GAIN - Gemini Academic Initiative

Our educational program with free software licenses for commercial grade CAD/CAM technology

Apply for program

GAIN | FREE Access to the latest CAD/CAM technology to all your students

The best way to learn is by doing and making

Private or public educational institutions like universities, faculties, colleges, high schools and vocational schools
Individuals associated with educational institutions like teachers, researchers and students

Training organizations

Research institutes and associations

GAIN empowers students and teachers alike to achieve more by offering access to the latest CAD/CAM technology used in the industry.

 

The technical education environment preparing designers and CAD/CAM specialists for the fashion and apparel industry has been always struggling to gain access to production level technology and to reproduce real manufacturing processes in their labs.

 

Our contribution to change is granting access to a complete solution that covers the  production workflow (design, product development, and manufacturing) in the fashion and apparel industry.

 

Under GAIN, we offer free educational licenses for commercial grade technology to any type of technical educational institution and any individual associated with one, without limitation to teachers, researchers, trainers, as well as all their students, trainees, and course attendees, for as long as they are involved in the educational activities.

ACCESS TO HIGH TECHNOLOGY – The educational licenses refer to the highest level of Gemini CAD Systems technology and the latest versions of the software products.

NO COSTS – The educational licenses are free of charge for all the software products, granted under a GAIN contract, for all the authorized institutions and individuals.

PRODUCTION LEVEL USAGE – Get access to commercial-grade software products, which means access to the creative features of the applications, but also access to using them for a complete production workflow.

24/7 ACCESSIBILITY – You get 24/7 access to your licenses by having the possibility to install the software on your personal home computer as well as on the school ones. This way, you are not limited to access the applications only at school, but you can access it anytime, in the comfort of your home.

ONLINE COLLABORATION TOOLS – With the possibility to share and transfer files between teachers and students, our solution perfectly serves the need for online or hybrid learning systems, allowing students and teachers to send each other files for review and collaborative work from a distance.

LONG TERM ACCESS – The educational licenses remain valid for authorized individuals throughout the entire duration of their educational activities, and post-graduation, the former students get to keep all the work they created during classes.

Gemini CAD gives teachers what they need most: more time to teach. We put the power of technology to work for you. In and out of class.  Give those students multiple opportunities to engage with that information, using critical thinking, cooperation, and other skills in the process.
