Maria, Glen and some of the DriveWorks Sales Team are in America. This post was originally from Maria’s blog. If you don’t already, follow Maria’s blog. It is a great way to get a behind the scenes view of DriveWorks – including birthdays, weddings and our time at events. Whilst the DriveWorks team are in the UK celebrating birthday’s and eating cake, I’m in America with Glen and some of the DriveWorks Sales Team. Glen and I are currently working out of the SOLIDWORKS head office in Boston, which is great because we’re catching up with familiar faces and meeting lots of new…

Thank you to all of our Resellers, Partners and Customers, for making DriveWorks 2015 Chicago such a great event.

DriveWorks 12 includes some great new features and enhancements. Delegates at DriveWorks World 2015 were the first to see the new features and enhancements in DriveWorks 12. The release caused a lot of excitement in the room and online as our CEO, Glen Smith, presented ‘What’s New in DriveWorks 12’. DriveWorks 12 includes enhancements and new features aimed at making DriveWorks Pro easier and more obvious to use. Adding new capabilities helps our customers to create a great online experience for their users and customers, as well as enhancing the design automation experience.

A rare and impressive sight. The DriveWorks team gathered outside to watch the rare phenomenon in which the sun is completely obscured by the moon. In some parts of the UK, up to 98% of the sun was covered by the moon. This is the first big eclipse to happen in the UK since 1996 and isn’t expected to happen again until 2026 so we didn’t want to miss it! Our product manager, Paul, set up his camera and managed to capture the eclipse brilliantly.

At DriveWorks, innovation is something we all share a passion for. As a team of people with such a diverse range of backgrounds, from engineering, product design and software development to events management and sales, we decided to bring together all of our talents for DriveWorks Design Club.

Hello from DriveWorks HQ to everyone at DriveWorks World 2015! Although we wish we could all be there, only some of the DriveWorks team are in Chicago, training keen engineers and revealing What’s New in DriveWorks 12. The rest of the team are at DriveWorks HQ back in the UK. We’re in Chicago in spirit though, sporting our DriveWorks World 2015 t-shirts! The t-shirts are so cool, we all had to have one! Share your DriveWorks World t-shirt photos with us using #DWW15

We’ve blogged a lot lately about the rapid speed in which 3D printing is innovating and how the possibilities seem relatively endless. 3D printing is not only innovating in huge, life-changing ways (like printing a functioning human heart) it is also attempting to solve everyday problems faced by a lot of people. Laura Griffiths, Editorial Assistant at TCT Magazine has recently blogged about OwnPhones and their campaign. They plan to raise $250,000 to start the development process of custom made, 3D printed earphones. The earphones will be tailored to each individual who can scan their own ears using a mobile app. This…

SOLIDWORKS World 2015 – our 12th year at SWW. Members of the DriveWorks Team go to SOLIDWORKS World each year.
