The Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) will now provide members with free access to Dassault Systèmes SOLIDWORKS Student Design Kit – EAA Maker Edition software, MySolidWorks online video tutorials, the MySolidWorks Manufacturing Network, and related training and design resources.
Powered by the Dassault Systèmes 3DExperience Platform, SOLIDWORKS 3D applications help millions of engineers and designers succeed through innovation. SOLIDWORKS delivers an intuitive experience in product design, simulation, publishing, data management, and environmental impact assessment.
“Since its humble beginnings in Paul and Audrey’s basement, EAA has inspired, enabled, and defended our members’ right to take a dream sketched on a napkin at the dinner table to first flight and beyond,” said Jack Pelton, EAA CEO/Chairman. “SOLIDWORKS is the industry standard for computer-aided design. Aircraft and kit manufacturers from Cirrus to Zenith are designing today’s aircraft in SOLIDWORKS, and now EAA members can get free access to this powerful tool.”
“We are passionate about making product design accessible to anyone with an idea and an insatiable desire to design it and build it. The Experimental Aircraft Association, whose members construct their own personal aircraft, shares our history of inspiring and enabling that desire in its members,” said Marie Planchard, Director of Education and Early Engagement, Dassault Systèmes SOLIDWORKS.
In addition to providing SOLIDWORKS, EAA has developed a relationship with Graphics Systems Corp. (GSC), one of the largest SOLIDWORKS partners in the Midwest with several notable clients in the aerospace industry. GSC will help EAA launch this new benefit by helping EAA build and train a group of EAA volunteers with SOLIDWORKS experience to answer member questions and provide assistance through a dedicated area in the EAA Forums.
GSC will also provide experts to answer questions, conduct forums, and provide SOLIDWORKS demonstrations in the EAA AirVenture Museum and the Homebuilders Hangar at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2016. GSC will conduct training webinars throughout the year, and offer exclusive EAA member discounts on related products and services including training seminars, 3D printers, and 3D printing services.
