The industrial machinery industry focuses on designing and manufacturing complex equipment used in production, automation, and heavy-duty applications. It demands high accuracy, durability, and customization. Engineers rely on advanced CAD tools for large assemblies, motion analysis, and design validation to ensure machines perform reliably under demanding conditions.
Industrial Machinery
SOLIDWORKS empowers the industrial machinery sector with precise 3D CAD tools for designing complex machines and components. This versatile CAD software helps engineers create accurate models, optimize layouts, and streamline assembly processes. With integrated simulation, performance testing under real-world conditions—like stress, motion, and load—is faster and more cost-effective. SOLIDWORKS boosts productivity, reduces design errors, and accelerates time to market for industrial machinery.

How SOLIDWORKS helped these industries
Custom Machine Design Made Faster
SOLIDWORKS allowed companies to quickly develop custom machinery, conveyors, automation systems, and other industrial equipment using parametric modeling and design automation tools.
Large Assembly Handling for Complex Machines
With efficient large assembly management, designers could easily work on massive machines with thousands of parts, ensuring smooth performance and easy navigation.
Integrated Simulation for Load and Motion Analysis
Engineers used SOLIDWORKS Simulation and Motion tools to analyze mechanical stress, dynamic forces, and real-time performance of moving components.
Sheet Metal and Weldment Design Tools
SOLIDWORKS streamlined the design of sheet metal parts, weldments, and structural frames, critical for manufacturing industrial enclosures, brackets, and machine bases.
Automated BOMs and Manufacturing Drawings
It simplified the generation of accurate Bill of Materials, exploded views, and 2D technical drawings, helping reduce errors on the production floor.
Faster Time-to-Market with Configurable Design Templates
Using SOLIDWORKS Design Tables and DriveWorks, companies created configurable design templates, ideal for mass customization and repetitive machine projects.
