This is a great video. I'm definately going to try this.

What kind of platform does it run on? macOS too? Thanks for the tip, great job!

@Eric_A_Beatty 4 ай бұрын

It requires Windows 10 or Windows 11.

@@PiegatoreSolidworks There are certainly laptops that meet the hardware requirements, but just to be certain you might consider taking a look at this System Requirements guide: www.solidworks.com/support/system-requirements There's also a link in the Hardware section to Certified Cards and Drivers that will let you check for graphics card compatibility. Hope this helps! For extra context, all the footage in this video was recorded using a Lenovo ThinkPad P15 Gen 2i with an NVIDIA T1200 laptop GPU running Windows 11.

can i use solidworks on both my workshop computer and laptop (ofc not at the same time) with a makers licence?

@SolidProfessor 2 ай бұрын

Great question! This shouldn't be a problem, as the Maker version (and all 3DEXPERIENCE versions) use your login credentials to authenticate the license.

Just to be clear, this '"Maker" version is "cloud" based and what ever computer you might lo use access this "Maker" version must meet the minimum requirements of 2024 Solidworks such as a CPU ,Ram and a video processor . In other words the computers you intend to do your projects on must be relatively new or the program will not run. From what I have found, the HP VICTUS gaming laptop should work and is the least costly at $634.59 AMAZON price. I How long that laptop meet the requirement, is another story I suspect that due to updates, that laptop could be obsoleted when the 2025 version of "Maker" is released.

Can I use this 3d experience software to 3d print my designs and sell them without restrictions? please help. Been checking different 3d cad softwares that put restrictions on how much money you can make off your 3d print designs which I found ridiculous.

@SolidProfessor 27 күн бұрын

You can use this version to design and 3D print, but unfortunately income is limited to $2,000 per year for the Makers license according to Dassault Systemes. This tends to be the case for most hobbyist versions of CAD software as you mentioned. The free version of Fusion is limited to $1,000 per year, and many other programs don't allow for commercial use at all.

@@SolidProfessorHow they know your income? Is this means your files on cloud is being checked by size maybe? 😮

@SolidProfessor 6 күн бұрын

@@bonjournito To clarify, the income limit only applies to income made as a result of using SOLIDWORKS, not including any other sources of income. However, I don't have any insight as to how that income is monitored. I wouldn't expect that files sizes are monitored to predict income, though.

Do the solidworks for student is free or do you need to pay for it?

What about the login issues?
