AI rendering for Solid Edge ST parts, assemblies, and design review views.

Siemens Solid Edge release line centered on synchronous technology for flexible 3D CAD modeling
Solid Edge ST users often work where synchronous edits, imported CAD cleanup, ordered features, and assembly changes all need to stay readable to reviewers. RENDERCAD fits the visual handoff after the engineering view is set: capture a Solid Edge ST part, sheet metal model, imported component, section cut, exploded assembly, or MBD-oriented viewport and turn it into a polished render for design reviews, proposal decks, manuals, and product visuals. Use it when the shaded CAD view is accurate but too flat for non-CAD stakeholders and a full rendering scene would slow the revision loop.
Open the Solid Edge ST part or assembly, choose the view that communicates the design intent - a synchronous edit result, imported model cleanup, sheet metal bend detail, exploded assembly, section view, or cutaway - and hide construction geometry or temporary dimensions that should not appear in the final image. Capture the viewport and use RENDERCAD to add cleaner metal, plastic, rubber, glass, or painted finishes, studio lighting, shadows, and product context while keeping the render anchored to the approved view. For repeated screenshot-to-render handoffs or catalog generation, use /developers.

| Feature | RENDERCAD | KeyShot in Solid Edge |
|---|---|---|
| Engine | Generative AI | Solid Edge rendering tools with KeyShot-based materials, lighting, environments, and cutaway workflows |
| Output | Images + Video | Photo-quality stills and animations depending on setup and release |
| Resolution | HD / 4K | Controlled by render settings and local resources |
| Image Speed | ≈10 - 60 Seconds | Depends on model complexity, materials, lighting, resolution, and workstation hardware |
| Video Speed | ≈1 - 5 Minutes | Frame count, scene setup, and local rendering resources determine animation time |
| Scene Set Up | Zero | Solid Edge model or assembly with camera view, materials, lighting, environment, background, and optional cutaway setup |
| Input | Screen Snip | Native Solid Edge model or supported CAD data opened in Solid Edge |
| Hardware | Cloud GPU | Desktop Solid Edge workflow; hardware and release support vary |
| Install | None | Available through Solid Edge rendering tools; standalone rendering workflows may require separate software |
| Cost | from $20/mo | Solid Edge licensing and any rendering add-ons depend on edition, release, and region |

Get StartedCommon solutions for Solid Edge ST users
Photograph your physical prototype or sample. Use that photo as a material reference to ensure your Solid Edge ST renders match reality exactly.
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 a CAD screenshot, real photo, or hand drawing to RENDERCAD Studio. Add "Golden Hour lighting" to the prompt, and the AI adjusts the color temperature to warm sunset hues.
Upload a CAD screenshot, real photo, or hand drawing to RENDERCAD, select "Image to Video," choose a duration (4s, 6s, 8s), and the AI animates it in about 1-2 minutes.
Yes. RENDERCAD's Render Studio works on Safari or Chrome on Mac, allowing you to turn CAD screenshots, real photos, and hand drawings into pro renders easily.
Generating images or videos consumes credits. Your balance refreshes monthly based on your subscription plan.
Prompt "Diamond," "Gold," "Studio Lighting" to capture refraction.
It is used by industrial designers, marketers, and engineers who need high-quality visuals without the bottleneck of traditional rendering.
There is no "learning curve." It replaces technical sliders (Roughness, IOR, Specularity) with natural language.
Automatically. The AI analyzes the geometry and applies a professional lighting scheme that best highlights the form.
It seamlessly blends the boundaries between materials, avoiding the sharp, fake lines often seen in basic renders.
Your source files stay in your environment because RENDERCAD only needs the 2D image you upload. To generate renders, that image is transmitted to third-party AI compute providers. RENDERCAD does not use your images or outputs to train AI models or sell your content.
