For the past few decades, designers, engineers, fabricators and others involved in sheet metal design often viewed computer-aided design (CAD) systems as geometry and/or drawing generators.
In today’s emerging world, sheet metal designers need an integrated CAD system that not only produces multidisciplinary CAD data but also concurrently leverages 3D CAD data for all other functions, including production.
SOLIDWORKS has some great features to help the fabricators and sheet metal contractors.
SolidWorks 3D design software gives you the flexibility to produce sheet metal part designs quickly and cost-effectively, the SolidWorks sheet metal feature speeds up the design process whilst saving time and development cost and increasing productivity.
Using SOLIDWORKS Sheet Metal tools you can:
# Design 3D solid sheet metal parts and assemblies
