WSCAD ELECTRIX Education
WSCAD supports non-profit education with the free electrical CAD software WSCAD ELECTRIX Education for 24 months for teachers and students. The free educational license is intended for trainees in the fields of electrical engineering, electrical design, mechatronics (with a focus on electrical engineering), mechanical engineering (with a focus on fluid systems), automation technology, and degree programs such as industrial engineering or energy and building technology.
WSCAD Education is now also available with AI!
Learn everything about the AI Copilot that makes your daily work easier. You can now extend your WSCAD Education license for free or request a new license to install ELECTRIX AI.

Not just theory – real-world practice!
With WSCAD ELECTRIX Education, school students, trainees, and university students can immediately apply their theoretical knowledge in practice using the E-CAD software.
The functionality of WSCAD ELECTRIX Education is equivalent to our WSCAD ELECTRIX Ultimate version, including the Project Wizard and User Rights add-ons, with only minor limitations.
Thanks to server or standalone installation options, learners can also practice and work from home.
This helps reinforce what they’ve learned and ensures a confident, efficient use of a cutting-edge E-CAD software right from the start.
