CONCORD, Mass., Oct. 15, 2007 – SolidWorks Corporation has teamed with other leading design software providers to launch The CAD Academy®, a secondary and post-secondary pre-engineering and pre-architectural program designed to inspire a new generation of engineers and architects at a price educators can afford. The program bundles industry-leading design, engineering, and architecture software with curriculum, support, and multimedia content, all at a fraction of the cost of other design education packages.
The CAD Academy software offering includes:
- SolidWorks® Education Edition 3D CAD software for product design and mechanical engineering;
- Graphisoft® ArchiCAD, a Building Information Modeling (BIM) software program for architectural modeling;
- Google™ SketchUp Pro, one of the simplest 3D design tools, with Podium photorealistic rendering;
- A+ CAD®, a proprietary The CAD Academy software product that uses the familiar AutoCAD® user interface, commands, applications, and compatibility “without the high cost”; and
- Discovery Channel® multimedia content, including excerpts from the “Extreme Engineering” show.
