The cheapest way to get access to solidworks is with a student email address. A lot of places allow you to purchase a 1 year license with a valid college email address. Otherwise, SolidWorks is just really expensive, and probably not practical for you yet

bumpify
and update: we now have our first design completed and in auto cad, and I'm now trying to see if i can get a favor from someone who works at a collage (and therefor doesn't have to pa for the machines or their operation) so i might get one relatively soon, and if not well likely just have to spend a lot of money.

Like I said, I can ask Alvin, but prototypes are not cheap. |

We know they cost a few hundred each for protos, but nobody will pay much for a proto of an unknown company(for now at least) |

okay, so were finally making actual working designs with the correct balance, weight etc.
im doping it in auto cad, but for some reason the command that everyone recommends for calculating volume isn't working, so even if we can start prototyping, we will still not know what the weight distribution is.

This is why usually people either pay someone to do this, or go to college for it. And just so you don't run into this issue like so many other companies have... Don't make your walls any thinner than 2mm at any point in the yoyo of you'll be able to bend the halfs themself when screwing the yo-yo together, or you'll have hub blow outs like with the original YYF GM2s |

Unless, you know....Mr.Firespitter wants to make a Titanium. Maybe the walls can be be thinner if it was 7075 Aluminum? My YYR Gleipnir's walls are definitely much thinner than 2mm. Or maybe it's structurally unsafe? The walls definitely feel +/- 1mm or so. |

are you sure its 2mm? I've seen plenty of the actual cads of yo-yos, and they're all plenty thinner than 2mm
