SUMMARY:Intro To Resin Printing
DESCRIPTION:Introductory course on basic safety and operation of resin 3D printing equipment at Mill Forge Makerspace.

Due to the time required to print\, attendees will be able to retrieve their printed model the next day. \n\n\n\nAppropriate attire required: \n\n\n\n\nClosed-toe shoes\n\n\n\nNo loose clothing\, jewelry\, or accessories\n\n\n\nLong hair tied back/up or securely covered (e.g.\, under a well-fitting hat)\n\n\n\nFull seal eye protection (goggles or face shield)\n\n\n\nHalf mask respirator\, face shield respirator\, or PAPR hood with organic vapor cartridges\n\n\n\nPPE will be provided\, but we ask you to supply your own if possible.\n\n\n\n\nAttendees should bring a laptop computer if they are able. A limited number of computers are available for attendees who cannot bring one. The software for the class is supported on Mac and Windows\, and Linux. NOTE: Tablets (e.g.\, iPads) are not able to run all of the necessary software. \n\n\n\nWARNING: In this class we will be working with chemicals that can cause serious harm such as photo polymer resin and 99% isopropyl alcohol. If you know of any allergies and or reactions caused by either of these chemicals or specific concerns about working with them\, please let us know in advance. \n\n\n\nSafety Information Links: \n\n\n\n\nMaterial safety data sheet for photo polymer resin\n\n\n\nMaterial safety data sheet for isopropyl alcohol

SUMMARY:Boston SolidWorks User Group - December 2025
DESCRIPTION:The Boston SOLIDWORKS User Group (SWUG) is operated completely by volunteers with the aim of promoting the sharing of skills and information related to the use of SOLIDWORKS and to create a forum for networking within the design and engineering community. \n\n\n\nSmarter Design for Maker Projects — Top-Down Assemblies & Multibody MagicJay Pinheiro\, GoEngineer \n\n\n\nWhether you’re building props\, robotics\, furniture\, or any weekend passion project\, SolidWorks has some seriously powerful tools to help you design smarter and prototype faster. This session dives into how makers can use top-down assembly techniques and multibody part workflows to keep complex builds organized\, flexible\, and easy to update when inspiration strikes (or reality intervenes). \n\n\n\nYou’ll learn: \n\n\n\n\nHow to drive multiple parts from a single master part\, sketch\, or assembly for quick\, parametric updates\n\n\n\nTechniques for creating full assemblies inside one part file using multibody methods\n\n\n\nWhen to choose top-down vs. multibody (and how not to accidentally scramble everything)\n\n\n\nPractical examples pulled from real-world maker builds like props\, enclosures\, and mechanical linkages\n\n\n\n\nJUST ADDED! \n\n\n\nCombining Subdivision (Sub-D) Surfacing and Parametric ModelingCraig Therrien\, Senior Product Manager at Dassault Systèmes \n\n\n\nWant the best of both worlds? This session dives into how subdivision surfacing and classic parametric modeling can work together to create stylized\, ergonomic designs—fast. You’ll get an overview\, a live demo\, and practical tips for blending the two approaches in your own workflow. If you’ve ever wanted to model curvy organic shapes for anything from flight controls to cosplay armor\, this is the one for you. \n\n\n\nThe group is free and open to anyone with an interest in expanding their knowledge of SOLIDWORKS and related technologies utilized in design & engineering fields. \n\n\n\nOur goal is to create an atmosphere for relaxed professional networking – our events are very casual and we encourage members to share their work experiences. \n\n\n\nYou need not be a current SOLIDWORKS customer\, and membership is free of charge! \n\n\n\nBostonSWUG is part of the SOLIDWORKS User Group Network which consists of dozens of groups and thousands of users across 25 countries. \n\n\n\nRefreshments will be served.
