Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] solid works

Go to solidworks.com and you can peruse the info regarding the student
porgram.
Basically it's a somewhat cutdown version and the licence for it is only
good for 2 years.
You must alos be connected to the internet to use it, so after your 2 yrs
runs out you won't be able to use it any more.
