01
Synchronous Technology
Solid Edge leverages synchronous technology enabling your company to deliver breakthrough designs. Designers can accelerate model creation without engaging in design preplanning and perform faster ECO edits by eliminating model regeneration.
02
Better Transition & Re-use
Proven successful in helping companies reduce engineering costs through better re-use of 2D and 3D data. Imported assembly layouts can drive 3D product design where interference checking solves fit and position problems before manufacturing.
03
Complete Digital Prototyping
Build entire 3D digital prototypes and optimize designs before production. Design assemblies with machined, cast or stylized components and leverage process-specific applications for frame, piping, tube, wiring, weldment and mold tooling design.
04
Massive Assembly Optimization
Efficient display management tools, such as configurations and design zones, help you focus on relevant parts and tasks. Support for 64-bit computers lets you open and work with designs ranging from 1 to more than 100,000 parts.
05
Production-Proven 2D Drafting
The industry's best choice for creating accurate, high quality 2D drawings from 3D models. Automatically create standard, auxiliary, section, detail, broken and isometric views with dimension retrieval and automatic parts lists.
06
Simulation & Analysis
Built-in simulation capabilities powered by industry-leading FEA technology help you validate designs early in the product development process, reducing the need for costly physical prototypes.
Solid Edge Intelligence
A faster path from design intent to production-ready output.

Synchronous modeling
Solid Edge uses synchronous technology to accelerate model creation without heavy design preplanning. Designers can make faster engineering change order edits by eliminating model regeneration while increasing the re-use of imported 2D and 3D data.
Fast geometry edits
Less model regeneration
Imported CAD re-use
Faster response to ECOs
02
More design re-use
Imported 2D and 3D data can become productive design input instead of static reference material.
03
Better production confidence
Digital prototypes, drawing automation and interference checks reduce downstream manufacturing surprises.
04
Scalable assembly work
Configurations, zones and lightweight modes keep very large assemblies responsive and focused.
Mainstream engineering without compromise
Solid Edge is designed for mainstream engineering teams that need a complete and scalable digital product development system. It combines hybrid 2D/3D CAD, assembly design, automated drawing production, simulation and process-specific applications into one practical environment.
The system supports a broad range of product design needs, from machined and cast components to stylized parts, frames, pipes, tubes, wiring, weldments and mold tooling.
The secrets to better design
The old Preside product page emphasized a simple promise: better design comes from faster modeling, smarter re-use, complete digital prototypes, assembly optimization and production-ready drawings.
The updated page keeps that foundation but presents it as a modern interactive product experience with glass panels, animated tabs and concise engineering value points.
