SolidWorks

Users sketch features, build 3D parts, assemble them, and generate drawings. Add-ons cover simulation, sheet metal, weldments, and product data management. Recent versions add AI-assisted features for tasks like drawing creation.

It is widespread among small and mid-size manufacturers and in engineering education. It runs on Windows, and cloud versions exist.

Autodesk Fusion, Onshape, and Siemens NX are alternatives. SolidWorks suits mechanical engineers and product designers.
