Case Study: Zodiac Aerospace achieves one-day photorealistic cabin renders with SOLIDWORKS Visualize (SolidWorks)

Advancing Airline Interior Design With SolidWorks Visualize

Zodiac Aerospace, a global leader in aircraft equipment and interiors, faced rising demand to show highly realistic cabin and seating concepts to airlines and manufacturers on very tight timelines. To move from CATIA 3D models to photorealistic imagery that customers could immediately understand and approve, Zodiac turned to SolidWorks and its SOLIDWORKS Visualize software to meet expectations for color, texture, and depth.

Using SolidWorks’ SOLIDWORKS Visualize, Zodiac standardized a fast rendering workflow that cuts concept-to-render time from days to hours—often producing a fully rendered image the same day—while improving image quality and customer comprehension. The solution increased designer productivity, eliminated costly photo shoots by enabling brochure and web-ready renders, and delivered the speed and realism Zodiac needed to win business and accelerate design decisions.
