  • Unleash Creativity with Comprehensive CAD Libraries: The extensive CAD libraries are at the heart of SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD Professional. These libraries give engineers access to hundreds of thousands of industry-standard fastener models and commonly reused CAD data. This treasure trove of resources enables engineers to customize and share designs efficiently, significantly accelerating the design process and ensuring consistency across projects.
  • Ensure Uniformity and Precision with CAD Standards Checking: Uniformity in design and documentation is paramount for successful project execution. SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD Professional facilitates this through its CAD Standards Checking feature, which allows engineers to establish and adhere to design standards. Engineers can maintain high quality and consistency by ensuring that drawings and models comply with predefined standards, streamlining communication and collaboration among teams.
  • Optimize Fit and Performance with Automated Tolerance Stack-up Analysis: The Automated Tolerance Stack-up Analysis feature is a testament to the software’s understanding of mechanical design nuances. This tool automatically evaluates the effects of tolerances on parts and assemblies, ensuring the consistent fit of components and verifying tolerancing schemes before manufacturing. This preemptive analysis is invaluable in minimizing errors and rework, saving time and resources.
  • Design with Cost in Mind: Cost considerations are integral to the design process. SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD Professional incorporates design for cost capabilities, providing automatic cost estimation tools that are fully integrated into the software. This feature allows engineers to continuously evaluate their designs against cost targets, making informed decisions that align with budget constraints and market expectations.
  • Bridge the Gap between Physical and Digital with Reverse Engineering: In an era where legacy parts and customization play significant roles, the Reverse Engineering feature of SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD Professional is indispensable. Engineers can import, edit, evaluate, and create solid geometry from scanned point-cloud and mesh data, enabling the recreation or updating of designs from physical objects.
  • Enhanced Collaboration: Facilitate seamless ECAD/MCAD collaboration and manage design data effectively with SOLIDWORKS PDM Standard, improving team productivity and project management.  SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD Professional with Cloud includes the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, simplifying collaboration and product development process management. It emphasizes the importance of direct collaboration between users, suppliers, and customers within the SOLIDWORKS environment to eliminate data translation issues and design errors.
  • Advanced Rendering Capabilities: Beyond these features, SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD Professional provides rendering capabilities with tools such as SOLIDWORKS Visualize, which includes GPU rendering and AI Denoiser. This empowers engineers to deliver innovative, high-quality products faster, that meet the intended form and function.
Conclusion SOLIDWORKS Professional is the culmination of years of expertise in CAD development, offering a comprehensive, integrated suite designed to propel your engineering projects to the next level. It’s time to embrace the future of design and manufacturing with SOLIDWORKS Professional—where your ideas come to life, flawlessly.
