Before getting started we recommend you create a 3D Experience ID. This is quick and free and will allow you not only to access the Solidworks Downloads page but also all the content featured on SOLIDWORKS. To get started head to the following link to create your ID: 3DX ID Creation<\/a><\/p>\n

Once you have done that the next step is to go and get the Solidworks installation files from the downloads page linked here, SOLIDWORKS Design Downloads<\/a>. Use your freshly created 3D experience ID or an existing one if you have it.<\/p>\n

From here just follow the steps in our guide to help you through the rest of the process to have you in Solidworks and designing in no time.<\/p>\n
