This is a robust CAD tool with many built-in advantages with their standard license such as: FEA, data management, reverse engineering, generative design and advanced rendering with KeyShot > > **Cons**: Eventually, I would love this program to be in the cloud. I think that's where it's all going in the future. ----- ### "My Experience with solid edge." — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *10 March 2025* | Renewables & Environment | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: The User interface is too good. You can find the options easy manner. The best thing in solid edge is it's Synchronous Mode Means it combines the parametric and direct modelling. > > **Cons**: When Compared to other modelling software's it has fewer add-ons and plug ins > > My overall experience with Solid Edge has been positive, especially in terms of its powerful modeling unique synchronous technology, which allows for quick design modifications. ----- ### "very inclosed software" — 2.0/5 > **Mohammad** | *17 July 2020* | Design | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: i usually use solidworks for 3d design .. but when i needed to learn cnc the instractor advised to use solid edge .. > > **Cons**: actually i didn't like it in the 3d design... when i tried it i felt like iam on 1990 or something .. i didn't like it at all > > not good ----- ### "3D Modeling Application" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *15 August 2021* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: it is very good in 3D modeling for machine design and part drawing. Also it can be used for simulation and stress analysis which is very good feature that add to the value of the application. > > **Cons**: 2D drawing is not good. I think it is specialized in modeling so it is not concerning the civil drawing and 2d drawings. > > it can be used as a full solution for modeling and machine design containing modeling, simulation and animation. ----- ### "Useful 3D designing software for basic designing" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *14 April 2019* | Information Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: 1. Easy to learn 2. Designer with basic designing knowledge can grasp the features of software quickly 3. Assembly of CAD models is easier and convenient as compared to other softwares 4. Very fast software which helps in quicker designing of models. > > **Cons**: 1.3D to 2D converter is moderate with few features missing in comparison with other softwares of this caliber. 2.Supported file formats are also no great in comparison with other softwares 3. User interface with menus are a little too cramped up and completely user friendly > > As a freelancer I have used Solid edge for sheet metal designing and the features are very impressive and helpful. It allowed me to design any given model in no time. Recommended for designs with less designing and simple sheet metal designs. ----- Page: 1 / 4\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.za.com/software/178691/solid-edge?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.za.com/software/178691/solid-edge) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
