Description

SOLIDWORKS is a world-leading 3D design, CAD, and product development platform that has defined innovation for engineers and creators for over three decades. Built by Dassault Systèmes, it delivers a unified environment for design, simulation, documentation, and manufacturing—all with the goal of helping users bring ideas to life faster. The 2026 version marks a major leap forward with AI-powered automation, including selective loading for large assemblies, fastener recognition, and AURA AI, an intelligent design companion that boosts productivity. Deep integration with the 3DEXPERIENCE cloud ecosystem allows teams to collaborate securely, access designs anywhere, and connect real-time data from concept to production. With powerful simulation tools, electrical design integration, and streamlined workflows, SOLIDWORKS reduces manual effort and design iteration time dramatically. Its intuitive interface and broad compatibility make it ideal for both professionals and students. Trusted by innovators like Future Motion, Toyota, and Vermeer, SOLIDWORKS continues to shape the future of design and engineering. Whether you’re creating consumer products, vehicles, or complex machinery, it provides everything you need to go from idea to reality.

Description

VariCAD Viewer serves as a software tool for viewing, converting, and printing various file formats, including 2D DWG, DXF, as well as 3D STEP and both 3D and 2D VariCAD files. This software enables users to seamlessly convert DWG files to DXF and vice versa, along with converting STEP files into formats like 3D IGES, SAT, SAB, PDF 3D, PRC 3D, DAE, or STL. Additionally, it supports printing capabilities for 2D files in DWG, DXF, or VariCAD formats, and also features batch printing and conversion options for enhanced productivity. Users can adjust various settings for 3D display methods, such as manipulating light sources or applying perspective views, making it a versatile choice for visual representation. Moreover, the 3D display can be exported as a high-resolution bitmap file, allowing for improved image quality. For those interested, VariCAD Viewer & Converter is available for a trial period of 30 days at no cost, providing an opportunity to explore its features before making a commitment.
