**LAS VEGAS – (BUSINESS WIRE)** – In a major step towards democratizing access to professional design tools, **Autodesk, Inc.** (NASDAQ: ADSK) has announced it will offer its top-tier design, engineering, and entertainment software completely free* to students, educators, and academic institutions globally. This move marks a significant commitment by the company to empower the next generation of creators and innovators.
With this initiative, over 680 million students and educators from more than 800,000 secondary and post-secondary schools in 188 countries now have unrestricted access to Autodesk's industry-leading software and services. Whether in classrooms, computer labs, or at home, these tools will play a pivotal role in fostering creativity and technical expertise among young minds worldwide.
"As the way we design and build evolves, it's crucial to equip the workforce of tomorrow with the right tools," said Carl Bass, CEO of Autodesk. "By offering free professional-grade software to students and educators, we're ensuring that future designers, engineers, and architects are prepared for the challenges ahead."
This global rollout follows Autodesk's earlier announcement of free software access to academic institutions in the U.S. under President Obama's ConnectED initiative. Since then, the company has progressively extended similar benefits to institutions across Asia-Pacific and Europe. In addition to its core software, Autodesk is also enabling schools to embrace cloud-based solutions like the **A360 collaboration platform**, while providing maintenance subscriptions at no cost.
Young talents are already harnessing these tools to tackle real-world problems. For instance, middle school students are using **Fusion 360** to conceptualize and prototype prosthetic limbs, while university teams are leveraging **BIM 360 Glue** to develop sustainable housing projects. These examples underscore how accessible design tools are inspiring innovation both within and beyond traditional educational settings.
Karen Kaun, founder of Makeosity, shared her excitement: "Our eighth graders are designing energy-efficient scooters for Kickstarter campaigns using Fusion 360. Imagine what other students could achieve if we integrated design thinking into more curricula!"
To support educators in integrating these tools into their teaching, Autodesk provides free, project-based learning materials such as the **Digital STEAM Workshop** and **Design Academy**.
Neelie Kroes, former Vice-President of the European Commission, praised the initiative: "Providing schools with access to cutting-edge technology levels the playing field for digital natives, empowering them to address real-world issues creatively while equipping them with essential 21st-century skills."

This bold move by Autodesk not only strengthens its position as a leader in 3D design but also underscores its dedication to nurturing the next wave of innovators.
Deep Well Plates
The length and width of the deep well plate comply with the SBS international standards. The depth of wells is increased based on the appearance and size of normal plates (mainly 96-well and 384-well plates) to enlarge the volume of each well. In addition, the manufacturing material(currently mostly used is polypropylene (PP)) is changed and the surface treatment process has been improved for this series of deep well plates to adapt to its specific use range. The deep well plates of NEST have a variety of specifications, conforming with the needs of fully automatic workstations and experiments.
Features:
• USP VI Polypropylene material, High chemical stability.
• Temperature range: -80°C to 120°C.
• Autoclavable.
• Centrifugal strength up to 3,000xg.
• Compatible with multichannel Pipettes and automatic equipment.
• Optimized bottom design to minimize residual volume.
• Clear alphanumeric codes for easy identification.
• Conform to SBS/ ANSI.
• Specific 96 well deep plate used in nucleic acid extraction.
• Stackable, reliable tight sealing.
• Non-pryogenic, DNase/RNase free.
Usage
• Sample storage: it can replace the conventional 1.5ml Centrifuge Tube to store samples, and can be arranged tidily to save space, with large storage capacity, and can withstand the -80℃ refrigerator condition. Therefore, it`s also called storage plate.
• Sample processing:it can be used and combined with multipass pipettes, high-throughput automatic liquid processors and respective softwares to allow the high-throughput operation of biological samples, for example, protein precipitation, liquid extraction, nucleic acid extraction,etc. Greatly improving the efficiency of sample processing. Can withstand high temperature and high pressure sterilization at 121℃.
• Sample injection:suitable for the automatic devices of various companies, it can be directly placed in the sample compartment of the
automatic device for injection. Compared to conventional sample injection, it can not only double the sample amount placed in the sample
compartment, but also realizes the direct sample injection of samples after processing on the 96-well plate, eliminating the tedious work of pipetting and placing samples back and forth.
