Animation Software

SolidWorks Animator
SolidWorks Animator allows creation of compelling animations from SolidWorks parts and assemblies, enabling more effective communication of design concepts.

Interactive product Animator IPA
Immersive Design's IPA quickly and easily generates 3D interactive documentation. Companies have an opportunity to leverage their engineering assets by repurposing their SolidWorks designs. IPA cuts costs and shortens time to market by reusing 3D designs for assembly, service and repair documentation. IPA reduces errors due to misunderstanding of drawings by delivering 3D animated process and procedure documentation. Assembly methods Service manuals Parts catalogs Technical documentation Animation U3D 3D PDF.

Component Design / Libraries

SolidWorks Toolbox
SolidWorks Toolbox is a time-saving library of standard parts that uses Smart Part Technology to automatically select the appropriate fasteners and assemble them in the proper sequence.

GearTrax and CAMTrax
GearTrax™ GearTrax provides the designer with an easy to use tool for creating solid models of drive components inside of SolidWorks. Your spur, helical and involute splines gears will be created with true involute tooth profiles.

Data Translation Software

FeatureWorks
FeatureWorks is feature recognition software that enables changes to static geometric data, increasing the value of translated files and reducing time spent rebuilding models.

FormatWorks
FormatWorks solves frustrating data incompatibility problems occurring during the import of 3D models into SolidWorks. It extends SolidWorks data import and data translation to deal with problematic 3D models. FormatWorks verifies your 3D model quality in accordance with automotive standard recommendations (VDA4955, AIAG D-15, JAMA) or to defined user standard. The supported data formats include neutral file formats (IGES, VDA-FS) and native translators (optional) for CATIA v4, CATIA v5, Pro/E, CADDS, UGS, etc.

CADporter
CADporter is a bi-directional data translator providing true interoperability between CAD programs. With CADporter, SolidWorks users can read and write CATIA, PRO/E and I-DEAS model files. Easy to operate-simply define the input and output files and the model file is automatically generated.

ToolWorks DocumentCreator
External documents created using SolidWorks are often obsoleted and out-of-date. Changes to your SoildWorks model does not update external documents like, PDF's, eDrawings, DXF's, DWG's and other file types. ToolWorks DocumentCreator offers the power of updated and real-time external documents, linked to your original SolidWorks models.

ToolWorks DocumentCreator automates the creation of documents in your work process. Using the event triggered features inside ToolWorks DocumentCreator, external documents are updated whenever a SolidWorks document is saved or closed.

Input/Output Devices

SpacePilot, SpaceBall, SpaceMouse, SpaceTraveler, CadMan
Using SolidWorks with one of our motion controllers will accelerate your entire workflow. From concept, to sketch, to part, to assembly and drawing, you'll finish faster in every mode. With a 3Dconnexion motion controller, you click less and accomplish more. You'll be amazed that you ever worked with a mouse alone!

Dimension 3D Printers
Functional 3D models, created on a Dimension, enable the designer and all others on the design team to make better informed design decisions, resulting in fewer design changes, better product designs, lower production costs and lower product costs.

Today companies are turning to low cost 3D Printing systems that deliver quality parts, allowing the designer to iterate designs quickly, testing for form, fit and function.

Reverse Engineering / Inspection Software

RevWorks
Create parametric models quickly and easily with RevWorks™, the first feature-based reverse engineering solution for SolidWorks®.

This industry-defining product adds many timesaving tools for capturing component data directly into parts and assemblies, including 2D and 3D sketch tools, SnapScan™ and DirectSurf™. RevWorks turbo charges the creation of solid models with its innovative direct data entry support of popular 3D digitizer and coordinate measuring machines (CMMs). You can collect part data and capture design intent more quickly and precisely than with other technologies which rely strictly on point-cloud scanning. With RevWorks, you need less data and time to create accurate, parametric, editable part definitions directly inside SolidWorks.

Knowledge based Engineering

DriveWorks - Design/Engineer to Order
Does your company design or engineer to Order? Do you have repetitive design tasks that could be automated? Could your products be defined by a set or rules and equations? Do you need a product/sales configurator?

If the answer to any of the above questions is YES then take a closer look at DriveWorks. DriveWorks lets you capture and re-use the rules needed to specify, design, manufacture and engineer to order. DriveWorks lets you automate repetitive tasks and can be easily integrated with other company systems.

Use DriveWorks to generate all the design and manufacturing output required such as 3D models, 2D drawings, DXF's, BOMs and customer quotation.

Viewing, Rendering, Collaboration

eDrawings
eDrawings is a free viewing and publishing application for sharing accurate representations of 2D and 3D models that everyone can understand.

eDrawings Professional
eDrawings Professional is the first email-enabled communication tool that dramatically eases the review of 2D and 3D product design data.

3D Instant Website
3D Instant Website is a single-click web-publishing tool that allows sharing of 3D models with customers, coworkers, and suppliers.

PhotoWorks
PhotoWorks is a best-in-class rendering solution that allows creation of photorealistic images from 3D CAD models, increasing the impact of presentations and proposals.

SolidWorks Animator
SolidWorks Animator allows creation of compelling animations from SolidWorks parts and assemblies, enabling more effective communication of design concepts.

SolidWorks Viewer
SolidWorks Viewer is a free plug-in for viewing SolidWorks parts, assemblies, and drawings. Note: You can also download eDrawings which allow you to view and print native SolidWorks and DWG/DXF files.

Utilities

SolidWorks Utilities
SolidWorks Utilities is productivity enhancement software that allows users to find differences between two versions of the same part or locate, modify, and suppress features within a model.

SolidWorks Design Checker
A timesaving tool for ensuring compliance with your organization's design standards.

ToolWorks BOM Manager
ToolWorks BOM Manager captures your bill of material (BOM) content and lets you edit and manage the content of your BOM from a single window interface. ToolWorks BOM Manager lets you export your SoildWorks bill of material to a number of common file formats like: Microsoft Excel®, eXtended Markup Language XML or comma-separated TXT files. ToolWorks BOM Manager makes it possible to exchange your SolidWorks bill of material to an external system like ERP or MRP.
