Navigating the SOLIDWORKS and 3DEXPERIENCE ecosystem is much easier when you know which portal to use. Whether you're managing licenses, downloading software, accessing training, or finding technical support, each portal serves a specific purpose.

This directory explains the primary SOLIDWORKS and 3DEXPERIENCE customer portals, what each one is used for, who can access them, and how they help you manage your software, licenses, and support resources more efficiently.

Hollowing a resin print saves material, but trapped resin and air still need somewhere to escape. Using PreForm’s Measure and Hole tools, you can create properly sized openings while helping prevent cupping, a suction effect that can cause print defects and increase wear on the resin tank.

For this plant pot, a drainage channel designed in SOLIDWORKS works with the opening created in PreForm to relieve suction during printing and double as a functional water drain afterward.

The Hollow tool in PreForm helps reduce resin consumption by removing unnecessary solid material from your prints. Define your wall thickness, adjust how closely the interior follows the exterior geometry, and create a smoother internal shape that makes resin flow and drainage easier.

It’s a simple way to save material on prototypes, scale models, industrial parts, and other designs that don’t need to be completely solid.

PreForm takes texturing even further with support for fully custom textures. Upload an image and map it directly onto your model to recreate real-world surface finishes or add something completely unique and personal to your 3D printed parts.

From replicating a dashboard texture to adding a custom image, the possibilities go far beyond the stock texture library.

To apply different textures to specific areas of a model in PreForm, a little SOLIDWORKS setup goes a long way. Using Split Line, you can divide a continuous surface into individual faces, apply appearances to each one, and give PreForm the information it needs for face-specific texturing.

Just remember to export as a STEP or OBJ file with Export Appearances enabled before heading back into PreForm.

SOLIDWORKS PDM 2026 introduces Transfer Ownership, making it easier to move checked-out files between users or workstations without losing local changes. With Automatic Synchronization of Vault Views, you can securely transfer file ownership, minimize downtime, and keep projects moving when users switch computers or become unavailable.

This guide explains how Transfer Ownership works, the required permissions, common use cases, and how to safely transfer checked-out files while preserving your work.

Add texture without going back to CAD. With the texture tools in PreForm, you can apply and adjust surface textures directly in the slicer to create polished finishes, improve grip, add anti-slip features, or create ergonomic contact areas.

You can even apply textures to specific faces, giving you more control over both the look and function of your 3D printed parts.

From SOLIDWORKS to PreForm, this flower pot project starts with a simple spline and quickly takes shape for 3D printing. After bringing the design into PreForm, a quick scale adjustment gets the oversized model ready for the Form 4L build platform without using more resin than necessary.
