| Power Hour: Mating Shortcuts Creating assembly mates is something we do every day. Did you know there are a number of shortcuts to make this easier? Learn how to create mates via drag-and-drop, multi-selection, and even “pre-define” mate preferences for models. Create several mates at one time to a common reference, create mates as you copy components, and quickly see all the mates in your assembly organized by component or just for one selected component and it’s mated components. Plenty of tips to make you a SOLIDWORKS mating wizard! Intermediate level. | Jun 15, 2021 | 2:00pm CDT | 1 hour | Register |
| Art to Part - Lifecycle of a Part
This session follows a one-off part through design to 3D printing. Once it receives the go-ahead the part is given to the 3D printing team for prototyping and production using Markforged printers. This custom tool is sent through an in-house design and production process; see firsthand with this example how manufacturers are reducing tooling and fixturing lead times from weeks to hours, and costs by as much as 90%. After attending you will likely recognize one (or more!) areas your own workflows can be streamlined and improved with a few key tools. * The first 50 registrants to this webinar can receive a complimentary 3D printed soft jaw, which is featured in the presentation. If you'd like a soft jaw part send to you, please provide a mailing address upon registering. | Jun 17, 2021 | 10:30am CDT | 1 hour | Register |
