SolidWorks Labs
more than doubles its emerging technology offerings
Nearly 100,000 visitors
experimented with forward-looking tools and services in first year
CONCORD, Mass.,
Jan. 7, 2008 – SolidWorks Labs, the technology sandbox for curious
SolidWorks® 3D CAD software users, has more than doubled the number of free
experimental software offerings since its February 2007 launch.
SolidWorks Labs (http://labs.solidworks.com)
has welcomed nearly 100,000 visitors coming to experience, assess, and critique
the emerging technologies offered by SolidWorks Corporation’s research and development
division. SolidWorks Labs initially went online with four mini-applications.
In the ensuing year, it has more than doubled the offerings.
“The more applications, services,
and widgets Labs introduces, the more time I wish I could spend there experimenting,”
said Senior Mechanical Design Engineer Ricky Jordan of Dynetics Inc., Huntsville,
Ala. “It’s intriguing to see where 3D CAD software – or 3D in general – might
possibly go. CB Model Pro, for example, has great potential for conceptual design,
and ZoomIn can literally immerse your audience in your 3D model.”
New offerings include:
A SolidWorks Labs Gallery

to showcase the finest creations generated by SolidWorks Labs visitors using
the modeling and rendering tools on the site.
