Parasolid is used by a wide range of companies that need to create and manipulate mathematical models of real objects. In all cases, Parasolid adds value through easy integration, the best available functionality and interoperability with other Parasolid-based products.

• Computer Aided Design. CAD systems create mathematical models based on user input. Individual models can then be combined as components of an assembly to create a whole product such as an aircraft or fax machine. Parasolid adds value by being able to model real life objects more accurately and more reliably that any other kernel.
• Computer Aided Engineering. CAE systems analyze designs created by CAD systems. This means analysis of characteristics such as: stress, thermodynamics, vibration, mechanisms, acoustics, aerodynamics and electromagnetism. A design is optimized by analyzing, making design changes and re-analyzing. Parasolid adds value by permitting the import of models from many Parasolid-based CAD systems and the interrogation of the geometry and topology.
• Computer Aided Manufacturing. CAM systems generate instructions for computer controlled machine tools to manufacture a design. CAM covers every type of machining process from simple turning on a lathe to 5 axis milling of complex surfaces. Parasolid adds value by permitting the import of models from many Parasolid-based CAD systems and the interrogation of the geometry and topology. CAM systems require very accurate models to work effectively so Parasolid is the ideal solution.
• Translators. Parasolid is extremely good at accepting data from other modeler formats. Its unique Tolerant Modeling functionality can accommodate and compensate for less accurate data.
• Architecture, Engineering and Construction. AEC covers all aspects of a building's design from the structure to water, heating and ventilation. As technologies converge, Parasolid has become an attractive option, giving interoperability with mechanical CAD/CAM/CAE systems and facilitating a "single model" approach to huge projects.
• Enterprise. Several Parasolid customers use commercial Parasolid-based CAD/CAM/CAE systems and then write their own Parasolid-powered applications, large and small, that automate parts of their process to reduce cost and time to market.
• Academic. Parasolid is a perfect research tool because it is designed for easy integration and so a small team can achieve a great deal in a short time. Researchers can also exchange models with a vast range of Parasolid-powered application.
