- Consumer Product Design
The consumer products industry focuses on designing and producing everyday goods with an emphasis on aesthetics, functionality, and user experience. Speed to market and innovation are crucial. CAD tools enable rapid concept development, ergonomic design, and visual rendering, helping brands deliver appealing and high-quality products efficiently.
Consumer Product Design
SOLIDWORKS enables fast and innovative design of consumer products using intuitive 3D CAD tools. This CAD software helps bring creative concepts to life with precision, from electronics to home appliances. With built-in simulation, designers can test durability, fit, and function early in the process—reducing time to market and improving product quality. SOLIDWORKS empowers teams to deliver stylish, reliable, and cost-effective products efficiently.

How SOLIDWORKS helped these industries
Faster Product Design with Visual Prototyping
SOLIDWORKS enabled rapid design of home appliances, electronics, packaging, and lifestyle products with realistic 3D models and photorealistic rendering using SOLIDWORKS Visualize.
Streamlined Design for Ergonomics and Aesthetics
With powerful surface modeling tools, designers created smooth, stylish, and ergonomic shapes that aligned with user experience (UX) and market trends.
Design Validation with Virtual Testing
Using SOLIDWORKS Simulation, consumer product teams performed drop tests, stress analysis, and thermal simulations to ensure durability and performance before physical prototyping.
Easy Integration of Electronics and Plastics
SOLIDWORKS facilitated seamless collaboration between mechanical and electrical design—ideal for products with plastic housings, circuit boards, and buttons using SOLIDWORKS Electrical and PCB.
Efficient Packaging Design and Label Placement
The platform helped brands create custom packaging, check fit and clearance, and optimize label positioning with real-time visual feedback.
Weight Optimization and Material Usage Efficiency
SOLIDWORKS Design Tables and DriveWorks enabled automation for product variants, especially helpful for brands offering custom colors, sizes, or features.
