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

In the realm of industrial and technological advancements, virtual and augmented reality present groundbreaking opportunities that extend from CAD design to marketing, as well as encompassing training and recruitment processes. The XR Suite is designed to enhance your decision-making capabilities, equipping you with analytical tools and the ability to create and simulate scenarios that can affirm your concepts and insights for both current and future industrial applications. This suite prioritizes user-centric operations, fully leveraging the digital twin technology of your equipment. With a Unity plug-in, you can visualize, alter, and engage with your 3D/CAD data and PointCloud, facilitating the development and implementation of sophisticated 3D applications in both virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR). Furthermore, it includes tools for designing or studying workstations, whether they are actual setups or virtual twins, as well as assessing the ergonomics of work activities, ensuring a comprehensive approach to optimization. Such capabilities not only streamline processes but also foster a more immersive and effective training environment.
