SOLIDWORKS is an excellent software for hardware product designers and engineers looking to create an end-to-end environment, from initial sketches to design, simulation and production. Having an all-in-one environment where all departments can collaborate and document effectively can seriously increase productivity across the company.
But we want to take it even further!
We are offering a FREE 3Dconnexion SpaceMouse Pro with every new annual, 3-year or perpetual SOLIDWORKS licence from CAD Software Direct.
What is SOLIDWORKS?
SOLIDWORKS is 3D design software used to create, test and communicate product ideas. Engineers, designers and manufacturers use it to develop everything from machine parts to consumer products.
Key features include:
- 3D modelling: Build and edit parts and assemblies with detailed control.
- 2D drawings: Create production-ready technical drawings automatically from 3D models.
- Simulation tools: Check performance using basic stress, motion or thermal analysis using realistic conditions in a software environment..
- File compatibility: Import and export designs across various formats for easier collaboration.
- Revision control: Track changes and manage versions throughout the design process.
SOLIDWORKS is widely used in manufacturing, product design, automotive, aerospace and industrial equipment. It supports teams who need accuracy, clear documentation and a way to test ideas without the cost of physical prototypes.
What is the 3Dconnexion SpaceMouse Pro?
The 3Dconnexion SpaceMouse Pro helps you to work faster in SOLIDWORKS with precise 3D navigation. The mouse is designed to work with your non-dominant hand, which frees up your mouse hand for uninterrupted design. This handy device reduces the reliance on menus and keyboard shortcuts, which speeds up your flow considerably.
At the centre of the mouse is a 3Dconnexion’s patented 6-Degrees-of-Freedom (6DoF) sensor. This is explicitly designed to manipulate digital content and camera positions in industry-leading CAD applications. Push, pull, twist or tilt the 3Dconnexion controller cap to simply and intuitively pan, zoom and rotate your 3D drawing.

Around the top and sides are SpaceMouse Pro’s 15 fully programmable buttons. These are perfectly positioned to allow effortless access to frequently used commands.
The mouse itself is designed for comfort during marathon design sessions. While we at CAD Software Direct don’t condone sitting at your desk for long periods, we do want you to be comfortable when those situations arise. The ergonomically designed mouse has a soft-coated hand rest, which ensures maximum comfort by positioning the hand naturally.
So, what are you waiting for? Order your new annual, 3-year or perpetual SOLIDWORKS licence from CAD Software Direct and your FREE 3Dconnexion SpaceMouse Pro will be automatically delivered right to your door!
