SOLIDWORKS World 2015<\/span><\/strong><\/a> is\u00a0now less than three weeks away! Everyone here at SOLIDWORKS has been working diligently to bring attendees the best experience yet. Personally, I\u2019ve been involved with re-inventing an area of the show called Product Showcase this year. For those unfamiliar with what Product Showcase was in the past, it\u2019s been an area where we have displayed customer products designed in SOLIDWORKS for attendees to look at and enjoy. This has always been a really cool part of SOLIDWORKS World, but it\u2019s always felt a bit like an \u201cArt Museum\u201d; look but don\u2019t touch.<\/p>\n

This year however, we\u2019re taking a completely different approach. Think \u201cChildren\u2019s or Science Museum\u201d, where every product on display begs to be engaged with in some way. That\u2019s right, this year, every product in the Product Showcase at SOLIDWORKS World 2015 will have some sort of an interactive component to it. To give you an idea of what to expect, I wanted to take a look at three amazing products that we will be highlighting this year. In some cases, these products were not only designed in SOLIDWORKS, but they also work seamlessly with SOLIDWORKS, which provides a really unique experience to attendees.<\/p>\n

MakerBot\u00a03D Print Zone<\/h2>\n

\"Replicator\"<\/a>If you\u2019re reading this blog, chances are you already know who MakerBot<\/span><\/strong><\/a> is. \u00a0But just in case, MakeBbot has been changing the landscape of the 3D Printing Industry the last few years with their extremely low cost of entry 3D Printers. \u00a0The MakerBot Replicator is priced to be available to engineers and Makers everywhere to quickly create 3D Parts.<\/p>\n

Featured in the Product Showcase this year, MakerBot will have 3 of their 5th Generation Makerbot Replicators, designed in SOLIDWORKS. Attendees will be able to\u00a0quickly customize a luggage tag in SOLIDWORKS, and print it on the Replicator to attach to their luggage for the return trip home. So, if you\u2019ve never seen how easy it is to print directly from SOLIDWORKS 2015 to a 3D Printer using the new PrintTo3D functionality introduced in SOLIDWORKS this year, I highly recommend checking this space out.<\/p>\n

Parrot Drones<\/h2>\n

\"details\"<\/a>Just in case you were unaware, drones have become kind of a big deal lately. They range from everything from recreational toys, to high end photography tools.<\/p>\n

This year at the SOLIDWORKS World Product Showcase, we thought it would be fun to fly a Parrot Rolling Spider<\/span><\/strong><\/a> or drive one of Parrot\u2019s Jumping Sumo<\/span><\/strong><\/a> drones.<\/p>\n

But after thinking about it for a while, that didn\u2019t quite seem like enough. So we decided to take this interactive product display to a whole new level by creating an obstacle race course to challenge attendees flying and jumping skills!<\/p>\n

That\u2019s right, at SOLIDWORKS World\u2019s Product showcase, you can walk up to our enclosed Drone Course and pick, up an iPad and race and fly with other attendees with either the Parrot Minidrone Rolling Spider\u00a0through the skies, or the obstacles on the ground using the Parrot Minidrone Jumping Sumo!<\/p>\n

Normandy Guitars<\/h2>\n

\"Nomandy\"<\/a>Do you know how to\u00a0jam\u00a0out an amazing guitar riff? Ever wanted to try or even learn how to play guitar? Jim Normandy, the owner of Normandy Guitars<\/span><\/strong><\/a> is\u00a0hand-crafting\u00a0two custom guitars designed in SOLIDWORKS\u00a0for the SOLIDWORKS World Product Showcase this year.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re going to hook this beautiful\u00a0Alumicaster with \u201cGotoh\u201d tuners, Seymour Duncan \u201cQuarter Pounder\u201d pickups and solid brass, chrome plated \u201cheavy knurled\u201d knobs. Did I mentioned this thing is machined out of aircraft grade aluminum, yet weighs the same as a standard guitar? Plus, if the electric guitar isn\u2019t your thing, he\u2019s finishing a custom Bass as I write this.<\/p>\n

You an one other attendee will be able to learn and play guitar side by side using on a video game called Rocksmith that guides you through the process of teaching you to play the guitar style of your choice, and quickly learns what you already know, increasing in difficulty.<\/p>\n

As you can see, Product Showcase will offer an entirely different experience than ever before. And if you\u2019ve never experienced SOLIDWORKS World, there\u2019s still time to get there. SOLIDWORKS World 2015 takes place this year from February 8th \u2013 11th at the Phoenix Convention Center in Phoenix, AZ. \u00a0To learn more about the event, check out the link below.<\/p>\n
