Over the years, SOLIDWORKS has built its reputation as an easy-to-use and affordable software built on the Microsoft Windows platform. To operate SOLIDWORKS, we need a proper workstation with qualified pre-requisites of hardware and software.
Here’s where SOLIDWORKS Cloud Offer comes into play.
The SOLIDWORKS Cloud Offer is a selection of solutions geared exclusively to mechanical and industrial designers who typically work in the industrial equipment, high tech, life sciences, and home & lifestyle industries. The Offer includes a selection of various design roles at a significantly reduced price. There is no software to install to start designing in 3D, updates happen automatically, and license management is streamlined. Work from any location in the world with an internet connection.
The roles that are included in this offer provide the functionalities of parametric design, subdivision modelling, sheet metal and structure design, detailing for manufacturing and rendering. Since we are running the applications from a web browser on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, we are able to collaborate easily, to share content and communicate with every stakeholder of a project, with a single source of truth.
Let’s take a closer look at the 4 designing roles included in the SOLIDWORKS Cloud Offer.
