Custom Automation for SolidWorks
API add-ins, macro development, and DriveWorks integration — from simple task automation to full product configuration platforms.
Why SolidWorks Users Need Professional Automation
Macro Fragility
VBA macros break with version upgrades, lack UI for user input, and become unmaintainable as complexity grows — creating single-point-of-failure dependencies.
Configuration Bottleneck
Product variants require manual parameter changes, feature suppression, and configuration management — tying up senior engineers on repetitive work.
Disconnected Workflows
SolidWorks models, drawings, BOMs, and PDM data managed separately — with no automated pipeline from design to manufacturing.
How We Automate SolidWorks Workflows
SolidWorks API Add-ins (.NET)
Production-grade .NET add-ins with Property Manager pages, task panes, and automated workflows — replacing brittle macros.
Product Configurators
Web-based configurators that drive SolidWorks assemblies — generating models, drawings, and BOMs from sales inputs.
DriveWorks Integration
Rule-based automation using DriveWorks Solo or Pro for variant generation, document automation, and self-service configuration.
PDM Integration & Automation
Automated file management, revision control, and data extraction from SolidWorks PDM vaults.
Typical Results for SolidWorks Automation
Reduction in configuration time
Order volume capacity
Invalid configurations
BOM accuracy
