“We needed a design tool that was both easy to use and operated inside a browser in the cloud across our distributed team, so we chose the design tools on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform because they operate the closest to how SOLIDWORKS works.”
DEVELOPING INNOVATIVE ROCK FARMING/CARBON CAPTURE SYSTEM
RockFarm, formerly NASKA robotics, switched to SOLIDWORKS 3D Sculptor, SOLIDWORKS 3D Creator, and ENOVIA® Collaborative Industry Innovator on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. These tools were chosen for their ease of use, ability to meet design and management needs, and cloud-based browser functionality.

Frequently Asked Questions
3D sculpting and 3D modeling are popular techniques in creating digital 3D objects, but they differ in approach and end result.
A 3D sculpting software mimics traditional 3d modeling techniques, allowing artists to mold and shape a digital lump of clay in a intuitive way. A sculpted model is treated as a unified entity, akin to a statue, which tends to result in larger file sizes and often poses greater challenges for editing.
On the other hand, a 3D modeler allows modifications at the sub-object level, enabling artists to manipulate vertices, edges and faces within the polygon mesh structure of the item. 3D modeling follows a more technical and precise approach. It involves constructing 3D objects through mathematical and geometric methods, using points, edges, and polygons to build details to meshes. This method is excellent for optimizing models with a lower polygon count, creating objects with hard edges, and achieving exact geometry. It's often used in architectural and product design.
While distinct, these methods frequently complement each other in a professional 3D artist's workflow, delivering hyperrealistic results.
Through you dedicated support community you will have access to a wide range of e-learning lessons as well as ask questions to product experts in the community.
Additionally, in the first few days of your purchase you will have an onboarding meeting with a 3DEXPERIENCE platform expert to help you get started accessing your solution and finding your learning content
While parametric tools can be too rigid, 3D Sculptor provides a browser based sub-d modeling tool set with a wide range of modeling capabilities.
3D Sculptor features direct import and export so you can easily bring designs into other 3DEXPERIENCE Solutions, like 3D Creator as well as CAD programs like SOLIDWORKS.
You can import all of the following CAD data. Users can add new Sub-D components. However, there is no tool to convert imported geometry into an editable sub-d mesh.
