People say that the best way to learn something is to teach somebody else. In the process of describing it, you break the subject down into its components andu begin to see the limits of your own understanding.

Hi,
In your recent article https://cadspeed.wordpress.com/2015/01/28/expert-interview-with-tony-glockler-of-solid-professor-on-continual-software-education/ you incorrectly spell SolidProfessor as two words... it should be one.

Would you mind correcting this?

Thank you,
Michelle

Software is not something you simply learn once and move on.

When 3D printing was first reported, the promises were endless. We'd all be making our own clothing, building our own vehicles, and generally running manufactures out of business worldwide. The realities have been a bit different -- technologies are still in rudimentary stages, and finding materials that lend well to printing certain items, like electronics and clothing, haven't quite been honed to perfection.

What if you could manufacture your own smartphones and wearable technology in your basement? What if drones and IoT (Internet of Things) connected devices didn't have to be manufactured in high-tech manufacturing facilities, but could be made in the family garage? Thanks to a newly developed plastic, these far-fetched scenarios could one day be realities.

While it might not be the most exciting development in the CAD world, Scott Sweeney says Reuse is the most important.

Solidworks 2015 has been out since September 2014, and the jury is in: developers managed to please users with a host of new features and improvements that make complicated tasks simple, fast, and more productive. The company was vocal about these "user driven" changes, and bloggers who have tried and reviewed the product are overwhelmingly positive about it. Here are the top changes for Solidworks 2015, but bear in mind, the changes and improvements are numerous and some are profound. Be sure to browse through the product guide so you'll be able to take advantage of all those new bells and whistles.

The big news for HSMWorks 2015 is its support for SolidWorks 2015, which was released in September of 2014. Since the Service Packs released frequently by HSMWorks are notably beefy, adding new features and improved functionality in between annual version releases, support for SolidWorks 2015 is the most notable update. However, version 2015 also has some other features and benefits to consider if it's time to upgrade your software.

While James Woodcock, Group Editor and Conference Director at TCT + Personalize, is passionate about the possibilities of 3D printing, he wants to make sure the hype surrounding the technology isn't overblown. It sets everyone up for a fall, he says.
