DriveWorks
Implementation Services
We deliver end-to-end DriveWorks implementation and support: discovery, rules and configuration, SOLIDWORKS integration, DriveWorks Live where needed, training, and ongoing updates.
Projects focus on repeatable quoting, models, drawings, and BOM outputs for configurable products—so engineering teams spend less time on manual rework.

Frequently asked questions
No. DriveWorks is design-automation software for SOLIDWORKS made by a third party. DevWorks Automation implements and supports DriveWorks for manufacturers in the United States and Canada; we do not sell DriveWorks as our own product.
Discovery of your SOLIDWORKS models and rules, configuration of DriveWorks for quoting and/or design automation, integration with ERP or other systems where needed, training, and ongoing support. DriveWorks remains third-party software; DevWorks Automation implements and supports it.
DriveWorks licensing is purchased from DriveWorks or an authorized reseller. DevWorks Automation implements, customizes, and supports DriveWorks after you have (or as you obtain) a license.
Manufacturers using SOLIDWORKS who configure or engineer-to-order products and want rules-driven models, drawings, BOMs, and quotes without repeating the same CAD work on every order.
Timeline depends on the number of product families and the complexity of your automation rules, plus which systems you're integrating with. Contact DevWorks Automation for a project-specific estimate.
DriveWorks Solo runs inside SOLIDWORKS for a single user automating models, drawings, and BOMs. DriveWorks Pro adds a server-based platform with DriveWorks Live, so sales teams and customers can configure products in a browser without a SOLIDWORKS license. DevWorks Automation implements and supports both.
Yes. DriveWorks can connect to ERP, CRM, and PLM systems through SQL/ODBC connections, web services, or its API. DevWorks Automation handles this integration as part of implementation.
