Information behind Solidworks 3D printing

1. By Kaitlyn McAllister

2. In 1993 a man named Jon Hirschtick
He graduated from MIT and was part of a
program called MIT blackjack team and he used
1 million that he earned from that to start up this
business called Solid Works
Headquarters; Waltham Mass
First year to his the program to anyone was
1995

3. They use solidworks to make their ideas (2D) into
real life gagets (3D)
Based on Solid Modeling
Made to be an aid for manufacturing
If you want to see how a part is made in small little
sections you can draw each part in solidworks and
then 3D print them so you can see the little ins and
outs.

5. Supporting more than 3,246,750 product designers and
engineers.
They also represent 240,010 organizations.
About 33 High schools in Rhode Island teach Solidworks.
10 different countries use this program.
This Technology is used by many people
around the world, mostly by product
designers and engineers and also many
organizations depend on this program to
create what they needs
Some high school/middle schools and
colleges use it to teach.

7. This technology is helpful in many different
parts, you could use it just on the
manufacturing side just to look at parts,
you could use it to create objects that are
used to save people lives, for example
people have 3D printed arms and they
used Solidworks to create the models to
send to the 3D printer.
You can
purchase it from
a Solidworks
retailer.

9. Before Solidworks there was this program called
Computervision CADD 4 system.
This program was founded in 1969 by Marty Allen
and Philippe Villers.
Based in New Bedford Mass
Made first for 2D then later went to 3D
They wanted other types of computers other
than PC to be able to use this technology.
Before solidworks

10. They plan to expand the tools
they already give you so you
can produce more
For their simulations to become
even more real life

11. The main reason I choose this technology is because, I
did this all throughout the last three years of High
School and it became something I was really interested
in, to the point where I could go into one of my
teachers classes and help teach the students on how
to use this program.
