What’s New in SOLIDWORKS & 3DEXPERIENCE Works 2024
Learn all about the new features and enhancements coming in SOLIDWORKS 2024, along with the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform enhancements relevant to SOLIDWORKS users! Collectively known as 3DEXPERIENCE Works, we’ll show what’s new in SOLIDWORKS and related traditional desktop applications, along with the NEW Cloud Services that can make your life so much easier.
Large Assembly Management in SOLIDWORKS
When it comes to large assemblies, there are lots of tools and techniques in SOLIDWORKS that can make your design experience better; some of these are relatively new in SOLIDWORKS, and some have been around for a while. The question is, what are these options and how are they best applied? This session will take you through practical examples of different large assembly situations and how you can tackle them with greater ease and efficiency.
Setting Up and Using Cloud Services
So now that you’ve got Cloud Services for SOLIDWORKS, what’s next? In this session, we’ll take you through the initial setup to get going with the new “Share A File” functionality in SOLIDWORKS 2024 and the available cloud-based data management. If you’re looking to know a little more about Cloud Services ahead of getting them yourself, this is also a good session to attend.
Production-grade 3d printing with markforged
See the latest advancements in industrial strength additive manufacturing. Learn how and why Markforged 3D printing can help your design and manufacturing process, leading to significant time and cost savings in your supply chain, along with improved risk mitigation in prototyping and manufacturing parts.
