The table below provides an overview of notable computer-aided design (CAD) software. It does not judge power, ease of use, or other user-experience aspects. The table does not include software that is still in development (beta software).
SolidWorks Corporation was established in December 1993 by MIT graduate Jon Hirschtick, who used funds from his time with the MIT Blackjack Team to start the company. [9] [10] Hirschtick's aim was to develop a user-friendly, cost-effective 3D CAD software for the Windows desktop.
Following is a list of notable software, computer programs, used to develop a mathematical representation of any three dimensional surface of objects, as 3D computer graphics, also called 3D modeling.
It is free, open source under the MIT license. Showplace is a 3D computer graphics program which was released in the 1990s by Pixar with versions for Macintosh and Microsoft Windows. Silo ( Nevercenter ) is a subdivision-surface modeler available for OS X and Windows .
Parasolid is a geometric modeling kernel originally developed by Shape Data Limited, now owned and developed by Siemens Digital Industries Software.It can be licensed by other companies for use in their 3D computer graphics software products.
Solid Edge is a 3D computer-aided design (CAD), parametric feature and synchronous technology solid modeling software. It runs on Microsoft Windows and provides solid modeling, assembly modelling and 2D orthographic view functions for mechanical designers.
Creo is a family of Computer-aided design (CAD) apps supporting product design for discrete manufacturers developed by PTC.. Creo runs on Microsoft Windows and provides software for 3D CAD parametric feature solid modeling, 3D direct modeling, 2D orthographic views, Finite Element Analysis and simulation, schematic design, technical illustrations, and viewing and visualization.
SpaceClaim's 3D direct modeling technology is primarily expressed through its user interface in four tools: pull, move, fill, and combine: Pull contains most creation features found in traditional CAD systems, determining its behavior through users’ selection and though the use of secondary tool guides.
