CAXA 3D

Paid Windows

What CAXA 3D is

CAXA 3D is a paid Windows CAD tool for product concept design, detailed engineering design, analysis, and engineering drawings. Its hybrid modeling combines parametric engineering mode with direct surface editing, using CAXA, Parasolid, and ACIS geometry kernels. The software supports assembly, sheet-metal, and surface modeling. A 3D ball tool transforms assembly objects, while smart assembly can align parts and add constraints automatically. Large assembly mode is described for assemblies exceeding 200,000 parts, using lightweight loading to reduce memory use. CAXA 3D supports popular 3D CAD formats and batch conversion, although the product page does not name those formats; engineering drawings support DWG, DXF, and EXB. It integrates with CAXA drafting, CAM, 3D process planning, and CAE products. Libraries contain tens of thousands of standards-compliant 2D and 3D parts, plus downloadable and purchased libraries. Windows 7 and Windows 10 are listed as supported systems.
