SolidWorks API Add-ins and PDM Workflows
Turn frequent design operations, configuration rules, and data handoffs into reliable engineering tools with SolidWorks API, Add-ins, and PDM API.
SolidWorks extensions that engineering teams can adopt quickly
SolidWorks customization focuses on reducing repeated clicks, manual spreadsheets, and mismatches between configurations, drawings, BOMs, and PDM data.
Dassault SolidWorksCapabilities
Capabilities organized around real engineering workflows, with practical and maintainable delivery as the priority.
Add-in and macro development
