Back to School with 3DEXPERIENCE Edu

It’s back, back, back again – Back to School Season is here!

Each year 3DEXPERIENCE Edu offers students the opportunity to get free access to the platform for an entire year. On September 18th, running through November 6th (or until licenses run out) students can take advantage of the 2020 offer. A limited number of licenses (10,000) are available, so be sure to sign up quickly. For this year’s offer, students will get a choice between using CATIA 3DEXPERIENCE Engineer or SOLIDWORKS 3D Designer. Students who sign up should take note that this promo is for individual students and not for a classroom setting.
