i3Detroit is Metro Detroit’s largest community-run DIY workshop. The space is a collision of art, technology, learning, and collaboration, powered by Solid Edge. Whatever you want to build, you can do it here.

Solid Edge provides these skilled hobbyists and makers with a range of free tools for 2D and 3D design, design for 3D printing and manufacturing, and cloud-based project collaboration.

2D drafting puts your thoughts on the page

From designing floor plans to sketching ideas for the shop floor, Solid Edge 2D Drafting offers simple drawing layout, diagramming, annotation, and dimensioning. When you’re finished, you can save your file as either a Solid Edge or .DWG format, allowing you the flexibility to collaborate with customers, peers, and partners.

Software to bring your ideas to life

The Solid Edge Student Edition is available not only to traditional students, but also self-taught learners, including makers and hobbyists practicing their craft for personal satisfaction, not monetary gain. Create 3D models for printing and prototyping. The license never expires.

Project-based collaboration with the Solid Edge portal

Take advantage of free, cloud-based file management to organize your projects. Upload and manage your files in cloud-based project folders, with free access to 5GB of file storage. Upload multiple projects for your makerspace or share designs with project collaborators.
