For people starting a company they also have an Entrepreneur program. At that point, it's cheaper to buy the software for $4,000 than it is to pay the lawyer to defend yourself against their piracy suit, which is why people who get caught always end up buying it.Īs for people in school, they have highly discounted educational licenses/ the program may be free now I haven't looked in a while, but I believe it used to be $99. Even if you decide to fight, SOLIDWORKS has lawyers on staff, not something that most individuals can say.

In those cases, there is no cyber attack counter-suit recourse, you effectively told them your license information. SOLIDWORKS is then alerted that there are multiple activations in different locations for the same license.

People call for support for a pirated license, or put in a license key that is already in use and try to activate it. I work for a SOLIDWORKS reseller, and I can tell you I've seen it happen. It is horribly unintuitive, but it's there and it's completely free. Free built in FEA module is quite nice (although linear only, for better stuff get free ANSYS - limited nodes but good enough for small things) and an amazing rendering module.įreeCAD - This is the "half" of an option. The 2D module is a bit lacking (no customization of the table, no ordinate dimensions etc) but you can have things done correctly with some workarounds.
It's free for education and for startups making less than $100k per year, otherwise no limitations. It is visibly slower than traditional CAD.įusion360 - My personal favourite. It sounds like a lot of space, but it's not. Free tier has 100MB of private space available which you will eat up very quick. Onshape - It is a good option if you are willing to keep your work public. There is two and a half solution out there in the market. You mentioned SolidWorks, so you will not be interested in digital pen and paper like DraftSight. People here are throwing both 2D and 3D software around.
