3D Sculptor is a browser-based 3D subdivision modeling solution designed for industrial designers, engineers, and artists. It allows users to create organic forms more rapidly and intuitively than with traditional parametric tools. Built on Dassault Systèmes' cloud-based 3DEXPERIENCE platform, 3D Sculptor utilizes simple push-pull tools for crafting complex shapes. These models can be seamlessly imported into SOLIDWORKS for integration into parts, assemblies, and technical drawings. The software is available as a standalone purchase or as part of 3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS Professional and Premium packages. Key capabilities include push-pull modeling for shape modification, sketch guides for accurate ergonomic forms, direct interchange with SOLIDWORKS, automatic conversion of subdivision surfaces to NURBS geometry, and flexible design iteration throughout the development cycle. It also offers integrated lifecycle management for revision control and file access via the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.

Features & Benefits

• Sub-D Modelling in the Cloud: Includes the xShape app for intuitive push-pull modeling of complex surfaces and freeform organic shapes, accelerating the design of stylized and ergonomic products.
• Direct Data Interchange: Facilitates easy imports and exports, enabling seamless switching between 3D Sculptor, SOLIDWORKS, and other 3DEXPERIENCE Works solutions, with automatic updates for referenced files.
• Collaborative Tools: Features built-in revision management and communication tools, allowing for easy product shape changes, straightforward markup, and automatic downstream preparation without data translation issues.
• Connectivity to SOLIDWORKS Desktop: Enables users to access 3D Sculptor models directly within SOLIDWORKS via the task pane, combining subdivision modeling with SOLIDWORKS' capabilities for efficient design and streamlined workflows.
• Surfaces to NURBS Conversion: Automatically converts subdivision surfaces into NURBS geometry for broader compatibility and use in traditional CAD workflows.
