We’re excited to announce that 3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS for Makers, CAD for personal use, is now available in India, which is a significant win for the emerging DIY community. Innovation has played a significant role in India’s growth, and with the advent of tools like 3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS for Makers, the potential to make and innovate becomes more accessible than ever. Every maker has a place in this journey, whether it’s transforming traditional crafts with modern technology, developing
Last year we introduced the Configuration Manger in our cloud-connected roles, 3DEXPRERIENCE SOLIDWORKS and Collaborative Designer for SOLIDWORKS in the R2024x update. You all were super excited to hear about it when it was brought up in the Design Domain general session at this year’s 3DEXPRERIENCE World and for good reason. In this blog I’ll tell you more about it so you can start using it today! (If you’re not already).
In March we aired our What’s New in 3DEXPERIENCE Works 2024 episode of SOLIDWORKS Live, an episode that included so many new enhancements and product features included in the latest release. We showed off the enhancements that make the 3DEXPERIENCE platform the best tool for cross-collaborative product development, including the ideal ways to work together amongst your teams to create the best products in the world. Our host, Sean O’Neill, outlined the format of the episode, which began with a
Design collaboration is key to getting well-vetted, high-quality products to market quickly and efficiently. That doesn’t mean that it doesn’t come at a cost, especially if you’re still using sub-standard means of collaborating, like emails or actual meetings. There is a better way. With Cloud Services, now included with new SOLIDWORKS subscriptions, you can simplify your design process, save time, and bring your designs to life faster than ever before.
The design mantra for today’s design teams is efficiency. To get the most out of as little as you can, without sacrificing quality or performance. This has led many to mimic nature, who over a millennium of evolution has created many high efficiency solutions. One of nature’s solutions to strength to weight ration problems is to use lattice structures, where a repeating pattern creates an open cell structure that is both strong and light.
Inventor, co-founder, and CTO Anthony Wong launched Inmotive, Inc. in 2016 to focus on transforming his innovative multispeed electric vehicle (EV) transmission idea into a commercial product for licensing by EV manufacturers. Wong’s Ingear™ transmission extends EV range up to 15 percent and improves top speed up to 20 percent. To develop the Ingear transmission, Inmotive needed a user-friendly system that could enable its geographically dispersed team to streamline design communication,
Collaborating on design projects remotely can be challenging and inefficient, but Cloud Services for SOLIDWORKS can help alleviate your frustrations by addressing the everyday obstacles that hinder seamless collaboration. Secure CAD-aware storage offers seamless accessibility, allowing you to retrieve your data from anywhere, at any time. With Cloud Services, your designs are always within reach. No more wasted time on rework, lost files, or unnecessary friction in your design processes.
It’s a cold, overcast day in New England, and a small crowd is assembled in an open field, eagerly anticipating the launch of a model rocket called the “Eggcubator.” The rocket is loaded on the launch rod, and the ignition clips are connected. As the countdown begins, there is a mix of excitement and nervousness in the air. Will the rocket fly?
If you have worked as a product designer for any period of time, it’s highly likely you’ve wasted a fair amount of time searching for files, perhaps only to find out a coworker with quite imaginative file-naming conventions has overwritten your work. Who has time for rework in today’s fast-paced work environment? Yep, we know. You are not alone.
SOLIDWORKS has always been a customer-driven product. Enhancements to SOLIDWORKS products are driven from feedback obtained through direct customer research, analysis of our many internal databases of customer information, reviewing feedback from our many public forums and, of course perhaps most importantly, direct customer request for enhancements – like the ideas submitted to the The Top Ten List – 3DEXPERIENCE World 2024. Earlier this year, EngineersRule.com, featured a blog post about this
You became an engineer because you love to design, but today’s tech tools produce a torrent of data so you might find that you’re spending more time grinding through tedious tasks and trying to locate the most current files instead of doing what you love: design. Do you ever wish you could sideline some of those tasks so you can stay laser-focused on actual design work? That’s where Cloud Services for SOLIDWORKS comes in. Cloud Services connects your SOLIDWORKS Desktop CAD data to the
By now you all know that Dassault Systèmes is encouraging you to get on board with the cloud-based 3DEXPERIENCE platform, so you can get the most out of your SOLIDWORKS data and enhance your workflow with purpose-built tools. We offer two flavors on the cloud so you can do just that, including “SOLIDWORKS with the Platform” available in 3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS and Collaborative Designer for SOLIDWORKS in the 3DEXPERIENCE Works portfolio and “SOLIDWORKS on the Platform” available in the fully
Ironman suit by @Carlos3DPrint This year’s Maker Zone was all about diving hands-on into creativity and collaboration, powered by the 3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS for Makers offer. Sean O’Neill from 3DEXPERIENCE Works and SOLIDWORKS Live summed it up perfectly as “Edutainment at its finest.” Here’s a rundown of the standout moments that made the event unforgettable. Droid Assembly Line – A First Time Feat We kicked things off with a bang with a Droid Building Assembly Line, a first for the event.
I know that International Women’s Day was last week, but in honesty should it not be a week? I also feel the same sentiment about Mother’s Day, but perhaps I digress. It most certainly is National Women’s Month so today’s topic is timely in myriad ways. At our recent user event, we had a speaker who represents the power and potential of women better than most.
In February we announced the latest updates to our cloud-connected and browser-based solutions, including Electrical Schematic Designer, as part of R2024x functional delivery (FD) 01. Sometimes it’s the little things you use all day that can have the biggest impact on your productivity. We call these enhancements “delighters.” In the R2024x FD01 update you will find various delighters that will have a big impact on your workflow, enabling you to be more productive.
Starting last July, all new SOLIDWORKS licenses come with Cloud Services for SOLIDWORKS. Existing SOLIDWORKS users also have an easy path to upgrading their subscription by adding Cloud Services. But why should they? To provide a comprehensive answer, we asked CIMdata, a premier independent research firm specializing in product lifecycle management (PLM), to conduct an in-depth analysis of Cloud Services and their benefits to SOLIDWORKS users.
The General Sessions that spans over three days at 3DEXPERIENCE World always bring a jam-packed lineup of technology, engineering marvels, and motivational keynote speakers. At 3DEXPERIENCE World 2024 in Dallas, the tech marketing team put together a demo that you just can’t miss, intended to highlight some of the upcoming features to be released later in the year and next year’s version of SOLIDWORKS. This year, the team put the audience’s mystery-solving expertise to the test by following a
Design is everything. Ensuring your designs will work in the real world is priceless. With that being said, it’s important to take the time to test not only for fit and function, but to have the capacity to explore various iterations to ensure your products can be designed to their fullest potential so you can provide the best experience possible for your customers. And why not save a few bucks and reduce your carbon footprint at your organization by making more informed decisions driven by your
