"We are excited to sponsor this User Group. It is one of CATI’s goals to support the local SolidWorks User Groups so that there is an opportunity for the community to share knowledge and experiences in an arena directed by the users themselves, as opposed to simply being marketing events,” comments Richard Werneth, President, CATI. “This promises to be an amazing event and we look forward to working with the local user groups to make it happen.”
