DriveWorks Pro is the ultimate SOLIDWORKS® automation, 3D product configurator, and CPQ solution for manufacturers. It is used by manufacturers of custom products in a wide range of industries, including HVAC, transportation, materials handling, architectural components, and furniture.

Using DriveWorks Solo, design engineers automate repetitive SOLIDWORKS® tasks so they can produce designs faster and with improved accuracy. It also provides engineers with more time to work on other design tasks. A 30-day free trial of DriveWorks Solo comes with instant access to a full feature trial, learning resources, and the opportunity to discuss your implementation with a DriveWorks technical expert.

Join the DriveWorks team at 3DEXPERIENCE World 2026 in Houston next month to learn more about DriveWorks technology. Come and visit us at our booth or join us at one of our presentations. Feel free to also speak to any of the DriveWorks team to get their advice on how to get the most out of the event. We look forward to seeing you there!

DriveWorks design automation solution enables manufacturers to automate repetitive, time-consuming SOLIDWORKS® tasks so teams can focus on increasing throughput, solving custom design challenges, and improving existing products and processes. Oasis Trailer MFG use DriveWorksXpress to calculate the rules and drive their SOLIDWORKS models, reducing design time by 75%.

Design automation enables engineers to quickly and accurately generate different versions of CAD parts, assemblies, and drawings, giving them more time to work on product development and innovation. DriveWorksXpress is a design automation tool included free with every seat of SOLIDWORKS®, so you can start automating any part of your product design today!

Manufacturers of custom products use DriveWorks technology to automate complex engineering tasks, maintain quality standards, and deliver customized products faster. Frangus Ltd specialize in the design of materials handling equipment for the rail and construction industry. They use DriveWorks Solo to automate the creation of their models, drawings and data, reducing configuration time from 3 hours to 3 minutes.

KÖGL GmbH, based in Germany, manufacture custom vehicle and workplace equipment for professional use. Using DriveWorks technology, they have built an online product configurator, giving customers 24/7 access to accurately configure products to meet their needs. Streamlining and integrating design and sales workflows has reduced time pressure and freed up time for new developments.

DriveWorks enables manufacturers to automate complex engineering tasks, maintain quality standards, and deliver customized products efficiently. Blommaert Aluminium, based in Belgium, manufacture custom aluminium solutions for maritime and industrial clients. Using DriveWorks, they have reduced the time taken to get to production, captured engineering knowledge, prevented errors, and ensured consistent product assembly.

Manufacturing custom products comes with a unique set of challenges. Because every order is different, it’s easy for workflows to slow down and for bottlenecks to appear, leading to delayed quotes and orders, increased costs, and reduced sales volumes. DriveWorks technology enables manufacturers to accurately configure custom products, apply real-time pricing, and automatically create documents and data for sales and manufacturing.

Sharing technical know-how and practical experience informally with each other is something we know many people using DriveWorks like to do. Our DriveWorks Drivers meetings are designed to provide a platform for connecting DriveWorks users from around the world. We recently hosted our December Drivers meeting, with a global audience joining us. Check out the meeting round-up.

In the custom medical equipment manufacturing industry, accuracy and compliance are key requirements. However, delivering highly customized products with traditional manufacturing processes leads to bottlenecks, errors, and long sales cycles. With DriveWorks, medical equipment manufacturers optimize engineering processes, maintain high-quality standards, and shorten sales cycles for custom products.
