  1. 1

    Open an app

    Go to getcadcraft.com/use and pick the app your class uses. It runs in your browser: no download, no account.

  2. 2

    Or install it on your own computer

    Download CadCraft Studio, all eight apps in one install, from getcadcraft.com/download. It works offline.

  3. 3

    Save your work as files

    Save to your computer or a USB drive. Your drawings are ordinary files in open formats, and they are yours.

  4. 4

    Get SuperCad Studio free

    Apply at getcadcraft.com/education with your school email. A .edu address gets the license the moment you click the link we send.

SuperCad Studio, free while you're a student

The eight apps working as one ($250 for everyone else). Once a year we email you a one-click check, "Yep, still a student". After you graduate, the version you have keeps working; new versions come with a graduate license for $75, a price locked in the day you join.

Good habits

  • Save often, and keep a copy of your files off the lab computer: a USB drive or your school drive.
  • Your drawings are ordinary files in open formats. They are yours, during school and after.
  • Working together in class? Your teacher may share a live drawing with Live TeamWork: join with the short code they read out, from CadCraft Studio or a browser, and every edit shows up for everyone.
  • Stuck? Each app has step-by-step tutorials at getcadcraft.com/tutorials.
  • Something not working? Tell your teacher, or report it at getcadcraft.com/support. These are early builds (version 0.8) and reports make them better.
