Description

User-friendly, dynamic design delivered via a browser. Instant access to estimates, parts lists, shopping carts and 3D-printer ready files. You can get the output you need. The software is built around your business rules. Your expertise is extracted and coded so that your team can focus on the most difficult parts of their jobs while the system does the rest. There is no learning curve. Visual design is as easy as drag-and-drop places control. This allows you to give control to your sales team, customer, or anyone else you choose. Your engineers should be used when they are needed, not when they are forced to. Cloud-based design for your team. LightningCAD systems are easy to use and don't require installation. This allows for collaboration within your organization as well as beyond. You can design, share, and create without any hiccups. Your custom system can produce everything you need, from construction blueprints to ready-to print 3D surgical toolkits. Your custom system works quickly, intuitively, as well as being automatically updated as you create.

Description

Integrated version control along with straightforward management tools eliminates the expensive requirement for a separate PDM system, ensuring that you and your team always have access to the most current design data. Every alteration made by users is meticulously logged, allowing for a history of changes that can be reversed at any moment, thus offering limitless undo/redo options alongside a thorough audit trail. The option to branch and merge facilitates the simultaneous development of various product concepts. One of the standout features of SolidFace is its parameterization capability, which is utilized throughout all phases of design. 3D motion simulation benefits from this as it updates in real-time with any movement. Additionally, the software can simulate 2D mechanisms, allowing for analysis in either a 2D drawing space or within the 3D sketch environment. Furthermore, SolidFace provides direct access to an extensive online part library, boasting over 100 million part numbers sourced from numerous top manufacturers and distributors, as well as thousands of standards such as ISO, ANSI, DIN, NF, GB, and ASME. This comprehensive resource enhances the design process, making it more efficient and effective for users.
