By improving concepts that are viewed throughout the design, development, and marketing phases, SOLIDWORKS Visualization products help users and stakeholders select, validate, improve, and sell the best and most robust design concepts before committing expensive engineering, prototyping, and marketing resources to the project. Help reduce errors and ensure that products get to market faster:

• Improve internal design, engineering, and sales reviews to help make more educated final decisions

• Drastically reduce the cost and number of physical prototypes, helping to arrive at final design decisions much more efficiently

• Deliver photorealistic imagery and content to marketing much earlier to help promote the newest products via web/print

• Added time savings allow for more design time, which results in an overall better final product

Who can benefit from SOLIDWORKS® Visualization products? SOLIDWORKS Visualization products are created for anyone who needs to create professional photo-quality images, animations, and other 3D content in the fastest and easiest way possible. SOLIDWORKS Visualize is hardware agnostic, which means designers, engineers, and content creators who use SOLIDWORKS or other CAD creation tools (such as Rhino®, Autodesk Alias®, 3dsMax®) for product, architectural, yacht, mechanical, and other designs can produce an enhanced 3D decision making experience in a fast, easy, and fun way.

SOLIDWORKS Visualize Standard

The fastest and easiest way to photo-quality images for anyone that needs to take "photos" of their 3D data.

No longer compromise the quality of design presentations and marketing collateral by relying on screen grabs or costly photographs of physical prototypes to show an upcoming product. Quickly and easily create emotional content to improve the development process and provide marketing with photo-quality assets earlier than ever imagined.

SERIOUSLY EASY TO USE! BEST SPEED-TO-QUALITY ON THE MARKET!

The fastest and easiest way to photorealistic imagery for anyone that needs to take "photos" of their 3D data.

Which better helps describe a concept? A technical drawing or a computer generated image that looks identical to a photograph? To make the right design and engineering decisions, photo-quality content has become the new benchmark.

SOLIDWORKS® Visualize Standard enables designers, engineers, and content creators across all industries to create compelling visual content of their designs with unparalleled ease and flexibility. By utilizing photo-quality content early in the design process, more informed design decisions can be made, as well as receiving useful early feedback from sales teams and potential customers.

SOLIDWORKS Visualize Standard features include:

• Photo-quality imagery at unlimited resolution
• Advanced multi-layer materials
• Accurate simulation of real-world lighting with HDR support for photorealism without cumbersome manual lighting techniques
• Integrated connection to our FREE online Community of over 1000 free assets
• Decals (interactive stickers) placement just like real life stickers
• Support for professional Texture Maps (Bump, Normal, Specular, Alpha, Color)
• Interactive Part Splitter for separating surfaces without going back to CAD modeling package
• Preset Camera Filters to enhance your images and make them pop off the screen
