What’s new in SOLIDWORKS Education Edition
SOLIDWORKS® Education Edition 2024 is our desktop solution packed with power and performance. Our mission is to provide students with the tools and skills they need build their careers. SOLIDWORKS Education Edition delivers 3D design solutions to help unleash students’ creativity for inspired design.
SOLIDWORKS Education Edition provides powerful, engaging, hands-on software for students to understand the real-world mechanics of science, technology, engineering, art and math (STEM/STEAM). With SOLIDWORKS Education Edition, educators and students have access to the same 3D development tools used by countless engineering and design professionals around the world, so they can focus on what’s really important—fostering new ideas, solving problems, teamwork, and innovation.
The Education Edition includes over 12 products allowing students to conceptualize, create, validate, communicate, manage, and transform ideas into great designs. This includes:
SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD
SOLIDWORKS® 3D CAD solutions provide easy-to-learn, yet extremely powerful functionality that shortens product development time, reduces costs, and improves quality.
SOLIDWORKS Simulation
Subject your designs to real world conditions to raise product quality while reducing prototyping and physical testing costs.
SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation
Simulate the fluid flow, heat transfer, and fluid forces that are critical to the success of your designs.
SOLIDWORKS Plastics
Predict and avoid manufacturing defects in plastic part and injection mold designs, eliminating costly rework, improving part quality, and decreasing time to market.
SOLIDWORKS Electrical Professional
SOLIDWORKS® Electrical Professional combines the electrical schematic design capabilities of SOLIDWORKS Electrical Schematic Professional with the 3D capabilities of SOLIDWORKS Electrical 3D in one package.
SOLIDWORKS CAM
