3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS For Students and Makers
SOLIDWORKS is one of the industry-leading 3D CAD software packages available. This is great for companies that can afford the expense, but often leaves out users such as students or makers that would like to use it for personal projects. Now, with the 3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS Offers for students and makers, everyone can afford to take advantage of these industry-leading design tools with additional benefits of the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform!
Topics covered in this post:
SOLIDWORKS For Students
SOLIDWORKS has two different offers for Students, one provides SOLIDWORKS Desktop access, and the other offer provides innovative Cloud tools through the Cloud Apps for Students option.
The classic SOLIDWORKS license is great for students that have the required hardware, but this is not always the case.
The SOLIDWORKS Cloud Apps provide students access to a variety of browser-based CAD apps that allow them to design anywhere, on any device; even mobile devices such as tablets.
A few of the favorite cloud apps include:
As part of the SOLIDWORKS Clouds Apps for Students, in addition to the design tools, students will have access to all of the data and lifecycle management capabilities to help them start implementing proper practices early!
Being students, we don’t expect them to know everything already. That’s why there is a dedicated onboarding and learning path included with either offer to get them up and running. Once they’re ready, they will also have access to certification exams to verify their knowledge.
3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS For Makers
The 3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS for Makers offer comes with everything a maker needs to get their designs production ready for their home workshop! The primary design tool provided with this offer is 3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS Professional. This provides SOLIDWORKS Professional capabilities with additional cloud-based data storage and PLM tools. Just as with the student offer, SOLIDWORKS is installed locally but requires an internet connection for licensing and there are some cloud-based modeling tools included. The makers offer comes with 3D Creator and 3D Sculptor for all your parametric and subdivision modeling needs right from within your web browser, regardless of device.
Designs created with the 3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS for Makers offer are not meant for any commercial purposes and therefore cannot be opened on any commercial version of SOLIDWORKS.
Makers will have access to two communities. One for sharing ideas and one for support as they’re getting up and running with the offer. All these goodies are available for an amazingly low price of $99 per year!
Conclusion
With offers as enticing as these, now nobody has an excuse to let their designs stay as a concept. Bring it to life, whether you’re a student or just someone who likes to create things in their home workshop. Students can access SOLIDWORKS Premium capabilities and additional 3DEXPERIENCE tools for $60/year. Makers can access SOLIDWORKS Professional capabilities with additional 3DEXPERIENCE tools for $99/year. Get started designing today!
