SOLIDWORKS is a 3D CAD system for parametric modeling of parts, assemblies and 2D drawings in mechanical engineering — a product of Dassault Systèmes. 4CAD is a Czech supplier of tools, add-ins, training and services for companies that work in SOLIDWORKS.
SOLIDWORKS is professional 3D CAD software from Dassault Systèmes for the parametric design of parts, assemblies and drawings in mechanical engineering. Design engineers use it to model components, build assemblies with mates and interference checks, and automatically generate 2D manufacturing drawings. The model is parametric and linked to the drawing, so every change is carried through to the documentation.
Design of machines, equipment and special-purpose machinery.
Parts, assemblies and drawings for clients.
Frame structures, weldments and sheet metal parts.
Teams with repeat production — well suited for design automation.
For modeling parts, assemblies and drawings, all editions work the same way; they differ in the range of tools for productivity, simulation and specialized tasks. Standard covers everyday design work, Professional adds tools for day-to-day productivity, and Premium adds advanced simulation, routing and working with scan data. New licenses of all editions include cloud services on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.

Indicative feature overview; the exact, up-to-date matrix is given in the official product overview on solidworks.com. A typical design engineer chooses Standard/Professional; workstations with simulation and quality inspection choose Premium.
SOLIDWORKS covers the entire design chain, from the 3D model to the manufacturing drawing. The parametric model carries the design intent, so changes can be made quickly and consistently. Drawings, bills of materials and variant configurations are linked to the model, which cuts errors and manual work.
Cloud services on the Dassault Systèmes 3DEXPERIENCE platform are now included with new SOLIDWORKS licenses (Standard, Professional and Premium). On top of desktop modeling, they add cloud data management and collaboration — sharing, versioning and revision control of design data without having to run your own PDM server.
4CAD covers the workflow from design through simulation to inspection of the manufactured part — the goal is faster, more reliable design work in Czech, backed by local support.
Basic, advanced and tailored courses (sheet metal, profiles, surfaces, large assemblies), online or on-site, with support after the course.
DriveWorks (rule-based variants of parts, assemblies and drawings + 3D CPQ configurator) and CustomTools (export, DWG/DXF, BOMs, metadata).
QuickSurface for turning scan data into CAD models.
Hardware and software under one roof — from the physical part to CAD.
Visual quality inspection and follow-up simulation as additional services.
Czech and Slovak technical support and tailored solutions.
For recurring and custom-built products, 4CAD deploys design automation with DriveWorks and data management with CustomTools. Variants of models, drawings and bills of materials are generated automatically from rules and parameters, so design engineers don't have to build each variant by hand. Both add-ins require SOLIDWORKS as the host environment.
| CustomTools | DriveWorks | |
|---|---|---|
| K čemu slouží | Správa dat, export, metadata, kusovníky | Generování variant dílů, sestav, výkresů a nabídek z pravidel |
| Kdy nasadit | Potřeba konzistentních dat, exportů a kusovníků | Mnoho variant a zakázková konfigurace |
| Typický uživatel | Konstruktér, správce dat | Firmy s konfigurovatelnými produkty |
We teach SOLIDWORKS from modeling basics to advanced assemblies, drawings and automation. Courses are led by an experienced specialist and can be adapted to your company's projects.
3D scanning turns a physical part into a point cloud, from which a model is created for editing in SOLIDWORKS. The same CAD model then serves as the reference standard for quality inspection.
64-bit Windows 11 or Windows 10 (Professional/Enterprise recommended).
x86_64, 3.0+ GHz — single-thread performance is what matters most for CAD.
16 GB RAM or more (32 GB for everyday work; 64 GB or more for simulation and rendering).
Certified professional graphics card with at least 4 GB (NVIDIA RTX/Quadro or AMD Radeon Pro) and a certified driver.
SSD, approx. 512 GB recommended.
Current .NET Framework as required by the installer, plus the latest Windows/Office updates.
These values are recommendations from 4CAD — the binding matrix of supported hardware is published on the official System Requirements page at solidworks.com.

4CAD supplies and supports a range of add-ins and extensions for SOLIDWORKS. Selected add-ins also run on other CAD systems, so they work in mixed environments too. You will find the full overview on the CAD add-ins page.
Design automation and data management.
Reverse engineering of scan data.
Search and catalogs of 3D parts.
AI CAD assistant (4CAD is an authorized MecAgent partner).
Professional 3D CAD software from Dassault Systèmes for the parametric design of parts, assemblies and drawings in mechanical engineering. It is used for design, simulation and creating manufacturing documentation.
The price depends on the edition, the licensing model (subscription or perpetual license with Subscription Service), the number of users and the scope of services. 4CAD will prepare a tailored quote. Email info@4-cad.cz or call +420 735 084 982.
For modeling parts, assemblies and drawings, all editions are equivalent. Professional adds rendering (Visualize Standard), Toolbox, Costing and other productivity tools. Premium additionally offers broader simulation, Routing, tolerance analysis and scan data processing.
A term subscription has a lower upfront cost and includes new versions and support. An existing perpetual license is maintained through Subscription Service, which gives access to upgrades and support. We will recommend the right model based on your cash flow.
3DEXPERIENCE is the Dassault Systèmes cloud platform; cloud services (data management, versioning and collaboration) are included with new licenses across all editions. The difference lies in the license type: Device License vs. Single User managed in 3DEXPERIENCE.
4CAD solution s.r.o. (company ID 14087880, Prague) is a Czech supplier of tools, add-ins, training and services for companies that work in SOLIDWORKS. SOLIDWORKS is a separate product of Dassault Systèmes.
Yes. 4CAD is based in Prague and provides technical support, training and consulting in Czech and Slovak. Contact: info@4-cad.cz, phone +420 735 084 982.
Yes. Both add-ins run inside SOLIDWORKS and require it as the host environment. They automate data management (CustomTools) and the rule-based generation of part, assembly and drawing variants and quotes (DriveWorks).
With DriveWorks and CustomTools, variants of models, drawings and bills of materials are generated automatically from rules and parameters, so design engineers don't have to build each variant by hand. Errors go down and the time from enquiry to documentation gets shorter.
