Bring your 3D Vision for Mechanical Engineering into focus
At Alignex, we coined the term “The 3D Aftereffect” to refer to several opportunities for improved product development beyond just using a 3D CAD tool. Examples include integrated PDM, Design Validation, CAM, Illustrating Technical Publications and Design Automation (product configurators inside the 3D system). Many companies have adopted 3D, but very few are taking full advantage of “The 3D Aftereffect”. But it is the Aftereffect that can allow your organization to significantly outpace your competition.
This event is designed for all current 3D CAD users regardless of your current design software. Obviously, if you already own SolidWorks you’ll want to attend this event to learn how to get more out of your existing engineering too, but if you are currently using Pro/e, Inventor, SolidEdge, Cadkey or CoCreate, you will get to see functionality that has not been available to you or is very expensive and difficult to deploy.
The event starts with your choice of a thorough SolidWorks Office Premium demonstration, including integrated design validation or an actual SolidWorks Hands-On Test Drive (seating limited). After a quick break for a free lunch, you will be able to choose from several different 1-hour technical presentations on various “Aftereffect” topics. You can stay for as many or as few presentations as you wish.
Read on to review the subjects that will be presented below to learn more about that Technical Session. When you register, please indicate the technical sessions you wish to attend.
 The Latest in 3D Modeling Tools - SolidWorks Office Premium
Discover how using SolidWorks® 2008 3D CAD software can help you design better products, faster. Watch a demonstration of compelling 2D and 3D productivity enhancements, including special tools for designers of machinery, consumer products, and sheet metal.

 Design Integrated CAM - SolidCAM
With the single-window integration of SolidCAM inside SolidWorks, all machining operations can be defined, calculated and verified without leaving the parametric SolidWorks assembly environment. See how all 2D and 3D geometries used for machining are fully associative to the SolidWorks design model.

 3D Documentation Tools - 3DVia
Developing new products is only part of the job. Products require documentation for user manuals, marketing materials and service documentation. 3DVia can help you display 3D modeling data in a format that can be used in many publication applications. The best part is, these displays are associative back to the 3D models, so any changes that are made can be automatically recognized in the documentation. Best of all, 3DVia can open many 3D CAD formats so any organization can get started right away.

 Product Data Management - PDMWorks Enterprise
The key elements of any PDM solutions include the following:
1. Ability to Search previous design elements quickly for re-use
2. Revision Control to easily organize changes and manage new ideas
3. Powerful Workflow(ECO/ECR) tools to allow for Collaboration and Concurrent Engineering

 Design Automation - DriveWorks
If your company designs many products that are "same as, but different" then Design Automation can save your engineers a great deal of time by producing variations on a standard design automatically.
Learn about these powerful technologies in a single day, 6-hour showcase. In an Open House format, you can attend as many of our Technical Sessions as you like. Experts in these areas will present ways in which these technologies can help your organization manufacture products better, faster and cheaper. Come and see our revolutionary products, all of which Alignex represents directly. Connect with the enthusiastic SolidWorks Community and discover for yourself how Alignex is helping solve manufacturing problems throughout the Upper Midwest.
To register for this event, please use the link to the right or click on the subject matter that interests you for more information. Directions and final confirmation will follow about one week before the event. Space is limited, so we urge you to reserve a seat at this FREE event which includes lunch. We look forward to seeing you!
