Wins Popular Science Invention Award
Toronto snowmobile racer Shawn Watling was using cardboard, string, and stacks of paper to dial in his invention when a professional engineer buddy turned him on to SolidWorks® software. Since then, Watling has tripled his work speed and won the Popular Science Invention Award for a device that could turn his sport on its head.

at Maranatha Christian Academy (a close neighbor to Symmetry Solutions' new facility in Brooklyn Park), facilitated a project with about a dozen engineering students. The project involved designing a bridge to replace a bridge in desperate need of repair on the Superior Hiking Trail, where the students from Maranatha take regular hiking trips. Before the manual labor began, the students designed the bridge using SolidWorks. Tom Denecke, a local engineer, volunteered to help the students. The new bridge they designed was 36 feet long and 10 feet high. After completing the 3D design, they produced the 131 pieces for the bridge, and then assembled it in the school parking lot. The challenging part was then transporting the pieces, 4 hours by vehicle and nearly a mile on foot into the woods. It was definitely a group effort, and an exciting way for the students to learn firsthand how SolidWorks can help turn an idea into reality. The bridge that started as a design on a computer screen will be enjoyed by many hikers for years to come. 
Attend this webinar to learn about the tools and features in SolidWorks that can help you manage and work more productively with large assemblies. Topics will include best practices for modeling techniques to create faster performing parts, assembly structure organization, and creating configurations to facilitate quicker and easier access to components.
