Benefits

The membership could design our own models for 3d printing

Education Discounts.

This topic is preemptive.

  • PS:One does not have 501(c)3 status.
  • PS:One is not an accredited educational institution.

If you are going to reference educationally discounted software, you have to contact the vendor first and ensure that they will consider PS:One an educational institution and that we qualify for educational discounts.

Possible Software Alternatives

Rhino

Autodesk Inventor

DesignSpark

  • Free

    • Does anyone use it professionally? --Hef (talk) 10:41, 22 October 2014 (CDT)

SolidWorks

  • Solid works would probably be ideal. Most of the mechanical engineers and industrial designers I have talked to say this is the tool they use most. --Hef (talk) 10:41, 22 October 2014 (CDT)
  • Outside the price range I am comfortable with for getting PS:One started on CAD --Hef (talk) 16:50, 21 October 2014 (CDT)
