VS 
In this blog, we will explore two lesser-known products in SOLIDWORKS eco system and what benefits they bring to the table.
First off, what comes to your mind when you hear the word "Visualize"?
To many, visualize is to form a mental image or imagine something.
How about the word “Composer”?
This would be a person who writes music, with particular reference to classical music notation.
Now, let us see how the direct definition of the words relate to the functionality of our two products mentioned.
SOLIDWORKS Visualize
SOLIDWORKS Visualize is an application which has the ability to create professional, photo-quality images, as well as animations and other interactive 3D content.
In essence, it acts like a camera, bringing to life your CAD data. Marketing to the masses, whom may not be intrigued by simply viewing products in its plain 2D or 3D CAD environment.
With SOLIDWORKS Visualize, consumers can get an aesthetically pleasing virtual depiction of your products.
Samples:
SOLIDWORKS Visualize comes in two packages : Visualize Standard and Visualize Professional.
Visualize Standard comes free with any SOLIDWORKS CAD Professional/Premium license on active license subscription. But can also be purchased separately.
Active license subscription customers can also attend our ASB: Animation & Rendering class for free: https://seacadtech.com/trainings/asb-animation-rendering/
Visualize Professional needs to be purchased separate to your SOLIDWORKS CAD license.

Give yourself the ability to create and publish high-quality:
- Interactive part catalogues with bill of materials, exploded views, etc.
