Noun

Is the use of the noun SolidWorks old now? (It will never be old) Everywhere in DSS reference, it is now SOLIDWORKS isn't it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.43.152.143 (talk) 11:40, 1 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Agree, it's now SOLIDWORKS isn't it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.43.152.143 (talk • contribs) 12:08, 15 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

And it's irrelevant. Per MOS:TRADEMARK, we don't show it as all caps in articles. ~Anachronist (talk) 00:53, 16 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This is a terrible article. Who cares who the Executive VP of 3DExperience Works" is? The whole article needs re-writing. Some of the links go to websites that look like they are from the 1990s. And why do we need a huge chart with the exact date of every historical release?

I've done quite a bit of work to update this "terrible article" with newer, more relevant links, and actual information on the software (both browser and cloud based). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Geekybiz (talk • contribs) 18:31, 5 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Edit Request - Additional Section

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.

What I think should be changed:

Add below text after the Cloud-connected roles Table:

SOLIDWORKS for Startups Program

The SOLIDWORKS for Startups Program, also known as the 3DEXPERIENCE Works for Startups program or the SOLIDWORKS Startup Program, is an initiative designed to support early-stage hardware startups. The program provides free access to industry-standard design, collaboration, and other product development tools for qualifying startups in their first year.^[1] Additionally, the program offers substantial discounts for the subsequent two years, with a 70% discount in the second year and a 50% discount in the third year. Participants in the program also receive free training and co-marketing resources to aid in their success.^[2]

Why I think this should be changed

This information is of use to those researching the page and company. It provides insight for individuals in the hardware startup industry and fully captures the company's programs.

Thank you for donating your valuable free time to help this page. Please adjust as necessary within Wikipedia guidelines.

Done I've removed the discount information, since discounts can change at any time, and I also added information from Engineering.com for additional context. ⸺(Random)staplers 21:13, 17 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
