SOLIDWORKS Visualize is a photo-realistic rendering tool that utilizes your CAD data to create magazine quality images or commercial quality animations. Make your images pop with real-time ray tracing, AI Denoiser, and I-Ray technology from Nvidia powered GPU’s or AMD ProRender. Visualize can leverage CUDA core technology from Nvidia or render cores from AMD ProRender to render your images in no time! Need more power? No problem, add additional GPU’s to your existing hardware or set up a cluster for everyone to share.
Visualize has two different packages: Standard and Professional. The great news is that if you purchase SOLIDWORKS CAD Professional or Premium and you are on maintenance, then you have Visualize Standard already! Get your renders started by following the introductory training videos in the GoEngineer Knowledge Base.
Visualize Professional adds an array of features including animations, custom lighting, VR, 360 Interactive, and much more. SOLIDWORKS Visualize Professional provides the highest level of detail and optimized render times.
“ The problem was very specific and difficult to visualize. To his credit, the support engineer created a meeting fairly quickly, with only the need for 7 minutes of background on the problem. ”

Nvidia GPU’s that support CUDA Core technology & AMD GPU’s. This includes workstation and non-workstation (gaming) graphics cards. While gaming cards are not tested by SOLIDWORKS and not officially supported, they offer the best cost to performance ratio. We would recommend using workstation GPU’s with SOLIDWORKS CAD and Visualize parallel installs.
Boost allows you to upload a project through the render queue to a secondary computer allowing you to continue your daily activities on your personal computer while the boost machine does all the work.
Power Boost allows a Visualize content creator to steal the GPU power from another machine(s) on the network. This is a great feature from an IT standpoint; instead of upgrading 10 GPU’s for 10 different content creators, install ~4 GPU’s on a network machine (render box) for multiple users to share.
