As a simple and easy-to-use 3D designing (CAD/CAE) software, the integrated 3D design environment of SolidWorks covers all aspects of products development. Its comprehensive and abundant modeling functions for parts entity sometimes come as a surprise that is beyond designers' expectations.
In the wake of increasing and perfecting functions of SolidWorks, it is also becoming more powerful, convenient and user-friendly. The combination of its usability and extensive customization enables mechanical engineers to use SolidWorks to improve work efficiency, so as to make sure the enterprise can put their products into the market at a lower cost, better quality and faster speed. The key is, it does not care where you have practical operation experiences of CAD software or not.
In particular, not only can new users quickly learn to use SolidWorks, experienced users can also get higher production capacity in previous tasks that seem to be very complex and sophisticated. Anyhow, SolidWorks will continue to help its tens of thousands of users to fast and conveniently carry out innovation, design, validation, collaboration and manufacturing works, from initial concepts to final products.
