The best SOLIDWORKS solution for your business

You’ll be amazed how much more productive you are when you work with a fully integrated suite of tools. From 3D CAD, to virtual testing, to technical documentation and rendering, SOLIDWORKS does it all.

How SOLIDWORKS compares to your current software

We’re confident that you’ll be impressed with the productivity gains SOLIDWORKS brings to the table, but seeing is believing. Our experts will talk to you about your current design processes before putting together a customised demonstration online or in person, based on your own CAD data so you can see for yourself.

CAD data migration and translation

Every implementation is different, but there aren’t too many things our technical experts haven’t seen over the years.

We understand that this process can be a little daunting, but with our help it’s a lot easier than you think. Whether it’s a staged, project-based approach, or a complete overhaul in one go, we’ll talk to you to work out the best way forward for your situation and we’ll be with you every step of the way.

Pricing for SOLIDWORKS perpetual/rental licenses

Flexible financing options

We realise that investment in software can be challenging, that’s why we offer attractive financing options where you could (subject to acceptance) purchase SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD Standard for as little as £40 per week.

We have access to a number of government funding schemes that can see huge reductions of not only the software cost, but also related hardware and more. Many of our customers have already taken advantage of funding and you too could be eligible.
