Imagine if engineering students could share information about their projects and collaborate with their professors and each other. Imagine if student teams use project planning and product life cycle management tools to understand skills required by future employers. Imagine if faculty and students, with innovative ideas, can build prototypes in an incubator space and become a start-up. 3DEXPERIENCE Platform Changing How Educators Teach and Students Learn You do not have to imagine.
Are you a student or graduate looking for a job in Design or Manufacturing? Or an instructor preparing your class for these industries? It’s no secret that companies hiring for roles in these areas are looking for new talent with Additive Manufacturing experience, as there is traditionally less formal training available to those already in industry. What’s the biggest driver of hiring people with these skills?
Student Teams work all year long to prepare for grueling competitions. Designs are perfected over years for the ultimate machine. Long before the students take to the track, they design, analyze, and then re-design/re-test their components and vehicles. I was fortunate to interview TEAM Eta, a Shell Eco Marathon team from Somaiya Vidyavihar University (SVU), in Mumbai, India.
3DEXPERIENCE World is the best event to learn more about SOLIDWORKS, explore new technology, and get inspired by our community of designers, engineers, educators and students. For 17 years, I went to SOLIDWORKS World, as a customer, user group leader, partner, educator, and employee. This is my first 3DEXPERIENCE World to learn more about SOLIDWORKS, more about cloud-based software applications (Apps), and have fun with our growing community. With my teammates, we just call it “World”.
Hover Bike Entry xChallenge by Kunal Jain & FRC 5422 Stormgears using 3DEXPERIENCE Platform & SOLIDWORKS xDesign app. My 2020 New Year’s Resolution is to learn how the 3DEXPERIENCE cloud-based business platform will help educators, students, and researchers share new ideas, collaborate on projects, and connect the product development process from design, through manufacturing to delivery.

SOLIDWORKS World 2019 had a feast of techy delights for the attendees to peruse. One of the biggest draws was at the Sindoh booth, where Stefan Ulrich stood. Over and over again, he watched people take photos and say, “Oh man, my [son/husband/wife/etc]
The Clarity Case by Mous Most students dream of jobs that will utilize their talents to the fullest. SOLIDWORKS Education Edition 2019-2020 helps students achieve those goals, no matter the ups and downs. Josh Shires, CTO of Mous, started his student journey with SOLIDWORKS and used the software to build his company from the ground up. He and his small startup faced many setbacks, including being forced to completely rethink and redesign their original product.
In the SOLIDWORKS community, we are fortunate to meet talented innovators that are making a difference in people’s lives. Many volunteer their time with organizations that do good for others. Last month, I was fortunate to learn about Remap.org.uk that designs and builds equipment to help people live more independently. My friend Sam Cullen from our VAR Solid Solutions UK introduced me to one such innovator, Henry Kirby.

These startups have access to a state-of-the-art Fab Lab with mentorship and support from Dassault Systemes (DS) community.
Before SPEE3D, metal 3D printing had a historical problem of being both too slow and too expensive. Today, the industry has dramatically changed due to SPEE3D’s new process known as supersonic 3D deposition (SP3D). The company is focused on making manufacturing easier by providing the freedom and flexibility to build parts at a cost and speed suitable for the field. SPEE3D is an expert on manufacturing aluminum and copper parts and their world first, industrial 3D printer allows manufacturers to
Designers, Makers, Engineers, Parents and Kids, they were all at the Maker Faire 2017 NYC this weekend! Kids of all ages got to try out SOLIDWORKS Apps For Kids, Through workshops, coloring activities, and hands-on practice, kids quickly designed their models using Shape It, Style It, Print It software applications and collected 3D Printed charms and assembled 2D printed cubes. T Thank you FIRST Robotics teams, FRC, FTC, for stopping by to say hello and showing us your robots and SOLIDWORKS

Over a billion people worldwide suffer from poor vision because they do not have the eyeglasses they need. While there are affordable eyeglasses that can be bought for less than $4, there are not enough eye care professionals to prescribe eyeglasses. PlenOptika created QuickSee to increase the throughput of optometrists, allowing them to prescribe more eyeglasses and make more money. QuickSee is an innovative, handheld auto-refractor that provides highly accurate measurements at the push of a
Born from over a year of dedicated research and personal experiences, Joulez empowers tween girls to enter the fields of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). Joulez incorporates four key elements into its approach: identity, vocabulary, skills and tribe. They believe that each of these four areas must be addressed to engage girls in STEM over the long term. Founder and CEO of Joulez, Stephanie Rowe, has spent her whole career in STEM surrounded by mostly male coworkers.
Dereck Sanchez, a rising junior in high school, has been working with his team, R4 Robotics, for all of seven years now; but the most impressive part is that he’s only seventeen years old. His team joins many BEST Robotics competitions every year, which last approximately six weeks long each. At the age of eleven, he started learning SOLIDWORKS so his team could brainstorm what they wanted the robot to look like before they would actually start creating it.
SkyX takes data acquisition to the next level with its SkyOne drone. SkyOne uses a long-range aerial solution for infrastructure monitoring. This could include anything from oil and gas pipelines to hydroelectric lines or even railroads. SkyOne’s VTOL ability means it can take off and land from virtually any location without a runway, pneumatic launcher, net, or other infrastructure.
BOLT Sports is revolutionizing tennis rackets. Normal rackets are designed to flex as a way to absorb the ball’s impact energy and control the ball’s rebound speed. A stiff frame however is powerful, so the balance of control and power is always a compromise between the two. Now, BOLT has shifted the control of the ball’s rebound speed away from the frame and into a patented design called a Zipstrip – Power and control are achieved together, no compromise!
WiBotic has commercialized technology developed at The University of Washington to deliver wireless power and battery intelligence solutions for autonomous robots. These fully autonomous robots are able to navigate and “think” for themselves; but, there is a problem.
