Who Should Consider Solid Edge Technical Publishing?

Solid Edge Technical Publishing is primarily designed for customers within the Siemens ecosystem, making it the ideal choice if you:

  • Use Solid Edge, NX, or Teamcenter and require seamless integration for design and document management.
  • Need a localized software interface, with the user interface available in 14 languages for global teams.
  • Require advanced collaboration features through Teamcenter Share to enhance workflow efficiency across distributed teams.
  • Prefer purchasing through Siemens directly or via the Siemens reseller network for streamlined procurement and support.

For customers outside the Siemens ecosystem, Document3D offers broader import support for SolidWorks, Creo, Inventor, STEP, and IGES, in addition to Solid Edge and JT, making it a better fit for those needing compatibility with a wider range of CAD platforms. We encourage non-Siemens users to explore Document3D solutions for a more versatile 3D documentation experience.

Coming Soon: An add-on for Solid Edge Technical Publishing users will include importers for SolidWorks and Creo, further expanding compatibility with popular CAD platforms.
