Powered by Dassault Systèmes’ 3DEXPERIENCE platform, SOLIDWORKS 2018 supports the complete design-to-manufacturing strategy with solutions that simplify cross-disciplinary interactions throughout the product design workflow. This unified process leverages smart manufacturing, a connected and seamless data flow that is available to all teams involved in product development whenever, wherever, and in whatever format is needed, without requiring data to be transferred from one system to another.

A key feature of SOLIDWORKS 2018 for this process is SOLIDWORKS CAM, a new application that provides rules-based machining to automate manufacturing scheduling. Designers and engineers can gain a deeper understanding of how designs are created, make more informed decisions, quickly create prototype parts, and manufacture in-house to control quality, cost, and delivery. This application also enables teams to implement new build-to-order strategies with custom parts that are automatically designed and scheduled in seconds instead of hours.
