Design Innovation Summit Presentations Now Available For Download - What's New In SOLIDWORKS 2016

Our annual Design Innovation Summit Series has come to a close.  The events were a huge success.  Thank you to everyone who took time to join us at a local event. And, a special thank you to our sponsors HP/Intel, Cimtronics Midwest, SOLIDWORKS, Stratasys, Miller Consulting, Access Manufacturing, and InFlow Technology.  Also, thank you to Andrew Lowe and DiMonte Group for presenting at the Hoffman Estates and Milwaukee events. We've made this year's presentations available to download by clicking the links below.

The CATI Design Innovation Summit is an interactive learning experience focused on helping you design and make better products. In order to get your products to market faster and streamline your product development process, it takes a comprehensive set of integrated tools that includes 3D design, simulation, data management, documentation, electrical design, and 3D Printing. At CATI, we provide these tools along with training and support.
