AI and sustainability are changing how products are designed. If your current CAD software is not keeping up, it may be time to consider alternatives. A new eBook from engineering.com and SOLIDWORKS explains the business reasons for evaluating a switch.
What is SOLIDWORKS?
SOLIDWORKS is a widely used CAD and 3D modelling software for designing, simulating, and managing product models. With cloud connectivity, network licensing, and collaboration tools, SOLIDWORKS lets teams design, simulate, plan manufacturing, and collaborate in a single software package. You can use SOLIDWORKS for everything from simple parts to full product systems.
The Three-Step Evaluation Framework
Past: Review your existing data and workflows. SOLIDWORKS Design packages support multiple CAD formats, so you can work with non-native files without extra translation steps.
Present: SOLIDWORKS provides learning resources, flexible licensing, and browser-based collaboration tools that do not require installation, helping reduce disruption during a transition.
Future: The SOLIDWORKS Design package includes over 100 applications for simulation, manufacturing, and data management, so your SOLIDWORKS workspace can grow with your business. These tools can help shorten design cycles, speed time-to-market, and lower development costs.
The Bottom Line
Switching CAD software can be a key decision for your business. Every SOLIDWORKS license includes cloud connectivity, allowing you to update your design processes as needed.
