- Simplified product development workflow interactions
Another time-saving tool in the Smart Manufacturing category is SOLIDWORKS Inspection, which automates the manual inspection process. Creating manual reports can take hours and days. SOLIDWORKS Inspection can complete reports in minutes.
For those with touch-enabled devices, the new dedicated tools enable touch mode and touch sketching. Topology Study is another next generation-inspired feature where the computer guides optimal design with validated results that can be leveraged for traditional manufacturing.
- Additional new end-to-end process solutions to be gradually rolled out
Dassault Systèmes has launched SOLIDWORKS 2018, the latest release of its portfolio of 3D design and engineering applications. SOLIDWORKS 2018 features an integrated, end-to-end solution for the design to manufacturing process.
Powered by Dassault Systèmes’ 3DEXPERIENCE platform, SOLIDWORKS 2018 supports a business’ complete design through manufacturing strategy with solutions that simplify the interactions between disciplines across the product development workflow. This unified process leverages smart manufacturing — a connected and seamless flow of data that is available to all teams involved in product development whenever, wherever and in whatever format is needed.
With SOLIDWORKS 2018, teams can collaborate concurrently to more rapidly and cost-efficiently design a product or part, validate its function and manufacturability, manage its data and related processes, streamline and automate its manufacturing, and inspect it. Any changes in design or manufacturing are fast and easy to manage and automatically flow to all related models, programs, drawings and documentation, thanks to intellectual property embedded early on in the design process.
A key feature of SOLIDWORKS 2018 for this process is SOLIDWORKS CAM, a new application that provides rules-based machining with knowledge capture to allow for the automation of manufacturing programming. Teams will be able to execute new “build to order” strategies with custom parts that are automatically designed and programmed in seconds rather than hours.
Key capabilities include part and assembly machining, 2.5 axis milling, two axis turning, and tolerance-based machining that will eliminate hours of complex programming. Designers and engineers can gain a greater understanding of how their designs are made, make more informed decisions, and quickly create prototype parts and manufacture in-house to control quality, cost and delivery.

“A successful consumer experience must have a well-designed product at its core and an efficient way to produce it. SOLIDWORKS 2018 brings more than just a smarter approach to manufacturing parts or products, it helps businesses translate imagination into innovation and build ecosystems,” said Gian Paolo Bassi, CEO, SOLIDWORKS, Dassault Systèmes. “As with past releases, many of SOLIDWORKS 2018’s new tools and enhancements respond to the SOLIDWORKS community’s insight and feedback, equipping them with more power and capabilities to bring great designs to manufacturing faster, with higher quality and at lower costs. Over the next few months, we will roll out additional end-to-end process solutions aimed to help the community further improve its business outcomes.”
In November, SOLIDWORKS will roll out its Distributed Data Management and Design to Analyst process solutions. In February 2018 Dassault Systèmes will share more 3DEXPERIENCE Platform updates with electronics computer aided design/Internet of Things (ECAD/IoT) updates to arrive in May 2018.
