3D Design
There are numerous CAD tools to choose from these days and you may be wondering what type is the right one for your organization. In this article I will try to take a non-biased approach in comparing two industry giants (AutoCAD vs. SOLIDWORKS) diving into…
Using Insight stabilization features to successfully produce large-scale printed parts
At Javelin we are constantly searching for areas where additive manufacturing can supplement or replace current manufacturing solutions for our clients. One of the leading areas in which additive offers an edge over traditional manufacturing is in low volume production of large-scaled parts, this can…
Exceptional and repeatable coloration for toy design
In this use case, learn how Stratasys® VeroUltra™ materials helped to create accurate coloration for toy design and validation. Challenge From spray painting to hand painting, dry transfers, stickers and more, creating toy dolls with the right appearance for design validation was a manual multi-step…
In this use case example, learn how to use Stratasys® VeroUltra™ colour 3D printing materials to create a realistic, multi-material consumer product prototype. Challenge Traditionally, to achieve a multi-material appearance the designer needed to mix new colours for each part, paint and then mask multiple…
How do I design a chain in a SOLIDWORKS Part? This is a question we have been asked many times on technical support. Two methods of 3D modeling a SOLIDWORKS chain are described in this post, both of which use the “Curve Driven Pattern” feature….
There is one question we get asked time and time again. Can SOLIDWORKS handle Architectural Design? Yes, SOLIDWORKS has tools that can be applied to an architectural design process, and will give you more control over your architectural model: 2D-3D conversion 2D-3D conversion in SOLIDWORKS is…

Spartan CAD “attacks” 3D with the power of SOLIDWORKS and a partnership with Javelin
In the spring of 2012, engineer and entrepreneur David Janelle saw the future. Working on his own, with a couple of contracted engineers, David invested in three licenses of SOLIDWORKS. It was an ambitious move – he didn’t even have enough 3D design work to…
SolidWorks has been and still is an amazing design tool for any industry that has similar or repetitive design work but when some industry specific programming is done, it can be mind blowing how much time and effort can be saved. A project that we…
