Solid Edge for Designers & Manufacturers of Plastic Components

Digitalize engineering processes. Digitalize your entire product development process and transform your business. Streamline engineering processes with 3D digital models. Add intelligence to 3D models throughout the product development lifecycle.

Improve productivity with next-generation design. Make digital representations of existing designs with reverse engineering. Work easily with 3D models in both mesh-based and traditional CAD formats.

Speed plastic component design with 3D CAD. Quickly produce accurate 3D part models and 2D drawings. Use wizards to place common plastic features such as bosses, lips and vents quickly and consistently. Use a history-free approach to 3D CAD with synchronous technology.

Visualize design intent. Demonstrate your product using the latest visualization technologies including 3D rendering. Experience true-scale digital prototypes in real-world environments with augmented reality. Access CAD data from anywhere using mobile viewing applications.

Respond quickly and accurately to RFQs. Shorten RFQ preparation time by reusing data from previous proposals using data management solutions. Rapidly assess product and tool costing with product costing software.

Manage customer requirements. Reduce business risk by ensuring customer requirements are met by linking them to 3D CAD models. Work directly with 3D parts while simultaneously managing project requirements with requirements management.

Create unique products based on organic shapes. Develop distinctive products using subdivision modeling technology without the need for expert knowledge. Solid Edge offers advanced capabilities for shape creation, manipulation, and analysis, with intuitive freeform modeling tools that create stylized shapes.

Accelerate aesthetic surface design. Use digital models to test, validate and optimize designs. Reduce or eliminate the need for physical prototypes with scalable simulation tools.

Ensure manufacturability. Define and execute a wide range of traditional and new manufacturing processes including CNC machining and additive manufacturing.

Prepare design for 3D printing. Create world-class products using the latest 3D printing and additive manufacturing techniques. Use generative design techniques with topology optimization to create radical new designs that minimize weight and material usage.

Manage design projects and engineering change. Retrieve data quickly, optimize resources and manage engineering changes with design management capabilities that provide a visual approach to managing complex design data. Accelerate product development while reducing errors with built-in data management and Teamcenter integration.

Access design projects from anywhere. Access design information while working out of the office and at remote locations. Cloud-based collaboration offers a secure way to share and collaborate around product information regardless of origin.

Publish interactive technical documentation. Streamline your documentation process by eliminating the need to convert CAD files using technical publication solutions. Create parts lists, raster and vector graphics, and multi-page digital documents for training and work instruction packages that include interactive 3D graphics.
