SOLIDWORKS Research licenses provide an extensive suite of proven, industry-standard tools for research applications at a fraction of the cost of commercial SOLIDWORKS.
Industry-Standard Design Tools at a Fraction of the Cost
The SOLIDWORKS Research license gives university researcher teams the latest in design and engineering technology. The software offers the same functionality as a commercial SOLIDWORKS license at a reduced cost. Unlike the educational licenses of SOLIDWORKS, the research edition has no educational watermark and no restrictions for use in publications, industry-funded projects, intellectual property transfer, or patent applications.
