PONTIAC, MI, February 4, 2019 –
DASI Solutions is excited to announce that one of their senior Application Engineers, Quinton Rocke, has been selected to conduct a technical presentation at the upcoming SOLIDWORKS World conference. Attracting upwards of 5,000 engineers from around the globe, this year’s conference will be taking place in Dallas, Texas.
Quinton, a 16-year technical veteran inside the SOLIDWORKS Reseller Channel, was selected from hundreds of applications to present a technical breakout session for other 3D CAD professionals. As a member of the DASI Solutions technical team, Quinton has achieved the highest certification available through the SOLIDWORKS Professional Channel and is recognized as a certified SOLIDWORKS Expert. He has also been recognized as an Elite Application Engineer by the SOLIDWORKS organization.
His presentation will showcase eDrawings, a solution compatible with the SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD platform that is typically considered to be a quick viewing tool. Quinton will demonstrate how this product can be beneficial to the everyday designer, allowing the sharing of product design to be fast, reliable and convenient. Attendees will also learn how to enhance their use of their eDrawings software, transforming it from a quick viewing tool into a robust communication tool across multiple departments & organizations.
SOLIDWORKS World is the annual engineering convention that brings the best of the best within the SOLIDWORKS & engineering community together. It attracts SOLIDWORKS users, enthusiasts, resellers & supporters from all over the world. During the conference, attendees will have the opportunity to view demonstrations & product showcases, as well as participate in hands-on technical sessions to enhance their skills & get a first-look at emerging technology. The Partner Pavilion, also called the “hub” of the conference, is always one of the favorite happenings of the entire event. Designed like a mini tradeshow, attendees can walk about the exhibits (some interactive) to see new technology, tools & applications.
“I look forward to presenting on a global stage,” said Quinton. “It is humbling to know that my presentation may be viewed live by many talented SOLIDWORKS users from all over the world and online for years to come.”
