About SolidWorks Beta Programs

This is your opportunity to impact the quality, performance, and reliability of DS SolidWorks products. We appreciate the valuable time you invest in testing SolidWorks software.

The R&D staff will be available to listen and react to your feedback in the Beta Forum. Simply said, the development and QA teams of SolidWorks 2014 really want to hear from you!

Our objective is to give you confidence in your migration to SolidWorks 2014.

Testing with Beta releases helps avoid migration problems that are specific to your environment, data and workflows.

As a way of thanking you for your efforts, there are several exciting contests where you can win valuable prizes.
