For Students, Educators and/or Researchers. Tech Soft 3D's .EDU Program for HOOPS® allows students, educators and/or researchers a free license to the full suite HOOPS components for use by or within educational institutions.

  • Focus on Building Your Skills. Through the .EDU Program you gain access to the HOOPS 3D Product Suite:
    • HOOPS
    • HOOPS Stream Toolkit (HOOPS/Stream)
    • HOOPS Net Server (HOOPS/Net)

That means you get the same rich graphics, streaming and collaboration component technologies that are used by many of the leading engineering software vendors. As a result, you will be able to focus your efforts on your area of expertise rather than reinventing the functionality found in our libraries. In addition, your educational research project will have commercial-grade performance and functionality.

Hence, you (and your students) will be building marketable programming skills by using the CAD/CAM/CAE industry's most popular graphics toolkit.

  • Free Software and Free Resources. In addition to getting free access to the HOOPS components, participants in the .EDU Program may also use our Developer Zone site to get answers to common questions, find technical White Papers and sample code, and communicate with others in the extended HOOPS community.
