Solid Works

SolidWorks is a 3D parametric design software that is used to design all sorts of products such as automobiles, marine equipment, airplane parts, cell phones, cameras, furniture, electrical assemblies, glasses, lighting fixtures, toys, vacuum cleaners, or any other like product you can think of. SolidWorks is typically used to design assemblies that work mechanically that are typically less than 200 parts.
