We’re proud to announce that the first ever 3DVIA Composer User Group meeting was an astounding success!

Braving the cold and snow of the Minnesota winter, a broad mix of CAD engineers, engineering managers, and technical writers gathered in Minneapolis to share ideas and become more productive using 3DVIA Composer.

The day’s speaker roster included 3DVIA’s own Tod Cruikshank (the famed creator of the “TodCast”), who presented a collection of tips and tricks for streamlining content creation in 3DVIA Composer. Also speaking were Earl Hasz from SolidWorks and Mat Sauer of MTS Systems Corp.

It’s good to point out that this event was purely focused on sharing information to help make users more productive – and not trying to sell (software, timeshare, used cars, etc). This allowed the attendees to settle in and focus on the most important stuff, namely learning, networking, and sharing experiences.

I’m also happy to report that the good folks over at SolidWorks are helping to expand the 3DVIA Composer User Group network by supporting it inside the SolidWorks User Group Network. This means that if you’re interested in starting up a 3DVIA Composer User Group in your area, you can jump on the SWUGN website and learn how easy it is.  If you’re not a SolidWorks user, rest assured because the user group network is open to ALL users, regardless of what CAD platform you use!

We’ll be sure to keep you informed as the 3DVIA Composer User Groups continue to expand.
