10 Jan, 2011 by in NEWS, ROCKIN'

We’re just not going to let that “Kill SolidWorks” thing die… ahem. One comment from former SolidWorks CEO, Jeff Ray is all it takes for a firestorm to start whipping our sanity. What most people do not realize is that the is about creating a better product and providing some more options, not about violently poking a product with the sharp end of C++ stick while watching it bleed out.

Times are changing, and Develop3D has published a pivotal piece of industry insight that settles exactly that. It’s titled, The Death of SolidWorks? Yes, a question. A question that brings up other questions, but an article that puts a lot of the hype to rest, nails down the context and reveals what we should really be thinking about – the death of something much, MUCH bigger…

Now, that’s all well and good, but way too deep and serious for the likes of us. What we need are wallpapers. Dang big ones to put on our dang big screens that will make passer-by say, “DaaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAANG!” Here they are.

SolidWorks Wallpaper: 3D Product Design Goodness for Your Desktop

03 Jul, 2008 by in NEWS

I know what you’re going through. Every time you boot your computer the Windows ‘Bliss’ background, circa 2001, burns holes right through your retinas. You desire something with a little more snap. Maybe a cool looking product design. huh? yeah?

Then check out the SolidWorks World Wallpapers site. This isn’t new though. It was put up for the SolidWorks World 2008 iPod promo. But I figure it’s about time for a revisit and to give you a voice via the comments to let SolidWorks know what you think.

So, I bring it up for two reasons. One) to let you know about the site if you haven’t seen it and Two) to let the SolidWorks crew know that these backgrounds are pretty cool and they need to do some others. Forget software functionality. What the users really want is cool looking backgrounds for their desktop.

What product designs would you like see SolidWorks create some cool wallpapers of?
