3D CAD Software Education I have yet to be employed by a company that uses 3D CAD software such as SolidWorks, Solid Edge, Unigraphics or Catia. With little or no possiblity of learning any of these engineering tools, I am stuck in this antiquated situation. I am waiting for a course in SolidWorks. Can you help me find this type of education?

A quick look into the merger of two powerhouse 3D printing OEMs and the new leader in rapid prototyping solutions, Stratasys. The industrial revolution is now led by 3D printing and engineers are given the opportunity to fully maximize their design capabilities, reduce their time-to-market and functionally test prototypes cheaper, faster and easier. Bruce Bradshaw, Director of Marketing in North America, will explore the large product offering and variety of materials that will help CAD designers articulate their product design with actual, physical prototypes. This broadcast will dive deep into technical information including application specific stories from real world customers and their experiences with 3D printing. 3D Printing is
