SolidCAM for Education

SolidCAM makes fully integrated CNC/CAM software that runs directly inside SOLIDWORKS and Autodesk Inventor, and SolidCAM DONATES their CAM software to qualifying schools in the United States and Canada and can donate up to 100 seats of our software to your school if needed.

Imagine teaching your students Computer-Aided-Manufacturing directly inside the same design program they just learned. No new user interface to learn, no file import/export issues, and the CAM tool paths even update when the design model changes - YOU NEVER HAVE TO LEAVE YOUR CAD WINDOW!

Now Imagine Doing That With Donated Software!

There Is Absolutely No Catch. Our customer base is growing so fast that they’re having a hard time finding employees who know how to use the SolidCAM software. By donating the software to schools, students will be able to learn how to use the software, which in return will help our customers.
