SolidProfessor Site License

SolidProfessor has over 15K online lessons covering CAD, CAM, Simulation and Engineering theory with topics such as GD&T and Finite Element Analysis. SolidProfessor puts an expansive library of learning resources at your engineering teams’ fingertips.

Unique to the TriMech Elite SOLIDWORKS Subscription Service is access to a SolidProfessor “site license” which includes logins for up to 3x the number of Elite SOLIDWORKS Subscription users you have. This is a great option for teams in a multi-CAD environment, or an engineering team larger than your SOLIDWORKS user base, all of whom would benefit from access to on-demand training.

SOLIDWORKS VISUALIZE Standard Rendering Software

For every SOLIDWORKS Professional and Premium license on active subscription, SOLIDWORKS Visualize Standard is included. SOLIDWORKS Visualize is the fastest and easiest way to create photo-quality images for anyone who needs to take “photos” of their 3D data. This standalone Visualize seat can be given to anyone in your company and does not require SOLIDWORKS CAD to be installed on the same machine. This means that 3D modeling and 3D visualization can happen in parallel.

• Create lifelike photo-quality images
• A mood board of different colors and finishes
• High-resolution images ready for print and the web
• Technical illustrations of key features
• Physically-Based Raytracing and Hybrid Render Mode
• CAD and Graphic File Support
• Surface/Part Splitter and Interactive Depth of Field

SOLIDWORKS CAM Standard Software

For every SOLIDWORKS Standard, Professional and Premium license on active subscription, SOLIDWORKS CAM Standard is included. SOLIDWORKS CAM Standard is the fastest and easiest way to create 2.5 axis toolpaths on part files. (Milling, Waterjet, Plasma, Laser and Router) SOLIDWORKS CAM Standard leverages a rules database to streamline your programming process and capture your Model-Based Definition (MBD) tolerances to standardize your workflows.

• Tolerance Based Machining: Model Based Definition (MBD) is leveraged to ensure machining strategies are automatically adjusted based on tolerance specifications.
• 2.5 Axis Milling: Machine prismatic features with 2.5 axis milling capabilities. SOLIDWORKS CAM includes Automatic Roughing, Rough Milling, Finish (Contour) Milling, Face Milling, Thread Milling, Center Drilling, Drilling, Countersinking, Reaming, Tapping, and Engraving.
