Imagine for a moment – taking a sip of coffee, scalding your mouth, then slamming your fist upon the keyboard that sends your final SolidWorks generated 3D model to a 3D printer sitting right next to you.
The print heads go to work as your brand new 3D desktop printer creates a high-resolution, fully cured, resin model of your design.
Sound nice?
The Objet Alaris30 aims to introduce you to the reality of high quality, rapid-prototyped 3D models combined with an office sized network printer that’s clean, efficient and extremely accurate. Would you something like this?
If you try to connect with Certified SolidWorks Professionals (CSWP’s) on the SolidWorks website you may have a little trouble finding exactly where those SolidWorks specialists are hiding. Don’t worry, the link is still there.
From SolidWorks Certification, “We had to change it due to the request by many CSWP members to keep their information confidential and control whether they were displayed or not.” The following are the procedures to show yourself as well as search for CSWP’s.
I warned you. Tonight, October 15th, four uniquely qualified engineers will begin a series to entertain your analytical mind with mind controlled cars, space-age sleeping pods, giant robots and anything else that borders on cool and impossible.
Discovery Channel’s Prototype This! premiers TONIGHT. Not only will they be creating concepts that shock your senses, they’ll be using SolidWorks to design many of the components they’ll cut with their Tormach PCNC 1100. Here’s the details.
I know. It happened here as well. Five people and a large parrot fell over convulsing when they thought of the possibilities.
It’s one thing to use SolidWorks to turn your design and engineering department into a concept-crazy, model churning machine of product-cycle pleasure. It’s quite another to whip that interface into a tool that makes your modeling efforts spew forth profit from the hours save in design.
The difference will amaze you
It is weird… an interface has changed the way I work, and it happened nearly overnight. The difference is most noticeable when I transition back and forth between SolidWorks 2007 and SolidWorks 2009. Have you noticed that? If not, the new interface introduces some changes that may leave you wondering how to use these to optimize your modeling. Here’s what you need to know.
What do you get when you mix a Canadian, a laser, a web camera and a penguin sitting in a corner? The perfect ingredients for a show on how to build a laser scanner for $30.
Patrick Norton of Revision3 SYSTM TV take on Ben Eadie of SolidMentor to show you step-by-step how to build and use it to scan anything from a coin to a boat hull. Yeah, he reveals it all and even get in a plug for SolidWorks. Check out the video after the break.
