For over 20 years, SOLIDWORKS EDU supports FIRST Robotics teams, FRC, FTC, FLL and FIRST Global. We provide FREE software to registered student teams and with support from Dassault Systèmes, our Value Added Resellers, and the SOLIDWORKS community, we also support teams and events throughout the world.
We have created a website just for FIRST teams – www.solidworks.com/FIRST. Teams (the mentor) can apply for FREE software, get access to training, the FRC Kit of Parts and more.
SOLIDWORKS software for PC’s and SOLIDWORKS xDesign 100% browser based CAD software give teams the software CAD tools they need to compete. Our software is the same used by engineers, designers and manufacturers to create the best products.
SOLIDWORKS Champions Jade WIlson and Kirby Downey were at FTC UK – and yes we support hundreds of FTC, FLL and FIRST Global teams too. Check out Jade’s blog on the FTC event.
In the month of August, you can watch our SOLIDWORKS webinar series to help FIRST teams. Check out the post on Chief Delphi. Don’t worry if you miss one – you can view the recording.
We love hearing from FIRST teams and visiting FIRST teams. So join us on Instagram and Facebook to let us know where you are competing or your community STEM outreach.
