Solid Ideas understands the importance of data compatibility and many clients (although not all) require design work to be carried out on their chosen system.

Solid Ideas uses 3 of the major CAD systems...

I-DEAS
Solid Ideas started trading in 1997 with a seat of SDRC's I-DEAS Computer Aided Design software. Since then, 3D design and modelling has improved and developed, as has the software, and I-DEAS is still a very capable product.

Pro Engineer
Pro Engineer is a highly capable and popular system. Solid Ideas runs Wildfire 2 and Wildfire 3.

SolidWorks
Having spent nearly a year designing with SolidWorks and with the latest version having extended surfacing capabilities including surface curvature continuity, it is becoming the main work horse for Solid Ideas.
