Submit a SolidWorks World 2012 Image. Win Awesome Stuff. #SWW12

11 Feb, 2012 by Josh Mings in NEWS, SOLIDSMACK NEWS
3D Human CAD Models

SolidSmack and SolidBox are bringing you the SolidWorks World 2012 goodness this year. We’ll be on site with cords and cameras we’ve unnecessarily hacked into our ocular cavities to scare off any would-be event security. We’ll be keeping those camera eyes open for anything that may be of interested or mildly offensive, covering the General Sessions LIVE right here and via Twitter, and bringing you news of any surprising, or otherwise industry altering technology coming out.

There’s probably a few things you want to see as well, yes? New Tech? New Software? Pictures of people in uncomfortable situations? If so, suggest an image via the comments! or submit one if you’re at SolidWorks World! We’ll pick a couple winners with one receiving a one month free membership to cadjunkie premium and the other snagging a snazzy 100% cotton Engineer vs Designer t-shirt.

SolidWorks World 2010… Whatcha Wanna Know?

28 Jan, 2010 by Josh Mings in NEWS

SolidWorks World 2010 is over… I jest, it actually hasn’t started, but a week from now at this time, it will be over and I, along with many others, will be dragging blistered feet from an Anaheim, California hotel bed to shed the light we gleaned from SolidWorks World on our friends, family and supermarket clerks.

There is some juicy news I’m thinking we’ll here about and some we will definitely be covering. So, what is it you wanna know? Here are a few possible topics and some things in general to be on the look out for.

Autodesk University 2009 Quick Fact, Photo Smack-up #AU2009

02 Dec, 2009 by Josh Mings in NEWS

You know when you’re walking in the park and a pigeon flies straight into your face? Autodesk University is not like that at all. It’s actually rather like a flock of pigeons flying into your face, without the pain… or trauma, which just so happen to be filled with everything you’ve ever wanted to know about Autodesk and their horde of products.

Scary pigeons huh. And like a crazy flock of cooing foul we’re gonna fly right into your face with some quick Autodesk University related happenings.

If you’re at AU2009 and use an Autodesk product, your brain is likely getting slammed in new ways you don’t want to tell your family about. If you’re not here and wondering what AU is all about, this will give you a small sense of what’s going on.

3 servings of Autodesk University (with side order of Las Vegas) Comin’ Right Up.

23 Nov, 2009 by Josh Mings in NEWS

In one week we’ll be smackin’ ourselves (and you) with some Autodesk University coverage. Why would we do that? Well…for good reason party people. 1) product dev tech 2) Las Vegas 3) ponies 4) they invited us. We’re probably excited. In fact, we’ll probably give some awkward high-fives to people we hardly know.

What else is in store? I have no idea actually, but based on my goal of running through crowded areas with my eyes closed and camera flashing, there’s bound to be some mildly interesting blurriness caught.

Here’s the buzz we’ll be lookin’ for and some details on the conference if you happen to be going along.
