Intuitive and Powerful Product Design With SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD

SOLIDWORKS is one of the most robust and widely used CAD packages available today. Intuitive workflows allow you to design and document your products quickly and efficiently, and a wide and robust toolset allows you to use the right tool for the job. Create parts and assemblies, and use specialized tools for weldments, sheet metal, plastic molded parts, pipe routing, and many more.

SOLIDWORKS uses parametric design, meaning that underlying intelligence drives your design and makes changes easy. It is associative so that changes made to parts and assemblies automatically update in drawings and other places the component is used.

3D Modeling for Parts and Assemblies
Convert your ideas into 3D models of parts and assemblies in no time. For simple concept modeling, quickly generate 3D designs using imported graphics, simple sketches, or 3D scan data, then add detail as your design concept develops. Direct model editing is available in SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD, allowing you to change and revise your geometry while working directly on your 3D CAD models.
Synced 2D Drawings
Create associative 2D drawings from your 3D models that clearly illustrate how to produce and assemble your design. Associativity in SOLIDWORKS connects your 2D drawing to the 3D model, allowing changes to the model to be reflected in the drawing.
Search, Automation, and Configuration Tools
Using tools such as search, automation, and configuration tools, you can easily exploit your existing data to reduce design and development timelines.
Share and Collaborate Designs
3D Interconnect, Product Data Management (PDM), eDrawings®, and other collaboration tools are available in SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD. These technologies make it easier for your design team to collaborate with all project stakeholders across your organization. Protect confidential information, manage data, and keep track of design revisions.
Collision and Interference Detection
Before sending designs to production, use SOLIDWORKS Interference Check to ensure that the parts and assemblies you design will fit, assemble, and work correctly. This will save you time in the product development process.
Simulation Analysis Tools
SimulationXpress is a simple analysis tool included with SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD that lets you perform basic stress analysis on your part designs. This tool may be used to quickly calculate the effects of force and pressure. It can also be used to create reports that detail the outcomes of your experiments.
SOLIDWORKS CAM/CAMWorks Tools
CAMWorks® is used to power SOLIDWORKS CAM Standard. This tool is a 2.5-axis milling programming solution in one package. SOLIDWORKS CAM can improve communication, reduce errors, shorten cycle times, and improve product quality in your design-to-manufacturing process. With a current SOLIDWORKS CAD subscription, SOLIDWORKS CAM Standard is offered for free.
3D Interconnect for CAD File Import and Export
To convert imported CAD data to the SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD file format or to export SOLIDWORKS files to other file formats, use one of the 30+ translators available. Most major CAD formats are opened immediately inside SOLIDWORKS without the requirement to convert or save them as SOLIDWORKS files with 3D Interconnect.
SOLIDWORKS Toolbox
Access a library of standard parts and fasteners that can be customized to your company's standards. Help automate the size and location of fasteners, saving time and streamlining the design process.
SOLIDWORKS Costing
SOLIDWORKS Costing is an integrated, automatic cost estimation tool that lets you compare your designs to cost targets instantly. To minimize costly redesigns and production delays, keep track of your manufacturing expenses while you're designing. SOLIDWORKS Costing can also be used to automate your quoting procedures.
ECAD/MCAD Connection
CircuitWorks allows you to share data between your electrical and mechanical teams. You can use this application to communicate, compare, update, and track your electrical design data, allowing you to swiftly resolve any electrical-mechanical integration or cooperation issues.
Design Checker
The SOLIDWORKS Design Checker allows you to generate uniform designs, drawings, and documentation by establishing design criteria and checking drawings or models against them.
eDrawings® Professional
Improve collaboration by using eDrawings® to quickly and accurately inspect, measure, and mark-up drawings in a simple, email-ready format.
Tolerance Analysis
The TolAnalyst tool in SOLIDWORKS examines the effects of tolerances on your part and assembly designs automatically. Before sending a product into production, these inspections assure a consistent fit of your components and verify tolerancing methods. If/when you make a dimensioning or tolerancing adjustment, rerun the analysis to optimize your tolerancing scheme.
Photorealistic Rendering
Create realistic visual material from your 3D models quickly and effectively for marketing, product pitches, and more. With a valid SOLIDWORKS subscription, SOLIDWORKS Visualize Standard is provided for free.
Data & File Management
SOLIDWORKS PDM Standard organizes your users and teams by storing and managing data and files. Organize project data, changes, and file access.
Reverse Engineering
SOLIDWORKS ScanTo3D allows you to effortlessly build designs based on existing objects by importing, editing, evaluating, and creating solid geometry from 3D scanning data.
Time-Based Motion Analysis
Examine how your product would move in real life, take measurements of forces and stresses on your design, and utilize the information to determine motor size and build the optimum mechanism for performance, quality, and safety.
Linear Static Analysis
The stresses and deformations of your design geometry are calculated using linear static analysis. This can be used during the design process to lessen your reliance on prototypes and development delays.
Routing: Pipes, Tubes, Electrical Cables, Wiring Harnesses
SOLIDWORKS makes designing and documenting pipe and tubing much easier. Routing is the process of constructing a channel of pipes, tubes, or electrical cables between components using a particular subassembly. Route rectangular and round portions such as ducting, cable trays, conveyors, material handling chutes, and other systems using SOLIDWORKS routing.
Surface Flattening Functionality
Surface flattening functionality is included in SOLIDWORKS, and it provides control and flexibility for flattening surfaces created by shaping a flat material – such as sheet metal – into complicated shapes.
CATIA V5 Import
Using 3D Interconnect and SOLIDWORKS Premium, you can open CATIA V5 .CATPart and .CATProduct files up to V5R27, including custom properties, material properties, and PMI (additional license required).

HOW CAN HAWK RIDGE SYSTEMS HELP?

At Hawk Ridge, we have one of the largest SOLIDWORKS technical teams in North America and have helped thousands of customers take their first steps into SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD. A few examples include:

We helped a major industrial machinery manufacturer convert from another 3D CAD system, helping to plan the conversion of files and migration of prior data, user training, and adapting the software to the customer’s specific practices.

We helped a medical device manufacturer adopt SOLIDWORKS as a design platform, and then quickly integrate a PDM system, analysis tools, and electrical design within the same platform. This streamlined several disparate processes and helped align design operations in one system.

We worked with a manufacturer of architectural components to move from AutoCAD 2D to SOLIDWORKS. We helped recreate important 2D files in SOLIDWORKS 3D, and retrained users to apply their 2D design skills in a 3D environment. The company saw a significant decrease in design and manufacturing errors working in 3D.
