SolidWorks Partner Applications The SolidWorks package provides a complete suite of CAD tools - everything you need to make solids, surfaces, sheet metal, mold design, assemblies, drawings, data translations, World Wide Web images, email specs, view files, etc. But what if you need specialized tools for analysis, manufacturing, or data management? SolidWorks has the most complete set of add-in products available in the marketplace.
Some CAD companies say they provide "integrated" applications. But "integrated" really means "proprietary". It means few choices and a take-it-or-leave-it price. Because developers must use a proprietary database, user interface, and development environment, such 3rd party applications have limited appeal.
With the SolidWorks Gold Partner program, users gain all the benefits of tight integration along with marketplace competition. First, Gold Partner applications are single-window integrated. Second, they are associative to changes to the SolidWorks models. Third, they are tested and certified with each release - something no other partner program provides. Finally, because SolidWorks uses Windows-native development tools and user interface, development costs are lower and SolidWorks application partner products offer terrific value.
There are over 300 SolidWorks partner applications. Here is a summary of some of the more popular products we support. We are adding support for new partner applications all the time.
