Thanks to both Autodesk and Solidworks Corp for their amazing generosity that makes inspiration possible. Just think of how hard your build season would be if you had to pay for either of these programs. |

We use Inventor to design and build our robot, and it certainly makes a big difference on how efficiently and effectively we can work. I've heard Solid Works is similar but different. A lot of large manufacturing companies use Solid Works.
Search AUGI on the subject, and you'll get even more comparisons.
But yes, thanks to both companies for donating their software!
