You all know the Playstation 4 (PS4) and the Xbox One are preparing to stock the shelves of many a store and the TV console of many a gaming fiend. With all the attention each new console systems has been receiving, the exclusive games for each and the updated box-tastic designs, the choice is becoming…
This week, a deep, thought-provoking poll that really matters. One that paws like a toothless rat against the marshmallowy film of time. Everybody knows drawing revisions are better represented as… what? Letters or numbers? How about letters and numbers? Should we even have a choice? Should 14 year old standards been thrown out with the…
It’s been a while since we’ve asked this. Plus, when I was talking to a friend about mixing cheese sauce with green paint and throwing it into a fan, he suddenly slapped me and mentioned this: “I’m currently using SolidWorks, NX, AutoCAD, TeamCenter, KeyShot, Shot, and Photoshop as my design arsenal.” I dropped the cheese…
There’s no doubt. Computing is changing. But, most of us still sit at our desks punchin’ keys with one hand while staying caffeinated with the other. So, what would happen if you could keep the caffeine and ditch the desk? The thing is, a lot of us need that workstation wallop to crank huge amounts…
Well now, I hear some of you are in the mood for a really broad question with a very broad and generalized set of choices. EXCELLENT, I say! We’ve got just the question. Today, we’re wondering what topics about 3D, design and any combination of the two, interest you the most. Why? Because there’s an…
My good friend, Jeff Mirisola, got a little riled up and started beating foam bats into the skull of asinine expectations with a recent post. He talks about an engineer who couldn’t use SolidWorks… because his computer was 10 years old. That is way old. I’d put it out to pasture and let it die…
Well, well, well, from the looks of the last poll, not too many people care about hardware/software upgrade plans. I agree… BORING. For me, a hardware upgrade consists of bottling pure rage (and my new hot sauce recipe) to throw a computer 200 feet into the air. So, while we’re on the topic of rage,…
OK, so the last poll revealed that no one cares if the OS goes away as long as our lovely apps work. Hoorah. But who cares about OS this or OS that when you can model up something sweet you’ve always wanted to, right? There’s the 3D modeling at your day job, but what if…
I know. You’re just screaming, “I work with the CAMERA. Striking a pose this way and that.” *whoosh, whoosh* I’m actually talking about how you model your 3D design in SolidWorks. Ah, now this post is suddenly boring. No tips to get that gritty engineer look on film, just stuff about drawing lines and extruding…
