SolidWorks has released an update to eDrawings for iOS that allows design teams to view their products in the real world before a physical product exists.
By pointing their iPad or iPhone camera at a special marker, designers can view a full-scale representation of their project as it would appear in its final, physical state. This allows designers to accelerate their projects by avoiding disparities in transitioning from the virtual to physical world - like improperly sized parts.
Augmented Reality (AR) is available in both the Standard and Professional versions of eDrawings for iPad and iPhone.
