Blog SOLIDWORKS 2021 What’s New – Best New Features
The new release of SOLIDWORKS 2021 is now available and the Computer Aided Technology Tech Team is excited for this release and all the new features!
Mid-September, we started documenting the best new features of SOLIDWORKS 2021 from Part, Assembly, and Drawing features to the new features in the SOLIDWORKS portfolio including: SIMULATION, SOLIDWORKS Electrical, SOLIDWORKS CAM and the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform. In addition to the new software tools, the Hardware technical team covered many new 3D Printing and 3D Scanning tools.
