SolidWorks for Startups: Advancing Your Business - Lunch&Learn

LUNCH will be provided :)

Many startups and small businesses had access to SolidWorks and design tools for free during their university studies. However, once they graduate, they lose this access, and the software can't be used for commercial purposes. Startups and small businesses struggle to access advanced design tools like SolidWorks due to limited financial resources, hindering their ability to innovate, design, and bring products to market efficiently. This situation adds extra pressure to their company, especially during the critical early development stages.

If you're a startup developing a physical product and need 3D CAD tools to design and refine it, or if you already use CAD and want to expand your skills, we can help!

Join our SOLIDWORKS workshop to discover the free tools available through our startup program which allows early development tech companies to grow and succeed! We’ll cover the fundamentals of SOLIDWORKS, including sketching, modelling, assemblies, and drawing. You’ll also get an overview of Simulation and our rendering software, Visualize, and learn how to securely store files on our 3DExperience platform. Whether you’re new to SOLIDWORKS or have some experience, this session is perfect for anyone interested in accessing industry leading CAD tools!

In this session hear from Kevin Seyler who has over 25 years engineering experience, will discuss and show the following:

•Discover how the SOLIDWORKS for Startups program can reduce costs and provide access to essential design tools.

• Learn how SOLIDWORKS can be used for end-to-end product development, streamlining your design process from conception and design to testing and manufacturing.

• Explore advanced features like Simulation for testing and Visualize for rendering to create high-quality, market-ready products.

Also hear from Margaretha Samuels who will give a further understanding on how the SolidWorks for Startups program can help support and grow your business.
