Xpedition Standard vs. SOLIDWORKS

Xpedition Standard is a type of PCB (Printed Circuit Board) design solution specifically engineered to assist individual engineers and expanding teams in the electronics design industry. Built on Siemens’ robust Xpedition technology stack, this software integrates intelligent automation and collaborative workflows, enabling users to design, reuse, and efficiently release their projects to manufacturing. The primary goal of Xpedition Standard is to enhance productivity and scalability, allowing teams to work with confidence as they navigate the complexities of PCB design.

SOLIDWORKS is the industry-standard 3D CAD solution trusted by more than 8 million engineers and designers worldwide. For over 30 years, it has helped mechanical engineers, product designers and manufacturing firms compress design cycles, control costs and deliver higher-quality products faster. SOLIDWORKS combines parametric 3D modeling, integrated simulation, product data management and direct manufacturing workflows in a single, connected environment—eliminating the need for disconnected point tools.
