For Researchers
Dive deep into your research with the power of a SOLIDWORKS research license. Focus on innovation, not cost or usage restrictions.
Focus On Research, Not Roadblocks
- Maximize Your Research Budget: Access the full suite of SOLIDWORKS, SIMULIA, and CATIA commercial tools at a fraction of the cost.
- Accelerate Innovation: Use powerful software to turn ideas into future-ready products without budget constraints.
- No Limitations or Watermarks: Enjoy all the benefits of the full commercial version without restrictions.
- World-Class Support: Receive expert guidance and training from top technicians, from concept to validation.
Innovate Without Limits
Our research license gives you access to the industry-standard design tools you need at a fraction of the cost. With this special license, you can allocate more of your budget to other critical research investments without compromising on software capabilities. Plus, there’s no need to worry about special agreements—use the full commercial version without any restrictions or watermarks.
Customize Your 3D CAD Solution
Choose from our cloud based 3DEXPERIENCE Platform, or the desktop version of SOLIDWORKS.
Both solutions provide access to comprehensive tools for CAD, CAM, CAE, and simulation, equipping students with the skills they need in modern engineering and product development.
Together, we’ll find the right solution for your research needs.
Benefits of the 3DEXPERIENCE Research License
Full functionality, reduced pricing
Full technical support resources from concept to validation
No educational watermarks, no restrictions on usage
Software Included in our Research License
SOLIDWORKS for EDU is perfect for designers and engineers who want an intuitive and powerful set of 3D design tools to power their innovation.
