Automate Sales Drawings and BOMs with SolidWorks Integration
Drive SolidWorks remotely to generate sales drawings, manufacturing outputs, and precise BOMs. Bridge the gap between engineering and sales.
Why Relying on Engineering for Quotes Scales Poorly
Your engineers are your most expensive sales resource.
Every time a sales rep asks an engineer for a "quick drawing", you lose high-value R&D time.
- Slow Response Time: Customers wait days for a drawing competitor provides instantly.
- Drafting Drudgery: Engineers hate repetitive modification work.
- Tribal Knowledge: Product rules live in engineers' heads, not in systems.
- Costly Iterations: Re-drawing 5 times to close a deal kills margin.

Measurable Business Outcomes
Key benefits of SolidWorks integration
CAD-powered product configuration
Use parameters and models from SolidWorks to control product logic and automate configuration directly from engineering data.
Automate BOM and production data
Link sales configurations with production-ready outputs like BOMs and routings, all based on your SolidWorks logic.
Accelerate quote-to-production
Deliver precise, manufacturable quotes faster by connecting your SolidWorks design rules with Mercura’s CPQ engine.
Seamless Data Flow Architecture
Mercura captures user inputs and feeds them into SolidWorks (via DriveWorks, Tacton, or custom APIs) to generate outputs, which are then returned to the quote.

Enterprise Risk Reduction
Does this require DriveWorks?
No, but we integrate well with DriveWorks, Tacton, or native SolidWorks API.
Is this cloud-based?
We support both local agents and cloud-based SolidWorks workers.
How detailed are the models?
As detailed as you need. We suggest simplified models for web, detailed for export.
Who owns the IP?
You do. Your SolidWorks models never leave your secure environment.
Connected Ecosystem
Mercura bridges SolidWorks to the enterprise.
