Create polished renders from Solid Edge Classic CAD views without renderer setup.

Siemens Solid Edge tier for advanced mechanical CAD, assemblies, sheet metal, and visualization
Solid Edge Classic is used for production mechanical CAD work where the same assembly can include machined parts, sheet metal, frames, hardware, surfaces, fixtures, and imported geometry. RENDERCAD helps when that engineering model needs a polished product, proposal, or documentation image before anyone spends time tuning a full desktop rendering scene. Capture a clean viewport of the part, assembly, exploded view, or design review angle, then turn it into a photorealistic render for customer communication, manuals, sales decks, and internal reviews while the Solid Edge file stays in the CAD workflow.
In Solid Edge Classic, set the model to the view you want to explain - full assembly, sheet metal enclosure, machined component, jig, fixture, or frame. Hide construction geometry and nonessential PMI if the render is for a nontechnical audience, keep edges or annotations visible when they help explain function, then screenshot the viewport. RENDERCAD can use that image to create a cleaner render with metal, plastic, rubber, glass, paint, and studio lighting cues for design reviews, quote packages, manuals, and marketing handoffs.

Get StartedCommon solutions for Solid Edge Classic users
Creating orbit animations in traditional software requires keyframes and hours of rendering. RENDERCAD does it from a single image in under 2 minutes.
The AI automatically centers the composition and balances the lighting to create dramatic, portfolio-worthy images.
Upload the competitor's product image as a style reference. The AI will match the lighting, composition, and overall aesthetic while keeping your Solid Edge Classic design intact.
Use the masking tool to select each component. Assign a different material reference image or prompt to each masked region - like metal for the body and rubber for the grip.
Yes. Mask your product, protect it, then apply different environment references to the background only - perfect for placing products in various scenes.
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.
Use the RENDERCAD overlay to capture your product. Prompt "Sunny Forest" or "Urban Street," and the AI generates a matching environment in roughly 10-60 seconds.
Upload your image or snip your car model. In the video prompt, add "Car driving on road, motion blur wheels" and use the "Slow zoom out" camera for a cinematic effect.
Use RENDERCAD's web studio. Since it's browser-based, 100% of the processing happens on our servers, leaving your CPU free.
The Render Studio has a toggle for Light/Dark Mode in the top settings to match your Solid Edge Classic interface.
Upload your image or snip the car. Prompt "Automotive paint," "Asphalt background," "Motion blur wheels."
Use "White" background; the AI adds shadows onto the white floor.
