Solidworks World 2018 Recap: Industrial Renaissance

Having spent 4 days in Los Angeles, Solidworks World 2018 ended on Wednesday. The event brought many users of Dassault Systèmes’ software, Solidworks, together. These range from companies in the virtual reality, CAD, augmented reality and 3D printing industries, eager to discover the latest Solidworks news. This was an opportunity for 3Dnatives to meet these innovators and learn more about their developments.

Solidworks World 2018 began with an introductory talk by Gian Pablo Bassi, Dassault Systèmes CEO, who presented the latest Solidworks news. He began by posing the question, “How can we support you towards the next industrial revolution?” According to him, the revolution is more an “industrial renaissance,” focused more on humans than machines. In this vein, several innovations were unveiled as ‘3DEXPERIENCE Social Collaboration Services,’ the 3DExperience Marketplace that links buyers and sellers on the xDesign solution.

Tomorrow will be the world of makers and innovators. We must go beyond digitization by involving the human: our 3DExperience platform does this, allowing communication between different communities.”
