DriveWorks is a scalable software suite used by manufacturers to automate SOLIDWORKS design tasks and build custom CPQ (Configure, Price, Quote) solutions. It is specifically designed for businesses that sell “same but different” products, allowing them to generate 3D models, manufacturing drawings, and sales documents automatically through rules-based logic.
This will break down how manufacturers can automate repetitive tasks, reduce errors, and scale their business using DriveWorks Technology.

- Sales Configuration (CPQ): Enables sales teams and customers to configure products on any device with instant pricing updates and 3D previews.
- Rules Engine: Uses an intelligent logic engine (no programming required) to ensure that every configuration is feasible and compliant with engineering standards.

Key Business Benefits
- Reduced Rework: Eliminates manual data entry errors between sales and engineering.
