The special purpose machinery market is set to grow significantly, making faster development and cost reduction critical. SOLIDWORKS addresses these challenges by streamlining design with tools for sheet metal, weldments, piping, and electrical routing, while enabling automated drawings and updates. 3D CAD improves validation, reduces prototyping costs, and integrates simulation for stress and optimization analysis. Features like eDrawings and Visualize enhance communication with stakeholders, and PDM ensures secure data management and revision control. SOLIDWORKS also supports design reuse, configuration management, and direct CAD-CAM integration, helping manufacturers deliver innovative, high-quality machines efficiently and profitably.
