Overview

SOLIDWORKS Professional offers a multitude of expertly crafted features that build beyond SOLIDWORKS Standard including design checker and drawing comparison, advanced design verification, pre-built CAD libraries, manufacturing cost estimation and quoting, product data management, SOLIDWORKS Visualize, eDrawings Professional and CAD import/export.

SOLIDWORKS Professional is the necessity to increase your teams design productivity. The advanced file management and collaboration tools, like ECAD/ MCA, create a seamless flow for every project. With automated task scheduling you can ensure that projects are being completed on time. Keep productivity and innovation at their peaks with SOLIDWORKS Professional.

SOLIDWORKS Professional includes the features in SOLIDWORKS Standard, plus:

File Management

SOLIDWORKS PDM Standard helps individuals and small workgroups manage project data, control their design revisions, and control access to files, accelerating the design process and increasing productivity.

Manufacturing Cost Estimation & Quoting

SOLIDWORKS Costing saves time and development costs, avoid redesigns, and increase productivity by continuously checking your designs against cost targets with integrated cost estimation tools.

ECAD/MCAD Data Sharing

Share data between electrical CAD (ECAD) and mechanical CAD (MCAD) designers using the CircuitWorks™ tool

Standards Checking

SOLIDWORKS Design Checker allows you to establish design standards and easily check drawings (or models) to create uniform designs and related documentation, which speeds up product development, saves time, and increases productivity.

Design Collaboration

Use powerful eDrawings® Professional software to increase collaboration, accelerate your design process, and increase productivity by easily viewing and sharing SOLIDWORKS 3D models and 2D drawings in an email-ready format.

Task Scheduling

SOLIDWORKS Task Scheduler, a software utility included with SOLIDWORKS Professional puts your system to work while you're away. It lets you run resource intensive processes (such as batch importing, exporting, and printing) when the computer is normally idle, freeing you to focus on more creative projects.

CAD Library

SOLIDWORKS Toolbox provides libraries of prebuilt 3D CAD models and other CAD data that help accelerate the design process, save time and development costs, and increase productivity.

Tolerance Analysis

Quickly and easily check dimensions and tolerances using SOLIDWORKS Professional TolAnalyst software to assess the manufacturability of your design long before reaching production. Check parts and assembly tolerances during design, accelerating the design process, saving time and development costs, and increasing productivity.

Advanced Photorealistic Rendering

SOLIDWORKS® Visualize Standard enables designers, engineers, and content creators across all industries to create compelling visual content of their designs with unparalleled ease and flexibility. By utilizing photo-quality content early in the design process, more informed design decisions can be made, as well as receiving useful early feedback from sales teams and potential customers.

Reverse Engineering

Streamline the design process using SOLIDWORKS ScanTo3D to create new designs—or recreate existing designs—based on ones that already exist. Reverse engineering can accelerate product development and reduce risk, save time, and increase productivity.

Design for Manufacturability

Check your design and verify manufacturability of your product early in the development process using SOLIDWORKS Professional, saving time and development costs, improving productivity, and accelerating your time-to-market.
