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: You Will Not Use SolidWorks on the Cloud

03 Feb, 2010 by Josh Mings in TECH


I know, the last post clearly stated (with images) that SolidWorks and your precious models would get sucked up into ‘the Cloud.’ So, while we’re all getting comfy with that idea, I’d like to destroy it. The concept of it. We won’t use SolidWorks (or any other program) on the cloud. We will simply use SolidWorks. Here’s why…
