Description

SOLIDWORKS is a world-leading 3D design, CAD, and product development platform that has defined innovation for engineers and creators for over three decades. Built by Dassault Systèmes, it delivers a unified environment for design, simulation, documentation, and manufacturing—all with the goal of helping users bring ideas to life faster. The 2026 version marks a major leap forward with AI-powered automation, including selective loading for large assemblies, fastener recognition, and AURA AI, an intelligent design companion that boosts productivity. Deep integration with the 3DEXPERIENCE cloud ecosystem allows teams to collaborate securely, access designs anywhere, and connect real-time data from concept to production. With powerful simulation tools, electrical design integration, and streamlined workflows, SOLIDWORKS reduces manual effort and design iteration time dramatically. Its intuitive interface and broad compatibility make it ideal for both professionals and students. Trusted by innovators like Future Motion, Toyota, and Vermeer, SOLIDWORKS continues to shape the future of design and engineering. Whether you’re creating consumer products, vehicles, or complex machinery, it provides everything you need to go from idea to reality.

Description

SOLIDWORKS® CAM, which is powered by CAMWorks, employs rules-based technology to seamlessly merge design and manufacturing within a single application, fostering collaboration between design and manufacturing teams through a unified software tool and 3D model. This add-on for all SOLIDWORKS CAD versions allows for earlier preparation of designs for manufacturability during the development cycle. Tasks related to manufacturing that previously required the completion of a design can now be executed simultaneously with the design phase. As a result, SOLIDWORKS CAM solutions facilitate a swift transition from design to manufacturing via an integrated workflow. The SOLIDWORKS CAM Standard version enables quick programming of individual milled parts and configurations directly within the SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD environment, ensuring efficiency. Users also have comprehensive control over establishing rules within SOLIDWORKS CAM to align with their company standards and implement Tolerance-Based Machining (TBM), ultimately enhancing productivity and consistency in the manufacturing process. This integration represents a significant advancement in how design and manufacturing can work together harmoniously.
