Industrial Equipment Design
Power Your Industrial Equipment Design with SOLIDWORKS
SOLIDWORKS for Industrial Equipment Design
Industrial equipment design involves large-scale, complex assemblies with tightly integrated mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, and pneumatic systems. Managing these efficiently while maintaining accuracy across documentation and teams is a constant challenge.
SOLIDWORKS provides a complete SOLIDWORKS design platform — from 3D CAD modelling and simulation to data management and manufacturing output — purpose-built for the demands of industrial equipment manufacturers. As an authorised SOLIDWORKS reseller, we help you find the right SOLIDWORKS licenses at the right SOLIDWORKS cost for your team.
Challenges in Industrial Equipment Design
Industrial equipment manufacturers face unique engineering complexities that traditional CAD tools struggle to address efficiently.
1. Large Assemblies / Industrial Equipment
Due to the number of parts involved from hundreds to thousands, are very hard to navigate through and make modifications to within a traditional CAD environment.
2. Multi-Discipline Designs
When you are trying to bring Mechanical, Electrical, Hydraulic and Pneumatic systems together into one design environment there are numerous conflicts that happen and cause rework prior to production.
3. Expensive Physical Prototypes
Without digital validation of the design, you will not be able to identify design flaws until after you have spent a tremendous amount of money on raw materials and manufactured products.
4. Drawings and BOMs Out of Sync
Drawing maintenance across design change leads to defective documents used in production by the operator due to manually maintaining the assembly instructions and Bill of Materials (BOMs).
5. Team Members & Suppliers Collaborate Without Version Control
Multiple teams working together without a common version control system can lead to the wrong version of a file being used by team members, resulting in errors that can be very costly.
How SOLIDWORKS Solves These Challenges
SOLIDWORKS delivers an end-to-end design platform built specifically for the complexity of industrial equipment manufacturing.
1. 3D CAD for Advanced Design
SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD offers parametric, intelligent modelling of parts, weldments, sheet metal, and full assemblies — all from one SOLIDWORKS design environment.
2. Large Assembly Performance
Tools such as SpeedPak and Simplified Configurations allow large assemblies to stay fast and manageable, no matter how many components.
3. Simulate Before You Create
SOLIDWORKS Simulation (FEA) and Flow Simulation (CFD) allow you to test the structural integrity, fluids and heat of your designs digitally — saving you significant prototyping costs.
4. Automated Documentation
Drawings, BOMs, and Cut Lists are generated directly through the 3D model and are automatically updated if the design is modified — no manual effort required.
5. Data Management Through PDM
SOLIDWORKS PDM keeps all your files with version control, approval workflow and role-based access so that every team member has access to the same version of a document.
6. Direct Manufacturing Output
SOLIDWORKS CAM links your design model to CNC machining with associative toolpaths, so dimensional changes are automatically updated.
