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

SurfaceWorks, created by AeroHydro, is a versatile software for freeform surface modeling that works seamlessly with SOLIDWORKS, providing advanced surface editing features specifically tailored for industrial design applications. It supports associative modeling, meaning that any changes made to SOLIDWORKS sketches will automatically reflect on related surfaces in SurfaceWorks and the other way around. This two-way associativity is particularly beneficial for intricate designs, as it ensures that the connections between points, curves, and surfaces remain consistent, facilitating smooth modifications throughout the development process. Initially aimed at marine design, SurfaceWorks has since expanded its use to a variety of fields, including aerospace and healthcare technologies, showcasing its adaptability and wide-ranging appeal. This flexibility makes it an invaluable tool for designers seeking precision and efficiency in their projects.
