Technology Built for Complex Engineering Challenges

Drive innovation and affordability with SOLIDWORKS technology

Defence suppliers choose SOLIDWORKS to design and deliver complex, high-quality components efficiently and with confidence. Integrated simulation and automated design tools help reduce risk, improve accuracy, and support compliance with strict standards. Its ease of use and collaboration capabilities enable faster development across teams and supply chains.

Accelerate Defence Innovation with Virtual Engineering

Transform complex defence programs with simulation-driven design, digital twins, and advanced engineering solutions, services and training from Javelin.

Reduce development risk, improve system performance, and bring mission-critical capabilities to deployment faster.

Drive Efficiency Across the Product Lifecycle

Communicate and collaborate with your team and suppliers

Break down barriers within teams and suppliers with a single centralized Bill of Materials (BOM) from any CAD model. Define, communicate, collaborate, and predict how designs will perform so they can be optimized before they are built. Minimize redundant parts and change modifications by leveraging existing parts. Securely reuse product design Intellectual Property (IP) across projects to focus on innovation.

Customer Example

How Aerospace Engineers use SOLIDWORKS Technology

Based in Waterloo, Ontario, Aeryon Labs design Small Unmanned Aerial Systems (sUAS) for a range of applications around the world.

Aeryon use SOLIDWORKS solutions to create molds, test their drones,  and optimize the aircraft’s weight and performance, passing savings and benefits on to their customers.

Develop the Skills Behind Mission-Critical Innovation

Maximize the value of your engineering investment

Equip your workforce with the skills needed to design, manufacture, and support complex defence products. Javelin helps engineers and technical teams maximize the value of SOLIDWORKS and related technologies, improving productivity, accelerating adoption, and ensuring consistent best practices across the organization.

Featured Case Study

Manufacture Mission-Ready Components with Industrial 3D Printing

Production-grade drones, payload modules, and fixtures built with the speed and flexibility of additive manufacturing.

Using the Formlabs Fuse 1+ SLS and Stratasys F370CR, a drone, swappable payload module, and rugged display fixture were 3D printed, vapor-smoothed, and assembled into durable end-use assemblies. The result is sealed, solid-black components and repeatable workflows designed to meet the rigorous demands of aerospace and defence applications.

Advanced Manufacturing Solutions for Canadian Defence Suppliers

Industrial 3D printing for lightweight, high-performance, mission-critical applications

Overview

Javelin empowers aerospace, defence, and government manufacturers with additive manufacturing solutions for prototyping, tooling, and production applications.

As 3D-printed parts become increasingly integrated into mission-critical equipment, additive manufacturing has evolved from a niche technology to an essential engineering and manufacturing capability. Our customers, such as L3, Bombardier, Boeing and Standard Aero are but a few partners benefiting from these advancements in additive technologies and materials. Like others in the aerospace industry, they are experiencing performance improvements with superior lightweight part design from integrated structures and component consolidation. By reducing weight, part count, design constraints and supply-chain risk, additive manufacturing is creating new production efficiencies for the aerospace and defence industry.

Advanced Manufacturing Features & Applications

Our software and additive solutions help aerospace designers and manufacturers to produce:

  • Enclosures & Interior Panels/Components
  • Liquid and Fuel Tanks
  • Gimbals
  • Grommets & Clips
  • Air Flow Ducts
  • Control Surfaces
  • UAV Components
  • Mounting Brackets

Advanced Manufacturing Machines & Materials

High-performance 3D printing systems and materials built for production

Defence suppliers use industrial 3D printing to accelerate prototyping, create specialized tooling, and produce durable end-use parts. With advanced materials and production-ready technologies, manufacturers can reduce lead times, increase flexibility, and strengthen supply chain resilience.
