Lunch & Learn: SOLIDWORKS Tips & Tricks and Virtual Manufacturing SOLUTIONS

Session 1: Understanding the SOLIDWORKS Virtual Manufacturing Solutions Portfolio

Presenter: Don Glaske, Director of Manufacturing, Software Solutions

BUILD | DESIGN | ANALYZE | SIMULATE

Improve floor space utilization to allow for an efficiency increase of your production systems by simulating products, processes, and resources to accurately predict and optimize production throughput in a virtual factory layout.

Why attend:

• Virtually test factory layouts and workcell designs to reduce trial-and-error
• Simulate robot paths and cycle times for more predictable operations
• Identify process conflicts and optimize throughput early
• Streamline collaboration between design, manufacturing, and automation teams

This session is designed for manufacturing engineers, mechanical engineers, and engineering leaders looking to accelerate production, reduce risk, and make smarter decisions using digital manufacturing tools.

Session 2: Smarter Updates, Faster Designs – SOLIDWORKS Tips & Tricks

Presenter: Cody Pendzich, Sr. Platform Applications Engineer, Software Solutions

Get ready to speed up your design process with practical, real-world tips and tricks. You’ll learn how to:

• Simplify design variations with configurations and equations
• Use shortcuts for faster assembly creation and editing
• Keep large models running smoothly with performance tweaks
• Apply clever time-saving techniques that make everyday work easier

Whether you’re a new user or a SOLIDWORKS veteran, you’ll walk away with strategies to work smarter, not harder. Don’t miss this dual-session event packed with insights to help you manage data more effectively and design faster with SOLIDWORKS.
