WINTER MEETING 2015: We had a fun and informative meeting recently with about 15 people in attendance to hear our own Silas Curfman, of FSI Fabricators, and Michael Steeves, from Quest Integration, co-present their recent SolidWorks World 2015 presentation on a case study on the application of “SolidWorks Composer” titled: “Vector Magic with SOLIDWORKS Composer”.  We also had a fun slide show of the various happenings from SolidWorks World conference.  The evening was wrapped up with a look at a few different approaches to the SolidWorks World Model Mania contest including a demonstration of the Delete Face and Move Face commands as was demonstrated by Mark Schneider, from SolidWorks, at the conference.  Pizza and pop were served for dinner.
