In Solid Edge, open the part, sheet metal design, or assembly you want to present, then set the saved view, exploded state, section, cutaway, perspective, and visible appearances that communicate the design intent. Capture a clean viewport screenshot and use RENDERCAD to refine it into a presentation render for design reviews, proposal decks, catalog concepts, or stakeholder approvals. Teams automating repeat screenshot-to-render flows can start from /developers.
Modeled by CADSharp in Onshape. Rendered with RENDERCAD.

Tired of keeping up with the latest gen AI models? RENDERCAD is powered by a proprietary ensemble of the most cutting-edge AI engines, always up to date and fine-tuned to strictly maintain your design intent.
| Feature | RENDERCAD | KeyShot for Solid Edge |
|---|---|---|
| Engine | Generative AI | KeyShot CPU rendering with GPU mode on supported hardware |
| Output | Images + Video | Still images; animation and interactive outputs depend on the KeyShot edition and workflow |
| Resolution | HD / 4K | Custom output dimensions, limited by scene complexity, hardware, and settings |
| Image Speed | ≈10 - 60 Seconds | Depends on model detail, materials, lighting, resolution, quality settings, and CPU or GPU hardware |
| Video Speed | ≈1 - 5 Minutes | Frame-by-frame animation rendering scales with frame count, scene complexity, settings, and hardware |
| Scene Set Up | Zero | Send the Solid Edge model to KeyShot, preserve useful CAD structure where supported, then tune materials, lighting, environment, cameras, and output settings |
| Input | Screen Snip | Solid Edge parts and assemblies through the bundled KeyShot workflow, LiveLink-style updates, or BIP export where supported |
| Hardware | Cloud GPU | Desktop workflow tied to Solid Edge on supported Windows workstations |
| Install | None | Bundled KeyShot option or plugin-based handoff installed alongside Solid Edge |
| Cost | from $20/mo | Bundled option or subscription licensing, depending on Solid Edge and KeyShot configuration |
Read the numbers. We trust you to know theirs.
Skip the setup tax. Pick the condition, material, and background with just a click while RENDERCAD handles the heavy lifting. No lighting rigs, no environment setup, no 45-minute wait; get photorealistic results in seconds.

Get StartedCommon solutions for Solid Edge users
Instead of complex UV mapping, upload your image or use the RENDERCAD overlay tool to snip your screen. Type "Carbon Fiber" in the prompt, select "Exact" style, and in about 10-60 seconds, the AI will retexture your image realistically.
Snap a picture using the RENDERCAD overlay. Select the "Realistic" engine, set Condition to "Clean," and prompt "Brushed Aluminum." The AI applies the texture orientation correctly to your geometry.
Don't struggle with refraction settings. Upload your image or snip your view with RENDERCAD, set Style to "Creative," and prompt "Clear Glass." The engine handles transparency and light bending automatically.
Upload a CAD screenshot, real photo, or hand drawing to RENDERCAD Studio. Add "Cold beverage with condensation" to your custom prompt. The "Realistic" engine will generate realistic droplets on the surface.
Use the RENDERCAD overlay. Prompt for "Injection Molded Plastic" and in Advanced Settings, set Condition to "Clean" for a smooth, factory-fresh look.
You don't need texture maps. Upload your image or snip your screen with RENDERCAD, then set Advanced Settings > Condition to "Dirty" or "Heavily Used" to instantly apply rust and age.
Capture your model and prompt "Oak Wood" in RENDERCAD. The Image-to-Image engine generates a unique, non-repeating grain pattern that fits your object's form.
Upload your image or snip your screen. In RENDERCAD, prompt "Polished Gold" and set Background to "Grey" or "Gradient." The AI generates the necessary reflections to simulate a metallic surface.
No need for bump maps. Use the RENDERCAD overlay to capture the view, then prompt "Black Leather." The AI interprets the depth and stitching automatically.
Capture your screen and use the custom prompt "Glowing Neon Blue Lights." The AI paints the bloom and light spill directly onto your image.
While RENDERCAD generates full rectangular images, you can set the Background to "White" or "Grey" in Advanced Settings for easy masking in post-production.
Upload your image or snip the model, then prompt for "Denim," "Cotton," or "Velvet." RENDERCAD applies the weave texture naturally over the surface.
