What is SOLIDWORKS for Makers?

Used by makers who design their own parts instead of just printing someone else’s, SOLIDWORKS for Makers provides full-functionality 3D CAD tools for personal use. Export print-ready STL files straight to the same printer you already use for the models you download and remix on Thingiverse. Mac, Chromebook, and Windows users can choose from two comprehensive design packages, and Thingiverse Supporters get a 50% discount on their annual license.
