SolidWorks 3D CAD software offers three packages building in functionality and tiered to best suit the needs of your organization. All packages utilize the intuitive SolidWorks user interface to speed your design process and make you instantly productive.
SolidWorks Premium combines the capabilities of SolidWorks Professional with powerful simulation and design validation toolsets, as well as advanced wire and pipe routing functionality.
MicroStation is a CAD software platform for two- and three-dimensional design and drafting, developed and sold by Bentley Systems and used in the architectural and engineering industries. It generates 2D/3D vector graphics objects and elements and includes building information modeling (BIM) features.
Blender is a free and open-source 3D computer graphics software toolset used for creating animated films, visual effects, art, 3D printed models, motion graphics, interactive 3D applications, virtual reality, and computer games.
Autodesk is best known for AutoCAD, but also develops a broad range of software for design, engineering, and entertainment. The manufacturing industry uses Autodesk's digital prototyping software—including Autodesk Inventor, Fusion 360, and the Autodesk Product Design Suite—to visualize, simulate, and analyze real-world performance using a digital model in the design process. The Revit line of software for building information modeling is designed to let users explore the planning, construction, and management of a building virtually before it is built.
