SolidWorks is 100% focused on product design. Its products are marketed in over 100 countries, serving the mechanical design community in leading enterprises in the entire range of manufacturing industries, from machinery, medical, consumer, mold, tool and die, to electrical, power, aerospace, automotive and education.

The SolidWorks Office suite of products combines ease of use with advanced 2D and 3D design tools, enabling companies to unleash design creativity while completing more work in less time. SolidWorks software reduces CAD overhead because it is simple to deploy, use, and maintain, affording engineers more time to focus on designing better products faster.

SolidWorks Intelligent Feature Technology (SWIFT) breakthrough technology puts expert-level 3D CAD techniques in the hands of every user without having to learn special techniques or work-arounds. Toppling the notion that powerful software is necessarily complex, SWIFT technology delivers exponential increases in efficiency while simplifying use of the software. The SolidWorks FeatureXpert eliminates the need for users to worry about feature order in a model. The SolidWorks SketchXpert presents users with solutions to handle any conflicts in sketch dimensions and relationships. The SolidWorks MateXpert deals with conflicts in assembly mates by isolating problems and guiding users to a solution. And the SolidWorks DimXpert extends traditional auto-dimensioning tools by identifying manufacturing features and adding correct dimensioning schemes. SWIFT was named a winner in IndustryWeek magazine’s 2006 Technology and Innovation in Manufacturing Awards Program, celebrating outstanding achievements in technology.

In November 2006, we announced that SolidWorks 2007 software is the first 3D CAD product available and certified by Microsoft Corp. for the new Windows Vista operating system, once again putting SolidWorks customers first in line to enjoy important new capabilities. SolidWorks Vista Edition delivers an enhanced customer experience, empowering customers to work more effectively and design better products.
