3D Creator | Parametric Design
3D Creator is a design role made up of task-specific apps available in the 3DEXPERIENCE® Works portfolio. 3D Creator gives users the freedom to design on any internet-connected device, such as a mobile device or tablet. This powerful 3D parametric design solution is fully equipped and able to stand alone, but could also be used in conjunction with SOLIDWORKS® 3D CAD as it is fully interoperable with it, and also with all other 3DEXPERIENCE Works design roles, such as 3D Sculptor.
3D Sculptor | Freeform Design
What if your job was more fun? With 3D Sculptor it can be. 3D Sculptor is a design role that runs in the cloud, for designers to create, review and evaluate complex shapes. With easy-to-use push and pull functionality, you can simply pick up your connected device anytime inspiration strikes.
3D SheetMetal Creator | Sheet Metal Design
It is time to start building components, assemblies, enclosures, and more with purpose-built, associative parametric sheet metal design tools. 3D SheetMetal Creator has a specialized, all-in-one 3D sheet metal design environment that streamlines how you create, store, validate, and manage designs. Create innovative sheet metal designs and bring your products to market faster with the power of 3DEXPERIENCE® Works.
3D Structure Creator | Structure Design
The 3D Structure Creator role is a browser-based 3D modeling solution with all the essentials for structure and frame design, complete with a dedicated interface and feature set tailored for designers, engineers and fabricators. Not only can you create, but you can also share, and collaborate in real time with your team, customers and clients in one simple cloud-based environment on the 3DEXPERIENCE® platform. The end result is better design and faster time to market. Need we say more?
Manufacturing Definition Creator | Detailing for Manufacturing
Manufacturing Definition Creator is a browser-based role in the 3DEXPERIENCE® Works portfolio that combines model-based and drawing-based capabilities in one integrated solution. Easily define 3D models and quickly produce 2D drawings from them in a matter of mouse clicks. The combination of 2D and 3D definition capabilities delivers next-generation flexibility, empowering you to choose the best output for the job and meet stakeholders’ needs.
3D Render | Rendering
The 3D Render role is an easy-to-use, browser-based solution that enables makers, designers, and CGI artists to create renderings for design review or marketing and share them utilising the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. The cloud provides a streamlined user experience that enables everyone to validate and promote products anytime, anywhere on any device.
Drafter* | Detailing for Manufacturing
Drafter enables you to quickly create and detail 2D drawings, and communicate how your design must be manufactured. Whenever a change occurs in your 3D model, all drawing views are automatically updated. Using Drafter’s comprehensive dimension, tolerancing and annotation toolset accelerates the product development process by significantly reducing design-to-manufacturing time, while decreasing costs.
Collaborative Industry Innovator | Life Cycle and Data Management
The Collaborative Industry Innovator role provides the essential tools and apps so companies can easily manage and collaborate on any type of design or document on the cloud, in a single, convenient location with the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. Part of the 3DEXPERIENCE® Works portfolio of products, the role securely connects all stakeholders during all phases of the product lifecycle, providing time-saving, browser-based product data and lifecycle management tools.

How does the rendering feature work?
The SOLIDWORKS Cloud Offer includes the 3D Render role (xStudio) to generate photorealistic renderings.
Rendering credits are needed to carry out a rendering job using xStudio. The number of credits required generally varies based on factors such as image size, resolution, and complexity, usually falling within the range of a few credits to 8 per rendering. The number of required credits is indicated and updated in real-time on the rendering job queue.
This offer provides you with 135 credits. If your project demands more, additional credits can be purchased.
What is cloud-based CAD?
Cloud-based CAD refers to a CAD (Computer Aided Design) system that operates on a cloud platform, allowing users to work on their designs via the internet. Unlike traditional CAD systems that are installed on local computers, cloud-based CAD is accessible from any device with an internet connection, which enhances collaboration and flexibility.
Cloud-based CAD systems offer many of the same capabilities as their traditional counterparts, but they also provide additional benefits such as:
- Real-time, multiuser collaboration on projects
- Robust version control to maintain design integrity
- Reduced hardware costs as all computation is done in the cloud server
