Comparison

xDesign or 3DEXPERIENCE: what's different

Both are full-fledged 3D CAD programs based on SOLIDWORKS. Our recommendation: xDesign if you're on a Mac or just starting out, and 3DEXPERIENCE once you begin manufacturing your parts (CNC, 3D printing).

Customer Reviews

They explain it better than we do

Mohammad Aghababa a year ago

I had a great technical support session with Alan and Léo from Ohmycad. They explained clearly how to save files on 3DEXPERIENCE and manage revisions with the maturity cycle. The session was very helpful, professional, and easy to follow. Looking forward to the next one on automating the drawing title block. Highly recommend their support team!
