Solutions for Makers

With advances in 3D printing, design software, and rise in maker spaces, SOLIDWORKS® is dedicated to being a key contributor to the maker movement for artists, designers, engineers, and entrepreneurs.

Democratizing Design in Maker Spaces

Maker spaces and Fab Labs are the lifeblood for makers, providing mentorship and community. Qualifying Fab Labs and maker spaces can use SOLIDWORKS to design and validate projects with integrated mechanical, simulation, electrical, kinematics, cost, sustainability, and technical communication tools.

SOLIDWORKS for Fab Labs

Fab Labs listed in the Fab Foundation network can get access to all the tools required for modeling and visualizing ideas in 3D, which can be used by fabbers to fabricate physical products or objects.
