Enabling remote access to design data is a must for every business, especially today. Now, you can connect your SOLIDWORKS data to the cloud and securely access it, along with additional design, simulation, manufacturing, and management tools, from anywhere with a browser. Get the facts on getting your SOLIDWORKS data connected today.
In the following on-demand webinar, TriMech Technical Manager and Elite Application Engineer, Matt Kokoski, discusses how the Collaborative Designer for SOLIDWORKS and the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform can co-exist to improve your design process. SOLIDWORKS has become a popular choice for organizations when choosing an engineering content authoring tool, but when paired with 3DEXPERIENCE, you are increasing your ability for easy access as well as the ability to leverage your data for design, simulation, manufacturing and governance. He teaches you how they make the perfect pair to help you easily grow your business.
