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
Siemens Solid Edge release line centered on synchronous technology for flexible 3D CAD modeling
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.
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 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
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.
