Create impressive 3D product designs with amazing speed; develop the 3D CAD skills now in great demand with employers worldwide; and join the world’s largest professional network of 3D CAD designers by installing your Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 4.0 Student Edition.
Easy to Learn, Easy to Use
Pro/ENGINEER features an intuitive interface with hundreds of tools which bring your most creative ideas to life—fast! In fact, recent tests have shown that Pro/ENGINEER users can perform tasks 40% to 70% faster than competitive CAD solutions.
More Modules—All 100% Integrated
Because every Pro/ENGINEER CAD/CAM/CAE module is fully integrated and 100% associative, changes made to one module are instantly propagated to all other modules—providing you with an instant view and verification of design changes. You’ll work faster and smarter throughout the entire project.
Same Tools Used in the Industry
The Student Edition features the same advanced Pro/ENGINEER technology used everyday by hundreds of thousands of professionals worldwide. That means the skills that you develop will be immediately transferable to the professional world.
Benefits

Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 4.0 Student Editions offer powerful new capabilities and usability enhancements that optimize design processes and further improve personal and process productivity:
Detailed Design
- Innovative new Auto RoundTM Technology - Saves valuable time with automated rounding of even the most complex features. A rounding task which took an expert user 20 minutes to complete was accomplished by Auto Round in 40 seconds!
- Improved Large Assembly Performance - Automated and optimized assembly file management using simplified representations reduces memory consumption by 40% and model retrieval times by 60%
- Enhanced 3D Drawings - Automatically displays dimensions in 3D drawings which increases design information reuse and delivers production ready drawings.
- Faster Surface Removal - Quickly removes round and hole geometry to prepare designs for mold making or simplify designs for analysis. Reduces model editing time by up to 50%!
- New Feature Recognition Tool - Quickly converts imported geometries to features in your model
- Improved Data Exchange - publish Pro/ENGINEER data in 3D PDFs
- Enhanced Import DataDoctorTM - New data repair capabilities and easy-to-use, modernized user interface dramatically improves the ability to reuse legacy and 3rd party data
- Advancements in Surface Editing - Helps optimize designs with new capabilities for directly editing surfaces including multi-resolution editing and smoothing
- New Pro/ENGINEER Tolerance Analysis Extension Powered by CETOL Technology - This new module quickly analyzes geometric tolerances and variances directly in the CAD model
Verification and Validation
- Easier and Enhanced Simulation - Helps analyze designs faster and easier with smart diagnostics, improved meshing, better assembly connectivity management and analysis of results
Manufacturing Tooling and Factory Equipment Design
- Improved Usability - Simplifies and automates the transformation of engineering designs into manufacturing processes with an easy to use, powerful process manager for toolpath definition, annotation features, and other key capabilities
ElectromechanicalDesign Enhancements
- New Ribbon Cabling Creates - electromechanical designs faster with intelligent, automated capabilities for adding and routing ribbon cables
- Faster Design Collaboration - New Pro/ENGINEER ECAD-MCAD Collaboration Extension accelerates electromechanical design with a new interface between MCAD and ECAD designs. Users can automatically identify incremental changes and cross-highlight between MCAD and ECAD board designs
If you’re a student or educator looking to develop or teach the skills that are in the greatest demand in the industry, then it’s time to acquire your own version of Pro/ENGINEER.

* Understanding the user demographic for all edition, it is required that the edition be able to run without OpenGL. This is primarily due to the fact that users might be using this edition on home desktop machines and the available graphics cards may not support OpenGL. In order to address this issue in the event that users graphics card does not support OpenGL, PTC will include Software OpenGL technology into the installation.
This will be controlled by a new config.pro option called use_software_opengl=yes. When activated, Pro/ENGINEER will utilize the software OpenGL and ignore the standard graphics config.pro option.
For additional information on platform support details, please review the official Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 4.0 Platform Support Matrix.
