Design Software Review 2019

Computer-aided design software can help you turn 2D and 3D designs into useful models and prototypes for a variety of fields. From floor plans and landscaping to kitchen remodels and 3D printing, CAD software has the tools to help you build and customize projects from the ground up. Whether you're a beginner, a professional engineer, or an architecture student, you'll want a CAD program tailored to your needs.

CAD programs range from consumer-focused packages like those in our lineup to professional applications like AutoCAD. Consumer-oriented CAD software, while offering many of the same functionalities as professional applications, does not require the same steep learning curve and expensive licensing.

Best Design Software 2019

1) SolidWorks Premium

Mechanical CAD, design validation, product data management, design communication and CAD productivity tools in a single package.

Solidwork has friendly interference. I have used it in my company for sheet metal projects. Solidworks allows easy assembly and modeling capability. SolidWorks is robust and flexible, due to its parametric functionality, when any feature of the model can be modified, and the rest is rebuilt according to previous changes. SolidWorks is an ideal preprocessor for any finite element analysis (FEA) and can be coupled with any FE code such as ABAQUS, ANSYS etc. The FEA (SolidWorks Simulation) add-on is also a good option when an express structural analysis is needed.

2) CATIA

Product design software that serves all manufacturing organizations, from OEMs, through their supply chains, to small producers.

CATIA V6 comes with a full range of design and analysis tools. While SolidWorks and ProE do almost everything you need, they don't work as well when you want to work in a large collaborative environment. Catia is more versatile than SolidWork. Catia's interface is a bit confusing and complex. Catia is preferred by many automobile industries.

3) PTC Creo Parametric

The usability of the software is very based on engineering processes and the application of features is very smooth and gives notifications whenever you do something beyond reality. The main reason I like this program is because it feels like it has a brain of its own that suggests and prevents you from doing things according to universal law. And that makes the design manufacturable.

4) AutoCAD LT

AutoCAD LT is very efficient within its capabilities. This 2D-only software allows the user to produce construction drawings without all the features (and complications) of using 3D modeling software. AutoCAD LT retains all the tools and features of regular AutoCAD that are relevant and essential for 2D drawings. Recent updates allow users to customize command-line searches and autocorrect options. AutoDesk 360 is also an option for communicating files online with your coworkers or design teams.

5) Inventor

  • Inventor is very stable and rarely crashes in a team/network environment.
  • Inventor handles large assemblies (thousands of components) well.
  • The insert assembly constraint (axis/face pair) is very useful for assemblies with holes and more stable than a similar mate combination with Solidworks.
  • Fastener placement is in some ways easier than Solidworks and less likely to flip the assembly when it doesn't work.
  • I tend to define things and think a little more before I start modeling with Inventor.
  • Works well with AutoCAD

6) Solid Edge:

Very powerful industrial machine design modeling tool. Solid Edge features incredible technology that empowers the engineer to put concepts into a virtual assembly that is easily transmitted to field drawings, automatically generates bills of materials, and is easily modified. It closes the gap between ideas and manufacturing.
