SOLIDWORKS CAD Apr 17, 2025

The GoEngineer Team has been busy this quarter, attending the top engineering and technology events in the country. From Houston for 3DEXPERIENCE World to RAPID + TCT in Detroit. Let us fill you in on the latest updates and hot topics from the conference center floor.

3D Printing Apr 16, 2025

You asked, Stratasys answered, with four new products! Stratasys hit the ground running at RAPID + TCT 2025 in Detroit, Michigan, with four powerful product releases, each serving as a direct response to user feedback on existing 3D printing limitations.

3DEXPERIENCE Design Apr 15, 2025

On the much-anticipated SOLIDWORKS Delivery Day, we got a rundown of the new features introduced in the latest functional delivery for 2025. If "functional delivery" is new to you, this is the cloud-enabled version of your typical "service pack" release. Enhancements like automatic drawing generation, updates to the user interface, improved file sharing options, and much more. Let's dive in and unpack the key takeaways for your benefit! 

SOLIDWORKS PDM Apr 10, 2025

When a file is retrieved from the SOLIDWORKS PDM file vault, a copy is placed in the local cache on the user’s local hard drive. To optimize disk space, users should regularly manage their cache and remove files that are no longer needed. This can be done through various methods, including removing local copies at check-in, clearing the local cache as needed, and configuring cache options to meet the needs of users and groups.

MANUFACTURING Apr 08, 2025

By combining The Logic Factory’s deep knowledge in supply chain optimization with GoEngineer’s cutting-edge design, engineering and manufacturing solutions, the partnership will help businesses streamline operations, enhance efficiency, and improve overall performance.

The 3DEXPERIENCE platform is Dassault Systèmes' tool that brings the entire engineering and manufacturing workflow from conception to obsolescence under a single umbrella. The objective of the platform is to make the 3D model the source of truth for anything someone at a company needs to know or do about the product. This means there is a closed loop for every stage of product development. Specifications, concept models, prototypes, simulation results, manufacturing data, and so on are all linked to the same product model.

To display her pottery at an upcoming exhibition, Matt's wife asked him to design and build custom oval tables that would be easy to assemble and transport between shows. Since he's have designed tables before, he had some ideas, so he opened SOLIDWORKS and got to work.

DriveWorks Apr 03, 2025

Documents are some of the most powerful features available in DriveWorks, greatly expanding the capabilities of your projects. With these documents, you can create an Excel file that contains your Bill of Materials, shipping labels, quotes to send to your customers, export data to a SQL database, and so much more. There are three types of Documents: Files, Data, and 3D Documents. Each corresponds to different pieces of functionality. 

CATIA Apr 02, 2025

The Systems Engineering community is enamored with MBSE, and rightfully so. Model-Based Systems Engineering provides a host of benefits over traditional Systems Engineering, but it can be difficult to capture the benefits in a way that people new to the subject can understand. This article captures the high-level benefits of MBSE without getting overly technical, allowing a fluid introduction to the topic. Most of the benefits commonly discussed surrounding MBSE are a product of the three pillars of Model-Based Systems Engineering: the modeling language, the modeling methodology, and the modeling tool.
