SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD for Australian & New Zealand engineering teams
Design faster, reduce rework, and get local expert support across implementation, training, data management and ongoing technical help.
What our customers are saying
Central Innovation has helped us gain a commanding share of our market, and SOLIDWORKS software is one of the tools that helps us to innovate freely.
Kai Birger Olsen
Engineering Director, Ramboll Offshore Wind
Central Innovation provided the support we needed to keep the system (SOLIDWORKS) always up and running and continue to provide ideas around improvements and helping us get our workflow as close to perfect as possible.
Eiman Nosrati
Engineering Manager, Tieman Tankers
Central Innovation did multiple test migrations of all CAD data to ensure any issues were identified and rectified. Any remaining issues were generally due to legacy or corrupt CAD data, which we were made aware of.
Jonathan Roberts
Engineering Manager, Goldacres
Central Innovation & SOLIDWORKS streamlined the design process, made it more professional and facilitated the transfer of information between design and engineering – all of which has really improved our workflows.

What's New in SOLIDWORKS Design
Which SOLIDWORKS Design Plan is for you?
Choose the SOLIDWORKS package that fits the way your team works. Whether you need core 3D CAD, stronger design control, or advanced routing and analysis tools, each edition is built to match a different level of design complexity and engineering requirement.
SOLIDWORKS Design Standard
Best for small to mid-sized design teams that need core 3D CAD and cloud-connected collaboration without advanced analysis or routing.
Choose this if you mainly design parts, assemblies and drawings, need secure file and revision management, and want a straightforward way to get productive quickly.
Key Capabilities
- Core CAD
- Cloud-connected collaboration
- Revision management
- Manufacturing documentation
- NC programming
- Local technical support with any purchase from Central Innovation
- Move up to SOLIDWORKS Professional if you need rendering, cost estimation, standards checking, or tolerance analysis.
SOLIDWORKS Design Professional
Best for teams that need stronger design validation, presentation and design governance tools.
Choose this if you need to communicate designs more clearly, estimate cost earlier, enforce CAD standards, or work faster with component libraries.
Key Capabilities
- Everything included in SOLIDWORKS Standard, plus;
- Component Libraries
- Photorealistic rendering
- Tolerance stack-up analysis
- Cost estimation
- CAD standards checking
- Local technical support with any purchase from Central Innovation
- Move up to SOLIDWORKS Premium if you need routing or built-in engineering analysis for more complex products.
SOLIDWORKS Design Premium
Best for engineering teams designing more complex products with routing and validation requirements.
Choose this if your products involve cables, wiring, piping, tubing, or you need motion and linear static analysis inside the design workflow.
Key Capabilities
- Everything included in SOLIDWORKS Professional, plus;
- Electrical cable and wiring harness routing
- Pipe and tube routing
- Linear static analysis
- Motion analysis
- Local technical support with any purchase from Central Innovation
- Ideal for more complex mechanical systems, equipment, and products where design validation and routed systems matter.
From concept to production
With SOLIDWORKS Design, you can create high-quality designs, freely iterate and enhance them. Optimize your product development process and get more done in less time. And with the unmatched online and onsite support of Central Innovation, you can be confident that you will always get the help you need, when you need it.
SOLIDWORKS Design with Cloud Services
High quality and efficient product development from start to finish.
SOLIDWORKS Design with Cloud Services brings together all aspects of your business into one platform giving you complete visibility and improving collaboration throughout the product development process.
Enjoy the hundreds of features that help you and your teams work smarter, faster, and better together.
SOLIDWORKS Simulation solutions
Test your designs to real world conditions, improve product quality, and reduce prototyping and physical testing costs.
The SOLIDWORKS Simulation portfolio uses the Finite Element Analysis (FEA) method to predict a product’s real world physical behaviour by virtually testing CAD models.
SOLIDWORKS PDM (Product Data Management)
Manage all the information about the files and references, users and group permissions, electronic workflow processes and more from a single data management system – SOLIDWORKS PDM.
Real time updates on design changes. Save time in searching design documents. Get better control on users and permissions for data access.
SOLIDWORKS training
Get the most out of your software investment.
Upskill your team and improve the ROI on your SOLIDWORKS investment. Training that works for you – virtual, on-demand or private courses tailored to your organisation.
