Create polished renders from Solid Edge pipe, tube, and hose routing views.
Siemens Solid Edge add-on for routed pipe, tube, and hose systems in mechanical assemblies
Siemens Solid Edge add-on for routed pipe, tube, and hose systems in mechanical assemblies
Solid Edge XpresRoute is used to lay out mechanical routed systems inside Solid Edge assemblies, including pipe runs, bent tubes, flexible hoses, fittings, bend radii, end treatments, and surrounding machine geometry. RENDERCAD helps when that routed assembly needs to be understood by people who do not live in CAD: capture a viewport of the route, fittings, supports, or equipment context and turn it into a cleaner render for design reviews, supplier discussions, bid images, installation guidance, and sales visuals without exporting the native model.
Open the routed system in Solid Edge XpresRoute, choose a view that shows the path, fittings, clamps, bends, end treatments, and adjacent equipment, then capture the viewport. Upload the image to RENDERCAD to create a presentation render with clearer material separation, lighting, shadows, and depth cues while keeping the routing intent readable. Use /developers for API-based rendering workflows or repeated image generation.

You don't have to duplicate your model configurations. You just keep the same image in History and change the text prompt to generate new colors.
It understands material properties semantically, ensuring reflections look physically correct without manual tweaking.
It leverages the latest in Generative AI, meaning the platform gets smarter and better every month, unlike static software versions.
Outsourcing a product animation costs thousands. RENDERCAD generates a professional orbit video for the cost of a few credits.
Yes. You can add up to three reference items per image, each with its own reference image, text prompt, and optional mask for targeted control.
Use multiple reference items with overlapping masked regions. The AI intelligently blends where masks meet, creating smooth transitions between different materials or effects.
Yes. Save successful reference images in organized folders. Over time, you build a personal material and style library for consistent rendering.
These materials need Subsurface Scattering (SSS). Prompt for "Waxy surface" or "Bar of soap" in RENDERCAD to get that soft, translucent look.
Add phrases like "Light from left," "Backlit," or "Top down lighting" to your custom prompt in RENDERCAD.
RENDERCAD generates videos in approximately 1 to 2 minutes using cloud processing.
Because RENDERCAD is an overlay or web app, it runs independently. You can keep modeling in Solid Edge XpresRoute while we process images in the background.
Open the tool, drag a box around your model on screen, and the image loads instantly for prompting. You never have to close Solid Edge XpresRoute.
