Washington school adopts SolidWorks

A Washington state school district is using 3D computer-aided design software from SolidWorks Corp. as part of technology immersion program for its students, the Concord company said.

According to SolidWorks, Clover Park School District of Lakewood, Wash., is educating high school and middle school students in the same practices on the same technologies that many large companies use to design better products.

SolidWorks is owned by Dassault Systemes S.A., a French company that develops and markets software for design, analysis, and product data management.
