Avatech Solutions Presents Free Autodesk Inventor Workshops in 14 Cities

Mechanical Engineers and Designers Invited to “Get Your Geek On” at ½-Day Introductory Workshops

BALTIMORE, MARYLAND – Feb 1, 2006 – Avatech Solutions, Inc. (OTCBB: AVSO.OB), the recognized leader in design and engineering technology for the manufacturing, building design and engineering markets, invites mechanical design professionals to participate in free introductory morning workshops using real-world design projects. Attendees will work on moving 2D geometry-based objects over to 3D models using the latest Autodesk Inventor software. Avatech will host sessions at their state of the art computer training labs in 14 cities.

“These workshops are a great opportunity for 2D CAD users to get their first hands-on experience with 3D mechanical design”, said Scott Hale, Mechanical Solutions Manager at Avatech. “Moving to 3D produces better designs and reduces workloads—and many mechanical engineers consider it a top priority for 2006.”
Attendees will receive a special complimentary 30-day trial copy of Autodesk Inventor Professional 10 which they can test drive in their own work environment. This includes free tutorials and a workbook, so that participants can continue learning on their own after the introductory workshop.
