During uncertain economic times and limited travel budgets, it becomes challenging to keep abreast of the latest developments in both software and equipment technologies. They are ever-evolving. Recently I participated in a What’s New in NX 8 Tooling webinar presented by Siemens PLM—albeit not actively since I do not have and mold design experience! I was impressed at the webinar moderator’s level of experience and the way he presented the material. It was extremely hands-on and the participants gleaned valuable information on how to better do their jobs. Contact both your software and equipment providers to ask if they present webinars. You may be surprised at how willing they are to educate!
