Educational Members

The ODA also strives to stimulate and sponsor research by making its software libraries available free of charge to educational institutes and students researching CAD/CAM and engineering software. In some cases the ODA Board of Directors will grant access to the source code to allow research and development of specific algorithms used in engineering software.
 
Students and educational institutes are encouraged to submit their finished projects to the ODA Educational Showcase. Each year the ODA will award a prize for the best project submitted.
 
Application
