CAD Design Software? - 04.23.2007, 01:20 AM

I'm thinking of maybe designing some custom parts that I could send to Mike to have machined.

Anyone know where I can get some design software to do this (and not destroy my wallet)? The only AutoCAD price I've seen so fare cost 4 grand!

Any help is awesome (as always).

What about emachineshop? It's designed to use to make things and then get quotes for having it made, but should work I would think...

If you are a student..... There is a student version for $99. It has alicence that activates the software for 1 year. I'm not sure if there are nay other limitations on the student versions. If you (or someone you know ;) ) is a student, even part time, you should qualify.I dont think you will find a better deal out there for actual real 3-D modeling software.

EDIT: Correction... $99 bucks is good for a 2 year licence.


I can't decide if its more fun
to make it...
or break it...

emachineshop is very limited IMO

you can't make assemblies with it, and solidworks is easier to work with.

In another topic about this, soemone gave me this link:

I haven't had any experience with it though.
