Part & Assembly Modelling
Transform ideas and concepts into 3D models using imported images, simple sketches, or scanned 3D data - then add more detail as the design evolves. Quickly lay out your design assembly structure and automatically create CAD files to manipulate and modify the 3D geometry.

2D Drawings
Clearly communicate how your design should be manufactured and assembled by creating production-ready 2D drawings that are directly linked to the 3D CAD data so updates are automatically reflected.

Existing Design Reuse
Make use of existing engineering data to create new designs and speed up product development.

Collaborate and Share CAD Data
The included collaboration tools help your team members work closely with not only each other, but with stakeholders, vendors, and customers. You can even protect your design data before sharing it outside your organisation.

Check Interference
Verify that all of your parts and assemblies will correctly fit and move before production with Interference Check. You can check designs in both 2D and 3D while you design to assess manufacturability and tolerances as you go.

Basic Stress Analysis for Individual Parts
SimulationXpress is a first-pass analysis tool to quickly determine the effects of force and pressure, and generate reports to document the results.

Rapid 2.5-axis CAM Programming
CAMWorks is an inegrated 2.5-axis milling solution that utilises Model-Based Definition (MBD) and Knowledge-Based Machining (KBM) to improve communication, reduce errors and cycle times, and increase final product quality.

Design Review and Productivity Tools
Correct issues early with the included Design for Manufacturing (DFM) tools, and stay productive by using design analysis, comparison, checking, and reporting tools.

Import / Export Filetype Translators
SOLIDWORKS provides more than 30 translators so you can open CAD data produced in all other major CAD platforms, and export to other software with confidence too.

XR Exporter
Simplify the path from CAD to augmented or virtual reality with the Xtended Reality export option. Xtended Reality retains valuable information like geometry, appearance, motion studies, configurations, meta data, and more.

xDesign is an "xApp" which means it runs in a web browser and is available anywhere, at any time, on any internet-connected device. There's no software to install, configure, or manage, and you will always be working with the latest version.

xDesign helps you model 3D shapes quickly and easily within a single modelling environment. It is integrated with Cloud 3D printing and a network of FabLab machines, and you can use PartSupply to search, access, and pull in 3D components provided by a number of suppliers and manufacturers. Sketch parts by extruding and revolving, and refine with shells, fillets, and chamfers. Convert surfaces to solids, and create assemblies capable of motion.

The 3DEXPERIENCE platform gives you access to a suite of applications to design, simulate, inform, and collaborate. You can start a project, and then invite collaborators to one unified virtual space. Each user will have their own set of personalised apps, known as a "Role", which gives them tools relevant to their responsibilities in the project.

With 3DEXPERIENCE, everything is stored on the cloud. This means you and your team can access everything from any internet-connected computer, securely, and always on the latest version.

It is from the 3DEXPERIENCE platform that users access a portfolio of web-based and desktop apps, a cloud platform that is host to onboarding programs programs, e-learning modules, and a dedicated community, and the industry marketplace to connect with qualified industrial service provides all around the world.
