SOLIDWORKS® CAD Resources

For over 15 years, Dassault Systèmes has been a software supplier to FIRST® teams with SOLIDWORKS®. We are also introducing the 3DEXPERIENCE® platform, a technology platform that provides Product Lifecycle Management (PLM), collaboration, community, and Cloud CAD Apps to all FIRST teams. Enhance collaborative robot design with your team.

Obtaining SOLIDWORKS® Software

Dassault Systèmes makes software available to all FIRST teams via the FIRST SOLIDWORKS Desktop & SOLIDWORKS Cloud Sponsorship Page.

Dassault Systèmes provides both cloud-based and desktop-based tools to FIRST teams. Teams must:

  1. Create a 3DEXPERIENCE ID if you don’t have one.

  2. Apply to request your license.

SOLIDWORKS® Training Videos

Learning content for both the cloud-based and desktop-based tools is managed through the 3DS online learning portal, which manages access through your 3DEXPERIENCE ID.
