xDesign {3D Creator}

Innovate, collaborate, and create great designs anywhere and anytime. xDesign combines ease of use with innovative AI-powered Design Guidance and cloud collaboration from inside a web browser.

xShape {3D Sculptor}

Create highly stylized and organic shapes with far less effort than traditional parametric surfacing tools, using cloud-based subdivision (Sub-D) modelling solution on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform and work seamlessly with SOLIDWORKS CAD.

xSheetMetal {3D SheetMetal Creator}

xSheetMetal is an intuitive, browser-based solution that provides a focused user experience tailored to the needs of sheet metal designers and engineers who need to design sheet metal components and enclosures.

xMold {3D Mold Creator}

Speed mold tooling design and reduce costs while maintaining high molded part quality by using specialized mold design tools all available in a web browser.

xFrame {3D Structure Creator}

xFrame provides users with associative feature-based frame design tools for every stage in the design process—from conceptual design to generating manufacturing information, it includes a parametric structure modeling application that runs completely in a web browser.

xDrawing {Manufacturing Definition Creator}

xDrawing allows users to define products in a more integrated, flexible, and intelligent way that combines the benefits of model based definition with the ease and familiarity of 2D drawings. The combination of 2D and 3D definition delivers next generation flexibility, empowering the designer to choose the best output for the job.

Project Planning

Organize your design work with team-based planning, monitoring and collaborative tasks with the Project Planning App combined with Collaborative Tasks.
