What is the SOLIDWORKS Cloud Offer?

The SOLIDWORKS Cloud Offer brings a power-packed grouping of cloud CAD tools for next-generation design solutions running on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. This offer allows you to complete your designs from a web browser with built-in product data and lifecycle management capabilities so you can focus on design and production instead of managing data.

These intuitive, specialized design tools allow you to create mechanical, shape, structure and sheet metal designs, 2D Drawings, 3D annotations, renderings and product documentation.

Key Roles Included with the SOLIDWORKS Cloud Offer

3D Creator

xDesign is the only app included in the 3D Creator role and provides you with all the cloud based parametric CAD modeling capabilities that are described in the role. This app works well with other design applications such as SOLIDWORKS and xShape, and as it is an x-app on 3DEXPERIENCE, its data will work seamlessly throughout the platform.

xShape is the only app included in the 3D Sculptor role and provides you with a cloud-based subdivision modeling. The sub-division modeling technology brings you the power to create organic geometry with a push and pull environment allowing you to create complex geometry traditionally only possible with complex surface modeling. It is fully compatible with the other x-apps on 3DEXPERIENCE, allowing you to design parts on the go and utilize those parts across the various tools.

Who is the SOLIDWORKS Cloud Offer for?

The SOLIDWORKS Cloud Offer is for anyone that wants a fully cloud design solution. While it is not an exact replica of traditional SOLIDWORKS Desktop, the combination of tools provides a powerful way to carry out design, collaboration, and data management. If you are a SOLIDWORKS user, the interface should feel familiar and you will be able to pick it up with no problem. This offer is great for those who want to have the flexibility of CAD modeling online, meaning you can work from any device, anywhere!
