Autodesk

All UPrep students and faculty can access Autodesk software for free through https://www.autodesk.com/education. Log in with your school email to get started. Then reach out to June Peters at jpeters@universityprep.org to be assigned software licenses for the tools you need. Autodesk software is widely used in engineering, architecture, product design, and digital fabrication.

3D Design & Modeling

Fusion — Integrated 3D CAD, CAM, and CAE platform for product design, mechanical engineering, and fabrication. Ideal for laser cutting, CNC, and 3D printing workflows. See our Fusion Training recommendations to get started, and — if you're in Design and Fabrication — Fusion in This Class.

Tinkercad — Browser-based 3D modeling and circuit design app for beginners and quick projects. Great for students learning fundamentals.

Inventor — Advanced mechanical design and simulation software for professional engineering workflows.

Architecture & Construction

Revit — Building Information Modeling (BIM) software for architectural design, documentation, and coordination.

AutoCAD — Professional 2D drafting and 3D design tool used across engineering and architecture fields.

Civil 3D — Civil engineering design software for roads, grading, and infrastructure.

Media & Entertainment

Maya — 3D animation, modeling, and rendering software used in film, games, and visualization.

3ds Max — Professional 3D modeling and animation for design visualization and game development.

MotionBuilder — Real-time 3D character animation and motion capture editing.

Getting Started

Go to https://www.autodesk.com/education/edu-software/overview and verify your eligibility through SheerID with your school email — you don't need June to assign you a license. Note: if you sign in with Google using an @universityprep.org address, Autodesk may redirect you to UPrep's own sign-in page since our email is SSO-managed; that's expected.

Questions or verification trouble? Reach out to June Peters at jpeters@universityprep.org.
