There’s no question that the best thing about SOLIDWORKS is its large passionate group of users, which is one of the many reasons we were disappointed to not be meeting in person this year. Nowhere is this passion more evident than during our annual World events, and especially on the last day when the spotlight is on all the amazing things being done with SOLIDWORKS and the equally amazing people behind those creations. Today’s general session “From Connections to Relationships / Community”
We are excited to announce that some of our top Value-Added Resellers will join as sponsors for the first time at 3DEXPERIENCE World 2022.

Each year, makers from more than 2000 Fab Labs worldwide gather to share, collaborate, explore and fabricate together in the annual meeting (FabX) of the international fab lab network hosted by The Fab Foundation, the Center for Bits and Atoms at MIT, and a host fab lab. The venue varies from year to year around the world. In 2018, the Fab14 conference took place in Toulouse, France, while in 2019, Fab15 was hosted in Cairo and El-Gouna, Egypt. Last year, in the wake of the pandemic, the event
Today we kicked off the first day of general sessions for the all-virtual 3DEXPERIENCE World 2021. While it was certainly different than our in-person event, we covered a lot of ground and heard some really exciting announcements. Here are some highlights. Get certified.
3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS Role(s) were launched and made available for purchase in July. If you are an existing SOLIDWORKS user or someone who is very familiar with SOLIDWORKS, you may wonder what are they and how are they different from SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD packages? With today’s post, I want to address these questions and help you learn a bit more about these roles. First it is important to know that 3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS has SOLIDWORKS CAD built at the heart of it.

SOLIDWORKS 2020 is here, and one of the coolest new features is the ability to open and view any SOLIDWORKS model in Virtual Reality (VR) using eDrawings 2020. I had the pleasure of sharing this great new functionality with some of our customers at a recent What’s New 2020 roll-out event in Lancaster, PA. With this great new functionality users can open and view native .SLDPRT and .SLDASM files, utilizing an HTC VIVE or HTC VIVE PRO to experience these files in Virtual Reality. Users at this

Note: This is part five of a five-part series on integrating next generation technologies into your design workflow. Click the links to read parts one, two, three, and four. Global manufacturing demand for both traditional as well as new technologies such as Additive Manufacturing (AM) is on the rise. Companies are accelerating their product lifecycle processes rapidly.
Engineers draw things because they want to figure them out, to visualize them in action. A new app for SOLIDWORKS is taking this idea literally, by allowing you to bring any hand sketch, on any piece of paper, into SOLIDWORKS. The app, called SOLIDNAPKIN, then turns your hand sketch into parts, and even assemblies. Jake Middleton, a SOLIDWORKS user for over 15 years and now CEO at SOLIDNAPKIN explains, “I’ve met hundreds of customers over the years, and often when a new product or idea is
Landscape Forms designs and builds beautiful site furniture and lighting, primarily for public spaces and college, corporate and health care campuses. In the early 2000s, Landscape Forms switched from 2D design tools to SOLIDWORKS design software and over the decade shortened design cycle time by 30 percent and reduced time to market by 15 to 20 percent. Landscape Forms has also leveraged SOLIDWORKS to bring its optical and electrical design in-house and enhanced its ability to design
Part One Part Two Part Three Part Four Part Five While we were at Nyanza Technical School, we met two graduates there: Kevin Shimwa and Sam Igor. Kevin and Sam have a bright future, and they want that future to include SOLIDWORKS. They helped students keep up with the lesson and instructed them where to click, which feature to use, etc. They were a huge help, and they voluntarily went to each school (over an hour away from their homes) by taking public transit each day on their own time and
Part One Part Two Part Three Part Four While in Rwanda, we met with the Rwanda Education Minister, and traveled each day with one of his employees, who introduced us to the school principal at each school we visited, and sat in the class along with the students, during each lesson. On the first day of our five-day training tour in 2019, on Monday, we went to the Integrated Polytechnic Regional College in Kicukiro. After meeting with the principal, we found 60 students enthusiastically waiting

Over that last several years we have seen manufacturing come to the forefront of a lot of discussions in the world of design. With the addition of tools like SOLIDWORKS CAM and DELMIAWORKS IQMS products, more and more companies are starting to bring manufacturing and prototyping closer to the design and simulation process. But how do these companies and users learn about new technology available today? Technology moves so fast, and it seems that there is a new process developed daily?
