SolidWorks

SOLIDWORKS is 3D product design software that provides tools for parametric modeling, assembly creation, and 2D technical drawing, helping engineers move from concept to production. It allows users to design parts, simulate performance with finite element analysis and other simulations, create computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) instructions, and manage design data. for weldments, sheet metal, and electrical design.
