Overview

Teams model parts, surfaces, sheet metal and frames, assemble them with mates and standard hardware, and produce dimensioned drawings. Built-in PDM records every edit, supports branching and merging, and manages bills of materials and release workflows without check-in or check-out. Simulation, rendering, CAM and PCB Studio are included in Professional and Enterprise plans; private documents and commercial use require a paid plan, while Free plan documents are public.
