3D CAD & product development

SOLIDWORKS

Intuitive 3D design, simulation, and data management
for end-to-end product development – from concept to production

Innovative products are created where creativity, precision, and efficiency come together. With SOLIDWORKS, you can develop complex mechanical and mechatronic products faster, more reliably, and more economically – from the initial concept to finished production.

CENIT supports you not only in using SOLIDWORKS, but also in strategically integrating it into your development processes – for measurable productivity gains and sustainable innovation.

Why SOLIDWORKS?

Design software that grows with your requirements

Whether you are a start-up, medium-sized company, or global enterprise, product development today is more than just 3D modeling. It requires speed, transparency, and seamless collaboration.

SOLIDWORKS combines powerful 3D CAD functionality with integrated simulation, CAM, data management, and cloud collaboration. Designers can create precise models, quickly evaluate variants, and implement changes in a controlled manner—without media breaks or loss of information.

The result: shorter development cycles, reduced error rates, and higher product quality.

Rethinking design

Design & development – realize ideas with precision

The focus is on proven parametric 3D modeling. SOLIDWORKS enables the development of complex components and assemblies with high accuracy and complete associativity.

Mechanics, mechatronics, and electrical engineering can be developed consistently. Model-based definition (MBD), integrated cost analysis, and manufacturability analyses support informed decisions early on.

The direct connection between the 3D model and 2D derivation results in production-ready documentation without media breaks. Changes remain traceable and controllable.

We support you in optimally configuring your design environment – tailored to your industry, product complexity, and team structure.

Simulation – securing development before costs are incurred

Simulation is not an add-on – it is an integral part of modern product development.

SOLIDWORKS Simulation enables the evaluation of structural behavior, fluid mechanics (CFD), plastic injection molding, or electromagnetic properties directly within the CAD environment.

Virtual tests replace costly prototypes and significantly shorten development cycles. Designers analyze variants at an early stage, identify risks, and make reliable decisions before physical models are created.

We help you strategically integrate simulation into your development process – from getting started to complex calculation scenarios.

Manufacturing & Production – Connecting Design and Implementation

Product development does not end with the 3D model. Integrated CAM, multi-axis machining, and nesting solutions bridge the gap to manufacturing.

SOLIDWORKS enables the direct reuse of design data in production – without conversions and without loss of information. Digital twins support the planning and optimization of manufacturing processes before machines go into operation.

This creates consistent processes between engineering and the shop floor – with reduced error rates and shorter throughput times.

At CENIT, we look at your entire value chain and work with you to develop a comprehensive CAD-CAM strategy.

Data management & PLM – creating structure, securing innovation

Product data is one of the most valuable corporate assets. SOLIDWORKS offers scalable solutions for product data management (PDM) and cloud-based PLM.

Design data, revisions, parts lists, and projects are managed centrally, versions are controlled, and changes are documented in a traceable manner.

Whether on-premise with SOLIDWORKS PDM or cloud-based via the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, data remains consistent, accessible, and secure.

We advise you on the selection and implementation of the appropriate PDM or PLM architecture – tailored to your IT strategy and growth goals.

Marketing & Technical Communication – Taking 3D Data Further

Product data does not end in engineering.

With SOLIDWORKS Visualize and other tools, you can create photorealistic renderings, interactive 3D content, VR scenarios, or technical documentation—directly based on existing design data.

Marketing, sales, and service access the same database and create content before the product physically exists.

We support you in strategically utilizing your 3D data for communication, sales, and service.

Cloud-native development – flexibility without IT complexity

With SOLIDWORKS xDesign and Cloud Services, product development becomes location-independent and scalable.

Browser-based modeling, real-time approvals, and cloud-based lifecycle management enable agile collaboration—regardless of location.

Integration into the 3DEXPERIENCE platform connects design, data management, and governance in a shared environment.

We support you in your transformation to a hybrid or fully cloud-based development environment – secure, structured, and future-proof.

Harness the potential of the cloud with SOLIDWORKS We accompany you on your way to a secure, scalable cloud strategy.

SOLIDWORKS with CENIT: Strategy instead of software

Consulting, integration, and scaling from a single source

Choosing 3D CAD software is only the first step. The decisive factor is how it is embedded in your processes, system landscape, and growth strategy.

CENIT analyzes your existing development environment, defines a future-proof CAD and PLM architecture, and supports implementation, migration, training, and integration into ERP, PLM, or MES systems.

Our goal:
SOLIDWORKS should not only work—it should measurably increase your innovation potential.

The Next Step: Managing Complexity

Artificial intelligence has a significant impact only when it is integrated into existing processes. The necessary requirements are clear data structures, connectivity with existing systems, and a wide understanding of company´s processes.

CENIT helps you apply AI effectively in engineering, production, and enterprise management. This creates the potential to transform technology into a real competitive advantage for your company.

Let's shape your digital future together.
