SolidWorks Partner Profile: Advanced Micro Devices (AMD)

Leading up to SolidWorks World 2011, we posted a series of blog entries spotlighting some of our SolidWorks Solution Partners. A lot of you told me that you found these interesting, so we're trying to post more of them as we can. Today, we have a feature on a partner many of you probably know–AMD.

Trip report: my SolidWorks User Group tour

Trip report: my SolidWorks User Group tour

As you may recall from my earlier post, I spent the week of May 23 driving through the southeastern US with SolidWorks User Group Network coordinator Richard Doyle, attending user group meetings and visiting customers. It is always exciting to get out of the office and meet with SolidWorks users, and I learn something new every time. Rather than give you a day-by-day retelling of my trip, I thought I would talk about some of the highlights.

Each of the user group meetings was different and enlightening in different ways. The first meeting was in Atlanta, Georgia, and was held at the Quickparts headquarters. The second meeting in Greenville, South Carolina, was held at Clemson University. At this meeting, several resellers set up a display of 3D printers for the 70 attendees to demo, and SolidWorks customer Redneck Engineering brought out a few custom choppers. Here’s a picture of me sitting on one of them along with Vince “Nobody” Doll, who runs the company.
