SolidWorks World 2013 General Session Day 2 had two great examples of technology that will be eventually be used to take over the world.
Professor Vijay Kumar of the University of Pennsylvania was a great speaker that talked extensively about synchronized quadcopters that could also be used in search and rescue operations (or proletariat suppression missions). I was rather hoping that he’d order an armada of quadcopters to fly over the crowd…but no, he just showed Youtube videos.
Festo stole the show. They talked about bio mimicry. And then did this.
As a drafter, mechanical designer and CAD engineer, I've been in the mechanical design field since 1991.
For the first 8 years of my career, I was an AutoCAD professional. I utilized AutoLISP and many other AutoCAD customization features to streamline drafting activities for 6+ drafters and designers. I authored several custom functions, one of which was published in the March 1997 issue of Cadalyst Magazine.
Since 1998, I've been used SolidWorks non-stop. I've worked to utilize the SolidWorks' user environment to simplify drafting and design activities for 20+ engineers. I've created this website to provide current information about SolidWorks from a variety of contributors.
More recently, I am now employed by Dassault Systemes as SOLIDWORKS Sr. Product Definition Manager to improve drawing, annotation and MBD related areas.
