        Event Details

        The SOLIDWORKS Largest User Group Meeting Ever, or SLUGME, is an event where the SOLIDWORKS User Group Network gets together to see presentations from some of the best and brightest in our community. This is our 8th iteration of this annual epic event. SLUGME8 is all about Makers. During this broadcast we will design and build a project from start to finish, connecting the virtual to physical. We will once again be broadcasting live from our HQ in Waltham MA. Designers, builders, makers and more will help us to complete this build. In addition to live software use, you can expect to see wood fabrication, 3Dprinting, and many more maker manufacturing techniques. At the end of the show, we will release the dataset so you can complete the very same build on your own. Stay tuned for more details and don’t forget to set the reminder!
