How AI is Shaping the Future of CAD Software

In 2025, Computer Aided Design (CAD) software will be used globally from projects big to small. SOLIDWORKS, one of the most popular CAD software’s, has amassed over 8 million users internationally and over 850,000 certified users in its 30 years of existence. This growth even includes notable figures and entrepreneurs, such as the CEO of RING and the founder of Boston Dynamics. This software’s popularity has even grown past the industrial designers and mechanical engineers, as it is now used by educational professionals, children, and DIY hobbyists. But, as with all things that have existed for a long period of time, change is bound to happen.

Fortunately, the next innovation of SOLIDWORKS is around the corner thanks to artificial intelligence (AI). Alongside the traditional SOLIDWORKS tools, the companion Aura AI works alongside users as both a generative AI and large language model. This means it is answering a plethora of user queries and is capable of adapting its responses based on user behavior. Based on user workflow, it can even provide smart predictions to help the user in the modeling process. Whether you’re a seasoned veteran of SOLIDWORKS or learning the software for the first time, one thing is for certain: taking advantage of Aura AI makes designing your project even easier than ever.
