SOLIDWORKS Design

Everything you need to design, manufacture and engineer innovative products & equipment in one place.

About SOLIDWORKS

Intercad (A Division of Central Innovation) provides engineers, designers, and manufacturers with the design, simulation/verification, manufacturing, file management, data workflow, and collaboration tools they need to develop and manufacture innovative products and equipment – in one package.

All our SOLIDWORKS and data workflow solutions provide single-window, fully-associative integration across the range of SOLIDWORKS Design 3D CAD software. As a result, all your systems will work together using the same design data. Each design change, therefore, updates automatically across all applications.
