SLUGME (The SOLIDWORKS Largest User Group Meeting Ever) has become one of the cornerstone yearly events for the SOLIDWORKS community. The premise of this event is to use our software tools to design something truly epic and then physically build the design live on the SOLIDWORKS YouTube Channel. This is an event that teaches thousands of viewers advanced design and building methods. RSVP for this event so you can stay up to date and make sure to set your reminder on the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/live/qk7OLxVU4cQ?si=iGe73BX0Agl-rV2-" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">YouTube Livestream here. </a>For the tenth installment of this legendary event, we’re going bigger and bolder than ever before.Join the live stream as our team uses state-of-the-art tools to model and build something totally prehistoric. From concept to creation, we’ll unleash an arsenal of modern fabrication methods — including 3D printing, CNC-cut foam molds, welding, advanced surface prep, and automotive-grade paintwork — to bring this BEAST to life.🔥 Don’t miss this one.
