The 3DEXPERIENCE platform is Dassault Systèmes' tool that brings the entire engineering and manufacturing workflow from conception to obsolescence under a single umbrella. The objective of the platform is to make the 3D model the source of truth for anything someone at a company needs to know or do about the product. This means there is a closed loop for every stage of product development. Specifications, concept models, prototypes, simulation results, manufacturing data, and so on are all linked to the same product model.
3DEXPERIENCE World 2025 has come to a close and what a week we had in Houston! Let’s recap some of the key messages and announcements we heard during this year’s event. 2025 is a significant year for SOLIDWORKS as it marks 30 years since its initial release. This milestone was a common theme throughout the week – celebrating SOLIDWORKS for where it has brought us and being excited about the growth and future of the CAD tool we know and love.
A common question I hear from 3DEXPERIENCE users is, “How can I see if a part or an assembly has any associated drawings?” Turns out there are many ways to get this information. In this blog, I’ll start with some simple methods and then move on to some that take a little more setup but are worth the effort.
3DEXPERIENCE offers extra security options to further lock down your platform beyond username and password. One common method is to enable 2-factor authentication, which requires you to log in and use a mobile app to generate a unique code. This code needs to be entered along with your password to provide an extra layer of security. In this tutorial, we'll walk through the 3DEXPERIENCE 2-Factor Authenticator setup.
In 3DEXPERIENCE, a dashboard displays content and resources for any topic or activity you are a part of in your company. Every dashboard is made up of Tabs that contain Widgets/Apps that are used to perform different tasks. The Widgets/Apps listed in each of these tabs depend on what Roles you have access to.
By leveraging the 3DEXPERIENCE Smart Manufacturing 2024 tools, you can put your company’s future in the driver’s seat by having real-time communication between the shop and the engineering department, which is critical to getting parts out the door on time. Communication across a company is important, but companies must ensure everyone has access to make decisions based on the same data.
