This week is the annual user group meeting for SolidWorks, in Boston. To celebrate, the company issued a press release trumpeting 300,000 total seats worldwide. Typically, that number includes a majority of education seats. The company began shipping product in 1995.
In the on-going war by press release, it's now up to Autodesk to meet or beat the 300 thousand figure.
In other large numbers released by SolidWorks today:
- 100,000 licenses in the last 16 months, some 33% faster than the previous 100,000.
- 35,000 companies and 5,000 educational institutions purchased SolidWorks.
- 1.6 million models download using 3D PartStream.NET in 2003.
- 50,000 users registered on 3D ContentCentral (3,000 a month).
