For nearly three decades, SOLIDWORKS has empowered engineers to achieve more through innovation and productivity. SOLIDWORKS AI takes this mission to the next level by embedding advanced AI capabilities directly into the tools engineers trust, enabling faster design, smarter decision-making, and automating repetitive tasks that slow progress.
Through embedded AI features and virtual companions, SOLIDWORKS AI integrates directly into established workflows, enhancing every step of the engineering process to drive efficiency and innovation without disruption. This is the future of engineering—where technology amplifies human creativity and capability, all within the trusted SOLIDWORKS ecosystem.
Aura
will focus on connecting SOLIDWORKS users with knowledge to inspire and guide the product
development process. AURA has a deep understanding of your company’s existing knowledge and
know-how.
Leo
will be your AI engineering companion, obsessed with validation, manufacturing, and system
integrity. Specializing in mechanical design and simulation, LEO will take your prompts from within
SOLIDWORKS Design to generate assembly structures, convert images to mesh, add parametric features
to STEP files, run simulation studies, evaluate assemblies, and resolve design errors.
Marie
will bring scientific research skills, with expertise in materials science, hypothesis development,
microbiology, chemistry, laboratory analysis, and more.
Accelerate Design and Improve Quality
The challenge
Engineering teams are under pressure to move faster from idea to design. Markets are moving quickly, products are becoming more complex, and engineering teams are expected to explore more design options earlier in the process.
The solution
AI accelerates the design process by helping engineers generate, evaluate, and refine multiple concepts in the time it used to take to develop just one. Rapid early iteration provides the opportunity to identify potential issues, explore alternative solutions, and optimize for performance, efficiency and quality. This leads to improved decision-making and an earlier landing on the optimal solution.
Reduce Repetitive Tasks to Focus on High-Value Work
The challenge
Engineers have limited time, yet much of their day can be spent on repetitive tasks such as finding parts, fixing models, updating drawings, and managing files. While necessary, these tasks interrupt focus, slow progress, and take time away from core engineering work.
The solution
Reducing these manual tasks allows engineers to focus on designing innovative solutions, solving complex challenges, and making smarter decisions — leading to faster projects, higher-quality designs, and greater engineering value.
Knowledge Capture and Reuse
The Challenge
Engineering knowledge already exists, but it’s often fragmented across files, systems, and people. Past designs, decisions, and lessons learned can be difficult to find, while new engineers take time to get up to speed and experienced engineers carry knowledge that isn’t always shared.
The Benefit
AI brings existing knowledge into the engineering workflow, helping teams quickly find relevant designs, understand what worked, and access guidance based on past experience. This helps new engineers ramp up faster, reduces repeated questions, and enables teams to make better, more consistent decisions without starting from scratch.
Modern engineering demands speed, precision and continuous innovation. SOLIDWORKS AI helps meet these demands by automating repetitive design tasks, accelerating workflows and allowing engineers to focus on higher-value work. Engineers remain in control, using their expertise to validate AI outputs and maintain design intent and accuracy.
Powered by SOLIDWORKS R&D knowledge, AI can also bring proven insights into new projects, while strict data privacy and security keep proprietary designs protected. These capabilities are delivered through embedded AI features and Virtual Companions that work directly within the engineering environment to provide guidance and take action on complex tasks.
