Technology that makes a difference
Designed to help engineering teams move faster
Designcenter Solid Edge combines established CAD workflows with tools for reuse, collaboration and downstream product development.
Synchronous TechnologyEdit geometry directly while retaining the benefits of parametric design workflows.
Large Assembly DesignWork with complex product structures and communicate assembly intent clearly.
CAD Data ReuseReuse and modify supported imported CAD models to reduce repetitive rebuilding.
Sheet Metal & FabricationDevelop sheet metal components and manufacturing-ready design information.
Visualization & RenderingPresent product concepts with clear visual communication and review workflows.
Cloud-Ready WorkflowsAccess supported collaboration and data-sharing capabilities as your team needs them.
From concept to production
More than CAD: support across the product lifecycle
Product development rarely stops at a 3D model. Engineering teams must validate performance, prepare production data, manage revisions and communicate how products are assembled, installed and maintained.
Designcenter Solid Edge offers a scalable portfolio that can help connect these activities. Benedes Engineering can discuss licensing, implementation, training and technical support to help align the software with your team's workflow.
