Software
Onshape: The “official” CAD package of the Makerspace though our student staff know how to use many others. A very powerful, browser-based, free CAD program for university students, faculty and staff. Click here to create a free account. Note that Onshape was founded by the same person that founded Solidworks (article) so this is not your typical freeware CAD software – it’s a real engineering tool.
Other options at UW-Madison College of Engineering (Solidworks, Autodesk, NX, etc.):
Check out the CAD software available in the engineering computer labs (CAE) here. You can access this software via:
[1] CAE computer labs. Go here for their location (note: not in the Makerspace)
[2] Remotely using Citrix – click here for more info. This works on mac and windows via a browser.
Check-in during the hours below for questions pertaining to design consultation, materials, and best practices.
