CAD vs SolidWorks

[BigMacFatAttack]

Now that 5288, The Spartans rookie year is finished, we are now fully experienced in what FRC is all about, and what it takes to do well. When in St. Louis we learned many ideas which we wish to implicate in the next season.

However, I want to know the benefits of both CAD and SolidWorks in ability to learn, the diversity of the program and how they integrate with a 3D printer.

In short, which program is the most beneficial to a team who has no experience in either?
