SOLIDWORKS Make

Are you looking for a new way to get your product in front of your customers? Do you recognize that the current generation of young buyers wants to customize their products to make it their own? Do you know that 3D printers and rapid machining technologies are allowing custom products to be created in an on-demand environment?

Now, SOLIDWORKS has a product for you to meet this new demand called SOLIDWORKS Make. This is a web-based interface in which you upload your 3D cad data, define the available materials, the possible personalization constraints, and validate the manufacturing capability. Customers are offered controls to adjust the designs based on your offerings generating one-of-a-kind personal designs. This is providing the purchaser with the final control of his or her product.

The strength of this product is that it creates an easy-to-use interface that is fun and simple to use anywhere. This will help generate repeat customers and potential growth using social media. There is potential for little to no inventory since products can be created on-demand using a vast market of global manufacturers.

Concerned about putting your design data on the internet? SOLIDWORKS has this covered as well. Only the manufacturer will have full access. Data used by the website is degraded without losing visual quality in the browser.

Here are a couple of videos from SOLIDWORKS showing how SOLIDWORKS Make has been implemented.
