In SolidWorks, orient the part, assembly, exploded view, section cut, or configuration so the silhouette, feature edges, decals, labels, transparent components, and scale cues are visible. Capture a clean viewport screenshot and upload it to RENDERCAD. Use the browser render to test finish, lighting, environment, and camera mood before committing time to a SOLIDWORKS Visualize scene, render queue, animation, or external export. When the model changes, update the CAD view and rerun the screenshot workflow; for repeatable API rendering, use /developers.

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 | SOLIDWORKS Visualize |
|---|---|---|
| Engine | Generative AI | Desktop CAD visualization workflow with physically based ray tracing and GPU or CPU hardware acceleration |
| Output | Images + Video | Photo-quality images, animations, turntables, interactive views, and immersive presentation outputs depending on license and setup |
| Resolution | HD / 4K | Configured in output settings and constrained by scene complexity, samples, hardware, and quality targets |
| Image Speed | ≈10 - 60 Seconds | Varies with geometry, materials, lighting, samples, denoising, output size, and local or network hardware |
| Video Speed | ≈1 - 5 Minutes | Animations and turntables render as frame sequences, so delivery depends on duration, resolution, settings, and available hardware |
| Scene Set Up | Zero | Import or link CAD data, assign appearances, decals, environments, lights, cameras, configurations, and output settings |
| Input | Screen Snip | SolidWorks models and supported CAD or graphics formats |
| Hardware | Cloud GPU | Desktop workstation workflow with hardware acceleration and optional network rendering setups |
| Install | None | Requires SOLIDWORKS Visualize installation and a valid SOLIDWORKS entitlement or license |
| Cost | from $20/mo | Licensing and entitlement vary by SOLIDWORKS package, reseller, region, and organization |

Get StartedCommon solutions for SolidWorks 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.
