Another SolidWorks employee that got to suffer through my attempt at being a journalist at SolidWorks World 2011 was Rick Chin, Director of Product Innovation. A Mechanical Engineer by education, Rick is another shining star in the SolidWorks Universe. He holds no less than five patents, has worked for McDonnell Douglas and Pratt & Whitney, …

Asheen Phansey – SolidWorks’ Sustainability Evangelist

Categories:
Asheen

During SolidWorks World 2011, I sat down with Asheen Phansey, Sustainability Product Manager of SolidWorks, to find out a bit more about him and what drives him. I’ve enjoyed giving Asheen a hard time about being a tree hugger, among other things, but all of it in jest. For one, I think sustainability is important. …

SolidWorks World 2011 Wrapup

SolidWorks World 2011 Day Deux

Categories:

Day two started early for me. Five-fricken-thirty in the morning early, and I don’t know why. Both mornings here I’ve woken up at 5:30 and, admittedly, that completely sucks. I’m getting off track though. After a breakfast that consisted of a triple 20 ounce mocha from Starbucks, some cold French toast and cantaloupe, I made …

SolidWorks World Day 1

Alex's Shirt

Wow. I don’t know that I can say anything more intelligent than that. It’s been a pretty incredible day today. I woke up way too early to start with. How early? Starbucks wasn’t even open. I had to wait for that to happen. Things started to pick up around 8:00 when we all started amassing …

Currently, I’m in a plane 37,000 feet above the ground on my way to SolidWorks World 2011. This will be my 6th time attending SWW, and I’m just as excited for this one as I was my first one in 2006. For me, it’s a reunion, a learning experience and a vacation all rolled up …

Annual Migration

Categories:

And so it begins, the annual migration of the Humanus SolidWorkus. These creatures, a subset of Humanus Geekus, come together once a year in a feeding frenzy known as SolidWorks World. They come from all over the world to gorge themselves on each other’s knowledge of SolidWorks. To the uninitiated, the sight of thousands of …

Have you ever been lying in bed and have a vision of the ultimate widget float through your mind? Next thing you know you’re up sketching out a rough design, refining it, smiling at the simplicity of something so ingenious. Then it hits you, you don’t have the means to get it to market. Well, …
