Create polished still renders from SOLIDWORKS Visualize product scenes and CAD views.
SOLIDWORKS product visualization software for creating photo-quality images, animations, turntables, and presentation visuals from CAD data
SOLIDWORKS product visualization software for creating photo-quality images, animations, turntables, and presentation visuals from CAD data
Open the SOLIDWORKS Visualize project or source SOLIDWORKS model, choose the camera angle that best shows the product form, and simplify the view so important edges, decals, transparent parts, finishes, and scale cues are visible. Take a clean screenshot or export a review still, then upload it to RENDERCAD for a sharper product render direction with refined lighting and material emphasis. Use it for quick stakeholder options before committing to a full Visualize render queue, animation pass, 360 output, or final marketing scene. For repeatable API-based rendering workflows, start from /developers rather than copying implementation details into SEO copy.
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 | SOLIDWORKS Visualize |
|---|---|---|
| Engine | Generative AI | Desktop CAD visualization environment with physically based rendering, material, camera, lighting, animation, and presentation tools |
| Output | Images + Video | Photo-quality still images, animations, 360 spins, panoramic or interactive presentation outputs, and immersive visualization assets depending on edition and setup |
| Resolution | HD / 4K | Output size and quality are configured in Visualize render settings and constrained by scene complexity, samples, hardware, and workflow requirements |
| Image Speed | ≈10 - 60 Seconds | Render time varies with geometry, materials, lighting, denoising, output quality, hardware, and whether work is sent through a render queue or network workflow |
| Video Speed | ≈1 - 5 Minutes | Animation and turntable output is rendered frame by frame, so longer sequences usually require more setup, queue time, and hardware planning than a single still image |
| Scene Set Up | Zero | Import or link CAD data, assign appearances and decals, set environments, lights, cameras, configurations, and output settings before final rendering |
| Input | Screen Snip | SOLIDWORKS models and supported CAD or graphics formats brought into the Visualize workflow for product visualization |
| Hardware | Cloud GPU | Desktop visualization workflow for supported Windows workstations, with hardware acceleration and capabilities depending on system configuration |
| Install | None | Requires SOLIDWORKS Visualize installation, supported graphics hardware and drivers, and a valid license or entitlement |
| Cost | from $20/mo | Licensing, subscription, and entitlement terms vary by SOLIDWORKS package, reseller, region, and organization |

Get StartedCommon solutions for SOLIDWORKS Visualize 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.
