SOLIDWORKS provides a full set of tools for designing special purpose machinery, covering machined parts, sheet‑metal components and welded structures. Features such as Hole Wizard, CAM toolpath creation and automatic flat‑pattern generation speed up manufacturing preparation. Weldments offer structural profiles for quick frame construction, and assemblies can be checked for clearance, tolerance and interference. Toolbox fasteners size themselves automatically, while 2D drawings update instantly when models change. Integrated simulation validates designs without relying on physical prototypes, and PDM manages revisions and secure file storage for efficient engineering control.
