High Salary
“SolidWorks Automation & Customization Engineers get 4 to 5 times more salary than Design Engineers. Because they can automate almost all the works and be 100 times more productive and 100% error free and use only less software licenses”.
Good Demand
“Design is a well-known skill among Mechanical Engineers; there is intense competition for design jobs. On the other hand, SOLIDWORKS Automation & Customization is a niche expertise, with only a few engineers”.
Easier To Learn
“While SOLIDWORKS Design is generally easier to learn, SOLIDWORKS Automation & Customization can be more challenging. With our extensive experience in this field, we aim to simplify the process for you with our step by step training.”
10 Reason to Learn Solidworks API
Save time by automating common tasks like drawing generation, dimensioning, exporting files, or renaming parts — no more manual clicks!
With the API, you can open, modify, and save hundreds of SolidWorks files in bulk — perfect for large assemblies or standardized drawings
Tailor SolidWorks to fit your company’s or client’s workflow by developing custom features, interfaces, and commands inside the SolidWorks environment.
Easily build configurable and rule-driven parts/assemblies, enabling on-the-fly model generation based on parameters or user input (ideal for product configurators)
Engineers with SolidWorks API skills are in high demand in CAD automation, mechanical design, and design automation roles — it adds strong value to your resume.
You can develop full-fledged add-ins, plugins, and macro tools that integrate directly into the SolidWorks UI, improving productivity for you or your team.
Automation reduces errors that occur in repetitive manual modeling, ensuring greater consistency and accuracy in output.
Use the API to link SolidWorks with ERP, PLM, Excel, databases, or cloud platforms, creating seamless design-data integration workflows.
The API allows creation of backend engines for online/offline configurators, so customers or sales teams can generate custom product models instantly.
Using the SolidWorks API teaches you real-world object-oriented programming in C# or VB.NET while applying it to a mechanical design context.
