Al will provide an overview of some of the terminology, the tools available, some techniques used in surfacing, and useful examples of how using surfaces can be useful when combined with solid bodies
7:00: Break
7:15: Aaron Torberg (Idexx and adjunct SW instructor at YCCC) will present on associating Dropbox with SolidWorks. This was an idea that came up in our October meeting and Aaron has some ideas he’d like to explore and share with us on ways that Dropbox may be utilized with SolidWorks and how it may prove useful when PDM isn’t an option
