• A special “Touch Mode” for use on mobile and touch screen devices

3D Sculptor

• Main Design app: xShape
• Push and pull interaction to create complex surfaces quickly
• Sketch guides where images and sketches can be used to create 3D surface geometry
• Ability to automatically convert subdivision surfaces to NURBS geometry
• Creation of stylized models faster than parametric tools

3D Sheet Metal Creator

• Main Design app: xSheetMetal
• Create complex 3D sheet metal geometry and automatically generate and view 2D flat pattern geometry
• Review and prepare accurate 2D flat patterns for manufacturing that always stay up to date with the folded geometry
• Easily design sheet metal assemblies and enclosures around existing mechanical or electrical geometry
• Work back and forth with other 3DEXPERIENCE Works tools to design concurrently with your team and create complex assemblies together

3D Structure Creator

• Create structure members based on model edges, 2D sketch elements or curves
• Choose profiles from a library of standard types and sizes
• Automatically trim members at endpoints and corners
• Automatically generate a cut-list based on the design to use for fabrication
• Seamless integration with other 3DEXPERIENCE Works portfolio roles, such as 3D Creator and 3D SheetMetal Creator

Manufacturing Definition Creator

• Create 2D layouts with no extra effort using existing captured views, annotations, dimensions, and tolerances
• Define requirements with drawings tools such as tables, notes, and title blocks
• Access sheet formats, and standards for drawing creation
• 3D definitions translate seamlessly to the 2D drawing so everything stays in sync across the model, 3D definition and 2D drawing
• Define dimensions, tolerances, datum symbols, geometric dimensioning and tolerances (GD&T), balloons, and more
• Capture various orthogonal, axonometric, and custom views at desired perspectives and zoom levels
• Organize annotations into specific views to communicate design intent. Quickly find annotations organized under each view

3D Render

• Choose from various colors, materials and backgrounds to meet design goals and explore other options
• Stage your products with multiple ambience and lighting settings to realistically represent products
• Quickly output different iterations for color, look-and-feel, and backplates

Drafter

• Quickly generate production-ready 2D drawings from your 3D parts and assemblies.
• Drag and drop your 3D model into a drawing to automatically create a view.
• Your drawings are always up-to-date as, at the click of a button, they instantly refresh when you modify your 3D model.
• Create standard and detail views, sections, and more automatically and accurately based on your 3D model.
• Easily apply production-quality dimensions and annotations to your drawings.
• Create all necessary symbols, notes and tables.
• Windows Install for launcher necessary*

Collaborative Business Innovator/3DSwymer (new name)

• Digitally connects all users through powerful apps and services, providing an immersive space where they can collaborate, experiment, and create together. Utilizing the power of the cloud-based 3DEXPERIENCE platform, companies can keep employees, suppliers, partners and customers in the loop, across the globe, anytime, anywhere and on any connected device.

Short-listed apps:

• 3DDashboard- Create dashboards for personalized views for up-to-date information relevant to you, your teams, and executives
• 3DSwym- Create conversation chats, voice/video calls, screen-sharing. Create and access communities to share expertise, knowledge, and skills; assign tasks and much more.
• 3DPlay- An intuitive viewer where CAD models can be visualized, rotated, panned, sectioned, measured, and annotated
• 3DDrive- Securely store, manage, and share files with other designers for editing or for suppliers to preview
  

  Collaborative Industry Innovator

  

• The role provides the essential tools and apps so companies can easily manage and collaborate on any type of design or document on the cloud, in a single, convenient location with the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.
• Part of the 3DEXPERIENCE® Works portfolio of products, it securely connects all stakeholders during all phases of the product lifecycle, providing time-saving, browser-based product data and lifecycle management tools.
• Cloud-based Apps - Easily access apps in a user-friendly interface from any web browser with no installation required
• Data-driven design - Managing designs online instead of locally gives you access to the most up-to-date information
• Design Markup - Collaborative reviews in 2D and 3D. Effectively communicate design feedback with markups using text, circle, arrows and pictures
• Compare Product Designs- Compare designs and product structures to readily identify differences between models or revisions
• Collaboration and Data Management - Access up-to-date design data- share, create, modify, open, save revisions and delete content
• Task Management - Create, assign, share and manage collaborative tasks with direct access to related content
• 3D Issue Management- Capture and document issues right on the 3D design to identify and resolve issues more quickly
