Long term, we will make Centroid available for FREE for educational1 and non-commercial2 use.

1Free educational use

Centroid will always be FREE of charge to educators and students. We have a few simple requirements:

  • You do not need to be full-time educator or student to qualify; part-time students are welcome too. But if this describes your situation, then please note the prohibition of commercial use as per our terms of service.

2Free non-commercial use

We permit FREE use of Centroid for non-commercial use under our terms of service. Examples of non-commercial use include:

  • Designing a structure for yourself.
  • Designing a structure for a family member or friend without charging them for your services.
  • Designing a structure in a project for a registered charitable organization.

We welcome retired engineers that want to stay up to date by practicing their design skills.
