It’s not uncommon for parts to have many holes of different sizes and positions. Getting all of the dimensions and callouts onto a drawing can quickly turn into a cluttered mess of confusing numbers and symbols. This is where Hole Tables come in handy. Inserting a Hole Table in SOLIDWORKS will organize all this information automatically, in a clean table-based format that is easy to read and understand.

SOLIDWORKS Visualize supports high-resolution 4k displays. So, why isn’t your model showing in high resolution? Because of a simple Viewport setting—and it isn’t a setting in Windows. The Viewport is the preview of your project that you see when you’re working on it. By default, it’s set pretty small. This is to increase performance and load times, and it doesn’t affect your final export. It’s just there so you can see what you’re working on, and you can customize the size to your liking.
Standards. Every company has them to set an expected level of quality. In SOLIDWORKS, we create our models and drawings to ANSI, ISO, or other standards.

One of my favorite aspects of the Formlabs Fuse 1+ 30W SLS 3D printer is the design freedom that comes from using loose powder as a natural support structure. But once I’ve excavated my parts from a finished build, I’m left with a crucial question: what do I do with all the unsintered powder? Formlabs has designed the Fuse 1+ 30W to work with a mixture of fresh and reclaimed powder.
