SOLIDWORKS is a 3D CAD software for designing and modeling mechanical components. 💻⚙️
SOLIDWORKS is a 3D CAD (Computer-Aided Design) software used for designing, modeling, simulation, and engineering analysis of mechanical components and assemblies. It is widely used in product development, manufacturing, and engineering industries for creating precise 2D and 3D designs. 💻⚙️📐
