At 3DEXPERIENCE World 2021, in the 3DEXPERIENCE Lab, we heard from Enrico Bassi, Fab Lab Director and Manager of the FabLab in Milan, sharing the story of Glifo. Glifo is a 3D printed custom aid that helps children with disabilities achieve autonomy in writing and drawing. OpenDot FabLab together with TOG Foundation recently launched a Kickstarter campaign to fund the new design of Glifo (lighter, smaller, easier to use), as well as the development of an online configurator that will enable anyone to personalize their own Glifo from home.

We took part in a project aimed at getting young people into digital, supported by The Pledge, Cheshire and Warrington. The event was called ‘Girls in Computing’ and the aim was to get more younger students, particularly girls, thinking about taking computing. We spent time with students from Ellesmere Port Catholic High School, teaching them about the variety of careers in digital.
Every year on Pancake Day we mix up some batter, buy lots of yummy toppings and have a lot of fun at lunch, making and eating pancakes! While this year we couldn’t be in the office the team still enjoyed pancakes at home – See how our pancakes turned out this year!
For the past 19 years the team at DriveWorks have attended SOLIDWORKS World. Last year we were excited to join World as it entered a new era – 3DEXPERIENCE World. This year 3DEXPERIENCE World was reimagined as an all-virtual event open to anyone around the world, for free! The three-day event was filled with inspiring keynote presentations, educational breakout sessions and virtual networking! With more than 35,000 attendees, this has been the biggest World ever!

We celebrate the individuals in the SWUGN community who go above and beyond as a SWUGN Leader with the annual DriveWorks Award for SWUGN Leader of the Year. This year the DriveWorks SWUGN Leader of the Year is Eric Beatty, Seattle Area SOLIDWORKS Power User Group! Congratulations to Eric, we’re truly lucky to have someone like you willing to go above and beyond for the SWUGN Community!
For the last 20 years, we’ve marked 1st February on the calendar as the official day when DriveWorks software first came to market. Since 2001, there’s been lots and lots of development, as we’ve worked hard to anticipate and respond to user suggestions, and to take advantage of new and emerging technologies. It adds up to making our celebration a celebration of continuous innovation and automation.
Sharing technical know-how and practical experience informally with each other is something we know many people using DriveWorks would like to do. We’ve decided to use technology to set up a new digital event to help you all connect more often and without the need to travel. We’re excited to introduce you to – DriveWorks Drivers.
