Design automation for SOLIDWORKS®
Automatically create order-specific SOLIDWORKS parts, assemblies, and drawings
DriveWorks Solo is the ideal solution to transform how you design, configure and sell custom products. 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.
What is DriveWorks Solo?
Powerful SOLIDWORKS part, assembly, and drawing automation
DriveWorks Solo sits in the SOLIDWORKS task pane, enabling engineers to configure custom products and automatically generate order-specific SOLIDWORKS parts, assemblies, and drawings.
With DriveWorks Solo, bottlenecks disappear. Instead of recreating “same but different” designs, engineers set their rules once, and then DriveWorks automatically generates new designs. Working with adjustments for length, width, material, etc, DriveWorks automatically creates new design variations in minutes.
DriveWorks Solo is fast, accurate, and reliable.
It is used by design engineers in a wide range of industries, including HVAC, transportation, materials handling, architectural components, and furniture.
Why choose DriveWorks Solo?
DriveWorks has been automating SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD since 2001, and DriveWorks Solo is a SOLIDWORKS Certified Gold Product. DriveWorks Solo delivers several benefits for design engineers, including:
- Faster designs
- Improved accuracy
- Design consistency
Faster designs
DriveWorks design automation technology uses rules-based logic based on engineering knowledge. It enables engineers to capture detailed design know-how for a wide range of product variables.
Repetitive design revision tasks that previously required a significant amount of time and resources are automatically generated by DriveWorks Solo. This not only speeds up design output but also frees up design engineers to work on more creative work, such as new product development.
Improved accuracy
Because DriveWorks Solo works on preset rules and conditions, design revisions are automatically generated according to the preset parameters.
Removing the manual element of design revisions reduces the risk of human error and improves overall accuracy rates.
Benefits associated with improved accuracy include cost savings as a result of less rework and wastage, streamlined workflows, faster design cycles, and improved customer satisfaction.
Design consistency
DriveWorks Solo ensures consistency in design by using standardized rules and parameters. The rules-based technology guarantees that design standards are met at every stage of the process, ensuring design consistency for all product configurations.
The rules-based technology inside DriveWorks Solo ensures designs are compliant with applicable industry standards and regulations across different regions and countries. Confidence in design consistency enables manufacturers to scale up easily and expand into new markets.
The biggest benefit of DriveWorks is the time we are saving. The significant time saved can be used for developing new products.
