TECH TIPS & RESOURCES
Direct Editing with Child Recognition:
SolidWorks 2010 allows you the ability to directly edit parametric solids not native to SolidWorks. Direct editing will now import child features. Just select on the feature and edit. FeatureWorks will then recognize the feature and the child features, allowing you to edit as desired.

 
Hole Wizard Headaches:
Remember the days of having to select a face first when using the Hole Wizard. No longer is that the case. In SolidWorks 2010 the Hole Wizard is smart enough to know if you want a 3D sketch or when you select the face it will us a 2D sketch. Take a look into your available standards too, notice Australian Standard (AS) is now available as well.

Technical Resource Document - SolidWorks Rx:
SolidWorks Rx is a troubleshooting tool that SolidWorks includes to give you first-pass, diagnostic information about your SolidWorks usage. For complete instructions - visit our technical resources page:

PRODUCT OFFERINGS

TriMech can assist in turning your old CAD drawings into SolidWorks Models:

Wouldn’t it be nice to have your company’s product line converted to 3D so you can reuse or bring older parts into your PDM system. Many of our clients focus on new product design in 3D after the purchase of SolidWorks, but what about the designs and file libraries prior to implementing SolidWorks? Now you can have that done for you - contact your account manager to learn more: sales@trimech.com

New Partnership!
TriMech now offers Fortus 3D Production System Printers by Stratasys


Learn more about how Fortus 3D Production Systems uses Stratasys FDM® (fused deposition modeling) technology and real engineering thermoplastics to build the most accurate, durable parts of any additive fabrication system.
Contact TriMech for more information and be one of the first to schedule a demonstration.
