3D Printing FDM Dec 12, 2024

Stratasys has announced an expanded, long-term partnership with NASCAR, becoming the exclusive provider of 3D printing solutions for the racing organization. NASCAR will now exclusively use Stratasys technology for creating parts and tools, replacing previously used systems. 

This article was created out of my need to clearly display the auto-alignment prompts for text and dimensions in SOLIDWORKS. This was a serious issue in drawings and parts when sharing screens or presenting in a classroom environment. The problem was that the default yellow color didn’t have enough contrast. In this tip, learn how to change the temporary colors for graphics and shaded previews in SOLIDWORKS.

Occasionally while troubleshooting, Technical Support will need event logs and system information files from your PC. Normally these are obtained through the user of the SOLIDWORKS Rx utility. Every now and then, the Rx does not obtain these files, or SOLIDWORKS is not installed on the system.

SOLIDWORKS Electrical Dec 04, 2024

There are some great new features and enhancements in SOLIDWORKS Electrical 2025. Let's make a 3D design change that starts with the 2D schematic and flows all the way to the drawing of the 3D assembly.

SIMULATION Dec 02, 2024

Are you a SOLIDWORKS user ready to jump into simulation and start doing static analysis? There used to only be one tool for the job: SOLIDWORKS Simulation. Now there is a second option: 3DEXPERIENCE Structural Designer. So which should you choose? In this article, we’ll compare and contrast so you can make the right choice.

SOLIDWORKS recently released an option to buy SOLIDWORKS online, bypassing the need to purchase through a value-added reseller (VAR), generating quite a bit of buzz. Despite the appeal, buying SOLIDWORKS directly from SOLIDWORKS isn't the best option for everyone. In most situations, it makes more sense to purchase SOLIDWORKS from a value-added reseller like GoEngineer. Here's why.

SOLIDWORKS Simulation 2025 brings some exciting new updates for your simulation needs. This article will explore new enhancements to the component selection tools for your analysis, bonding interactions, weld pin and spring connector options, and mesh improvements for assemblies.

3DEXPERIENCE Design Nov 21, 2024

When 3DEXPERIENCE users face connection issues while launching Design with SOLIDWORKS and SOLIDWORKS Connected, it is often due to a connection issue with the collaborative space. Common signs include blank login dialogs, blank MySession task pane, and specific error messages such as, ‘Unable to connect to 3DEXPERIENCE’ or ‘Failed to establish connection with 3DEXPERIENCE server.’ This article covers a few possible ways to resolve these connection issues.

SOLIDWORKS Visualize Nov 20, 2024

There are some great new quality and performance enhancements to SOLIDWORKS Visualize 2025. First, Visualize Boost now offers a more user-friendly interface that allows you to use multiple machines for your rendering tasks. With greater stability and machine discovery that has been made easier, you will now be able to set up an impressive rendering farm in no time at all.
