Work with Customer Data

Using Instant3D, you can accurately achieve the design ideas of your customers by converting their 2D sketches and photos into 3D solids that you can use, manipulate, and modify in your automotive designs.

SolidWorks also offers:

  • ScanTo3D.  Scan and import models physical part models into SolidWorks.
  • FeatureWorks®.  Modify and refine imported designs in SolidWorks.
  • The ability to import mathematical models in Unigraphics® / NX™, I-DEAS®, Pro / E®, DWG, VDAFS, IGES, STEP, and other formats.

Produce Design Iterations faster

The priority of your task is to develop specific designs fast!  With SolidWorks, you can create, revise and verify your drawings more quickly than ever with 2D CAD systems.  In addition, SolidWorks converts your 2D work to your 3D models instantly.  Furthermore, you will also save time with the following SolidWorks features: 

SWIFT™ (SolidWorks Intelligent Feature Technology) and our heads-up interface, you are now able to create and deliver innovative, accurate 3D models, by making fewer selections and clicks. 

  • SWIFT ™ (SolidWorks Intelligent Feature Technology).  With a small learning curve, this technology allows beginners to design practitioners alike.
  • Heads-up interface.  Create innovative and accurate 3D models with fewer selections and clicks.
  • FeatureXpert.  Add fillets and draft features for your models with speed and ease, instead of trial-and-error.
  • Model complete systems; even those with tens of thousands of parts – in their entirety within SolidWorks. 
  • Fully associative top-down & bottom-up design techniques. Make a change, and SolidWorks applies it across your entire model.
  • Advanced surfacing tools for creating complex aerodynamic shapes and composite surfaces.  Create complex ergonomic shapes and surfaces by simply pushing and pulling on control points.  
  • Sheet-metal design tools with ready-made Smart Fasteners Technology. 
  • Mold development & analysis tools.
  • Configuration management for parts and assemblies. 
  • Design tools to develop automated pneumatic systems, hydraulic, piping, tubing and electrical wiring and integrating them with mechanical designs. 
  • Easy and transparent integration for a wide range of SolidWorks partner solutions.

Reduce Weight and Costs

Before committing to costly physical prototypes, SolidWorks gives you the right tools to optimize your models for weight and materials.

SolidWorks also offers:

  • Fully integrated Finite Element Analysis (FEA) software.  Eliminate mechanism and structural design failure with stress, thermal, kinematics, and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis capabilities.
  • DFMXpress. Test your models on screen in order to detect manufacturing issues, rather than on the production floor.

Acquire New Customers

SolidWorks gives you a competitive edge when it comes to acquiring new customers.  Using tools like SolidWorks PDM and SolidWorks Search, you can locate more rapidly the existing designs that demonstrate your experience and competence to prospects, while quoting projects more efficiently.   
  

SolidWorks also offers:

  • SolidWorks eDrawings®, DWGviewer and 3D Instant Website.  Securely and effectively communicate your work in 3D to any business, regardless of their CAD platform. Share in a safe and efficient 3D works with any company regardless of the platform used for CAD.

  • PhotoWorks™ and SolidWorks animation capabilities. Use photorealistic renderings and animations to demonstrate more precisely how your products will appear and perform.
