SolidCAD is described as a market leader in Canada in digital solutions for the design, construction, and manufacturing industries, and is a Platinum Partner of Autodesk.

The acquisition marks an expansion of Symetri's operations in North and Latin America, as Canada will be added to the company's existing presence in the United States and Brazil.
