Arcform for education
Arcform gives design students real-time rendering, iteration and critique in one workspace — free for verified students and faculty.
Taught in design programs at
Faculty get a free Arcform workspace for every class and workshop — the same rendering pipeline shipping in professional practice.
Turn a rough sketch into a photoreal render while you talk it through — then push the same file into motion for the final crit.
Students work on one canvas, leave pinned feedback and version every change, the way a studio runs a review.
No cap on what a cohort can make. Concept sketches through portfolio pieces stay organised in a single place for grading.
Teach the file handoffs, naming and review loops used at top consultancies so graduates arrive fluent on day one.
Lesson plans, assignment briefs and tutorial libraries written for studio courses, not for software marketing.
Arcform folds professional design tools into your curriculum without the licence admin or the cost.
Sign up with a faculty address and add proof of enrolment. Once approved, a whole cohort is creating within the hour.
Curriculum guides, assignment templates and tutorial libraries built for design education rather than generic onboarding.
Students practise the workflows industry runs on — concept through development — and graduate with the skills that get hired.
Track cohort progress, hand out seats and collaborate with teaching assistants from a single faculty console.
Export renders, turntables and process boards at the resolution a graduate portfolio review expects.
