7:30 – 8:30: SolidWorks and PhotoWorks Presentation
By: Rob Rodriguez President: Northern Vermont SolidWorks
User Group

Rob Rodriguez will talk about how he uses SolidWorks at Rock of Ages
and Axis CAD Solutions complete projects of all kinds. Rob will
expose SolidWorks users to another less utilized portion of the
software, PhotoWorks. He'll show examples of how PhotoWorks is used
to turn ordinary SolidWorks models into sales tools. One of the
greatest aspects of 3D modeling is visualization. PhotoWorks allows
you to take the model a step further and realistically show a design
that doesn't exist.
