I am a young ME with moderate design experience. I'm looking to move forward with some concepts I have for new products. I have complete concepts, and would need a custom plastic injection molded component. The injection molders I have worked with require a .STL file to make the tool. I have access to a student version of SolidWorks, and solidworks at my company, but I cannot be use these for my own manufacturing. How do I move forward with this investment without purchasing a CAD program?
Can I model what I want in the student version, and pay a company to convert it to a licensed file? Any other ways around this?
