SolidWorks 2012 Technical Tour
May 16, 2012 -10:00am to 11:00am
This web-based demonstration is an introductory look at the full SolidWorks suite of products to show how easy it is to create parts, assemblies and drawings, simulate your design, control the entire design, and create technical documentation. You will see how to: quickly generate new designed parts to then assemble and generate detailed drawings, accurately track all your revisions and workflows, run simulation tools to test the design before costly material is cut, and generate technical documents for assembly instructions concurrently with the design avoiding delays at the end.

Using SolidWorks Plastics Premium to Optimize the Design of Plastic Parts and Molds
May 18, 2012 - 1:00pm to 2:00pm
Learn how to use SolidWorks Plastics Premium to help in the design and manufacture of plastic injection molded parts.  We will see how to determine if a part will fill, detect air traps, check for sink marks and weld lines.  When designing tooling it will help with runner design and layout in multi-cavity molds, runner balancing in multi-cavity molds with different parts, and predicting fill, and cooling times, and clamping forces needed.

HSMXpress: What Does FREE Get You?
June 12, 2012 - 1:00pm to 2:00pm
We keep getting asked 2 questions about HSMXpress. “Is it true that HSMWorks is giving their FULL 2 ½ axis mill package away for free?” And that is normally followed up with, “What do mean by FREE”. The answers are YES and no cost. Come take a look at what is included in the next generation of CAM HSMXpress. We will be covering everything from simple drilling and milling to the original 2D adaptive clearing routine. Does HSMXpress have a solid stock simulator? Again the answer is yes. Does HSMXpress have form tool support? Once again yes it does. Come take a look at what you can get for FREE and exactly what FREE gets you and why.
