SolidWorks Labs
gives engineering community a direct connection to SolidWorks Corporation
R&D
New Web destination
lets visitors play with functionality, experience innovation, and influence
product direction
NEW ORLEANS,
Feb. 5, 2007 – Why wait for the next product launch to find out what
SolidWorks R&D is doing? You shouldn’t. That’s why SolidWorks Corporation
today launched SolidWorks Labs, an online destination that lets product designers
behind the curtain of SolidWorks R&D. They can tinker with emerging technologies,
test-drive new SolidWorks functionality through their Web browser, and weigh
in on the company’s product direction.
At labs.solidworks.com,
visitors will find new offerings to communicate, share, and manage designs.
These offerings are available to SolidWorks and non-SolidWorks users alike.
For example, anyone with a browser and a CAD file can sample the power of COSMOS®
analysis software and perform basic design validation. Users can upload and
share their 2D files with colleagues online without resorting to e-mail, just
like the Internet’s most popular sharing sites. Users can download software
to search, organize, share, and manage all their DWG data, converting files
created by AutoCAD® software to any older or newer format for shareability.
They can also test drive SolidWorks’ new visualization experience for CAD.
SolidWorks CEO John McEleney today demonstrated
SolidWorks Labs from the stage here at the SolidWorks World 2007 International
User Conference and Exposition in the Morial Convention Center. At the close
of the session, conference attendees had immediate access to SolidWorks Labs.
The site is now public.
