| Thirty years ago, the world of product design was radically changed when SOLIDWORKS launched the first professional-grade 3D CAD tool built natively for the Windows operating system. Computer-aided design (CAD), once the domain of expensive, UNIX-based workstations, would now be available to every engineer. This event democratized design, making powerful 3D modeling accessible, affordable, and user-friendly. As we celebrate this three-decade milestone, we reflect on the journey, the key innovations that defined it, and the future of product development. 
 
  
 Join us for the SOLIDWORKS 30th Anniversary Virtual Celebration on Wednesday, November 5th, at 3 PM EST. This milestone event brings together the global SOLIDWORKS community to honor three decades of advancing design and engineering, while also looking ahead to future possibilities.
