設計における「共同作業」は、十分に吟味された高品質の製品を早く、効率的に市場に投入するための大きな鍵になっています。特に電子メールや顔を合わせた会議などは、既に、コストのかからない標準以下の情報共有手段となりつつあり、また、決してコストがかからないということでもありません。もっと良い方法を探す時がきたのではないでしょうか。 例えばクラウドサービスです。
Effectively collaborating with your key design stakeholders as well as suppliers and customers throughout the entire product development process is crucial to creating truly innovative new products your customers will love. Yet traditional means of collaboration, such as scheduling meetings, relying on emails, and working with remote teams, fall short and worse, can lead to miscommunications, delays, and frustration among team members.

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).
Hello to all, Welcome to the new edition of the SOLIDWORKS® Support Monthly News! This monthly news blog is co-authored by members of the SOLIDWORKS® Technical Support teams worldwide. Here is the list of topics covered in this month’s Blog : Adding watermark on the Drawing Sheet: Approach -1 Sheet Metal: Controlling the ‘Bend Radius’ of an imported solid body already in folded state 1. Adding watermark on the Drawing Sheet: Approach -1-by Tushar NAYAK We all have seen many companies across the
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
As a Mom of two boys, I have watched my fair share of baby sensory videos on YouTube, and they are super cute. So, I began to wonder how easy it would be to model and animate my very own mini sensory animation video. For part 1 of the tutorial, you will see how I used xShape to model a star, bring it into SOLIDWORKS Connected from the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform, and add moving eyes using a motion study. Stay tuned for part two of this tutorial, where I will be bringing in the star with motion study
The Alexandria SOLIDWORKS User Group has completed the first major SWUGN event of the 2024. Nearly 100 people took part in a full-day event that that included technical presentations, networking, and giveaways. They were even able to incorporate their culture, further connecting their members. Leader of this group, Mohamed Hussein, wrote a beautiful recap of this event with lots of great pictures.
Revision management involves tracking changes made to a product design throughout its lifecycle. Traditional revision schemes typically include alphanumeric codes such as A, B, C, and so on. However, as products become more complex and collaborative processes evolve, extended revision schemes become essential for providing a more nuanced and detailed approach to version control. We all know 3DEXPERIENCE Platform offers- Primary (A, B, C, etc) & Primary and Secondary (A.1, A.2, B.1, etc) revision
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.

Cosplay, the art of costume creation, has been revolutionized by the use of CAD and 3D printing. Talented makers like Carlos Reyes, known online as @Carlos3DPrint, are leading the way in this transformative world. Born in Mexico and residing in France, the story behind Carlos’s journey from tinkering with LEGOs and repairing appliances to becoming a renowned cosplay maker is inspiring. Carlos began his venture into cosplay in 2013 when he crafted a detailed Ironman armor out of cardboard with
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.
For this SOLIDWORKS tutorial I designed this wooden toy clock, if you want to follow along, the assembly for this tutorial is available to download here. You can watch the result of the animation from the beginning through the end of this tutorial. I began my assembly by lifting all of the number blocks out of the clock by 100mm, ready to create an exploded view. With this I selected each shape starting with number 1, and drag them down with the arrow to select the Y-axis for the move direction
Did you catch the design domain session at 3DEXPERIENCE World? If not, you’re in luck as I’m going to share some of the highlights from that session in this blog. If you did attend you may have heard SOLIDWORKS CEO Manish Kumar talk about two flavors of SOLIDWORKS, including SOLIDWORKS with the Platform and SOLIDWORKS on the Platform. SOLIDWORKS with the Platform is my main domain so you might have also caught me on the main stage for the design domain session breaking down what that means and

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
