Lets Fix Solidworks!

Posted on September 23, 2021February 11, 2023 By Bryan Riley No Comments on Lets Fix Solidworks!

Solidworks is a powerful 3D design software, but like any other software, it has its own set of limitations and problems. Some of the most common issues with Solidworks are:

  1. Complexity: Solidworks can be complex and difficult to learn, especially for beginners. It requires a certain level of technical proficiency and 3D design experience.
  2. Slow performance: Solidworks can be slow, especially on older or lower-end computer systems.
  3. High cost: Solidworks can be expensive, particularly for individual users or small businesses.
  4. Limited capabilities for sculpting and organic shapes: Solidworks is primarily a parametric modeler, which means it is better suited for creating mechanical parts and assemblies, rather than more complex organic shapes.
  5. Compatibility issues: Solidworks is not compatible with all file formats and may require additional software to import or export certain types of files.
  6. Steep learning curve: Solidworks requires a lot of time and effort to learn, and it can take several months to become proficient in the software.

Despite these limitations, Solidworks remains one of the most widely used 3D design software programs in the market, and many users find it to be an indispensable tool for their work.


To improve the Solidworks software, the following steps could be taken:

  1. Improving User Experience: Improving the user interface and making it more intuitive and user-friendly can help make the software more accessible to new users.
  2. Increasing Performance: Improving the performance and speed of the software can help reduce frustration and increase efficiency for users. This could be achieved by optimizing the code or by making the software compatible with more powerful hardware.
  3. Expanding Capabilities: Adding new features and expanding the capabilities of the software can help it better meet the needs of users and increase its appeal to a wider range of industries and users.
  4. Enhancing Collaboration: Improving collaboration features and making it easier for users to work together on projects can increase productivity and efficiency.
  5. Improving Technical Support: Providing better technical support and resources can help users get the most out of the software and reduce the time it takes to resolve issues.
  6. Expanding Interoperability: Making the software compatible with a wider range of file formats and other software programs can help increase its versatility and usefulness.
  7. Streamlining Workflow: Improving the overall workflow and making it more efficient and streamlined can help users complete tasks more quickly and effectively.

Overall, these improvements would help to make Solidworks a more accessible and effective tool for users, and increase its appeal to a wider range of industries and users.


To better work with gaming, augmented reality (AR), and virtual reality (VR), Solidworks could consider the following steps:

  1. Improved 3D graphics: Improving the quality of 3D graphics and visualization can help Solidworks provide a more immersive experience for users in gaming, AR, and VR environments.
  2. Integration with game engines: Integrating with popular game engines, such as Unity and Unreal Engine, can allow users to more easily create games and experiences using Solidworks models.
  3. AR and VR support: Adding support for AR and VR technologies can allow users to experience their Solidworks models in a more immersive and interactive way.
  4. Real-time simulation and physics: Adding real-time simulation and physics capabilities can help users to better test and visualize the performance of their designs in gaming and VR environments.
  5. Improved collaboration: Improving collaboration and communication features can help users to work together on gaming and VR projects, allowing for more efficient and effective workflows.
  6. Expanded file compatibility: Expanding file compatibility with gaming and VR software and platforms can help users to more easily import and export models between Solidworks and other tools.

By incorporating these and other features, Solidworks could become a more integrated and powerful tool for gaming, AR, and VR industries, and help users to more easily create and experience immersive and interactive 3D environments.
