What is Solid Edge (Siemens)?

Solid Edge is a 3D CAD and product development application from Siemens that combines parametric and direct (synchronous) modeling with tools for sheet metal, assemblies, simulation, and generative design. It also includes electrical design, technical publishing, data management and a built in CAM module, aimed at small and mid sized manufacturing companies as well as larger engineering teams.

Solid Edge is sold through a network of resellers with subscription and perpetual licensing options, along with a design and drafting-only package for lighter workflows. Pricing is quote based rather than fixed list pricing, and Siemens offers a free trial and low cost options for startups, hobbyists and students.
