DS SolidWorks provides me with a non-commercial license of SolidWorks Premium. They have also invited me to press events and conferences, such as SolidWorks World, free of charge and, at times, they have also provided for accomodations, some meals and transportation. I don't, however, receive any payment for blogging or instructions on what I should write about. Everything that I post in this blog is my own opinion and does not reflect or represent in any way the ideas of DS SolidWorks.

A small collection of materials, tutorials and model files available for download. I hope to add many more to the list as the time goes by. Everything I put here will be from my own creation and completely free of cost to you.  Feel free to use anything here as a tool for learning. You are free to share it with a friend, a co-worker, or a group of students if you are a teacher. All I ask is that you acknowledge my work and not try to profit from it. Thanks!
