Every year in the weeks leading up to SolidWorks World<\/a>, we give attendees a chance to learn about some of our Solution Partners attending the event and setting up booths in the Partner Pavilion. Our partners play a big role in making the event great every year, and they always come with some of the newest technology and tools that help make SolidWorks users more productive. Now through January 26, we\u2019re giving some of these partners a chance to let attendees know what they can expect\u2013in their own words. Today we hear from 3Dconnexion.<\/p>\n
