The Benin SOLIDWORKS User Group is hosting an in-person meetup titled “Talking SOLIDWORKS Over Dinner.” The event brings together engineering students, designers, and technology enthusiasts to explore how modern digital design tools support engineering and innovation.

During the session, Attendees will learn how SOLIDWORKS is used globally for product design, mechanical engineering, and 3D modeling to transform ideas into real machines and systems. The meetup will also introduce the global SOLIDWORKS community and how user groups help engineers collaborate, share knowledge, and grow professionally.

Attendees will discuss the basics of SOLIDWORKS, the importance of design thinking in modern engineering, and ways students can start building relevant technical skills early in their careers. The event will also highlight the vision of the Benin SOLIDWORKS User Group in building a local community where engineers and students can connect, learn, and support each other.

“Talking SOLIDWORKS Over Dinner” aims to create a relaxed environment for open conversation, networking, and idea sharing while strengthening the presence of the SOLIDWORKS User Group Network in Benin and connecting local engineers to the global engineering community.
