Recently, one of our SolidWorks Education customers was featured in a local news story. Steve Higley, engineering teacher at Maranatha Christian Academy (a close neighbor to Symmetry Solutions’ new facility in Brooklyn Park), facilitated a project with about a dozen engineering students. The project involved designing a bridge to replace a bridge in desperate need of repair on the Superior Hiking Trail, where the students from Maranatha take regular hiking trips. Before the manual labor began, the students designed the bridge using SolidWorks. Tom Denecke, a local engineer, volunteered to help the students. The new bridge they designed was 36 feet long and 10 feet high. Read more…
I’m pleased to announce DS SolidWorks Corporation is performing a customer satisfaction survey again in 2010. The results of this survey are extremely important to us.
As always, Symmetry Solutions encourges your feedback and welcomes ways we can improve your customer experience. At any time feel free to contact us and please, before completing the survey, if there is anything you can not enter as a positive experience contact us so we may try to help you.
DS SolidWorks Corp has again commissioned NetReflector, an independent marketing firm to conduct the survey via email. For the second straight year I am able to provide a URL in case you missed the email (probably due to spam filters).

Thanks to all those who attended our Open House on May 13th. We really enjoyed seeing all of you and, of course, enjoyed showing you our new facility. We played some games and gave away some really sweet prizes to lucky and skilled winners (those that could hit a virtual baseball the farthest, correctly model the fastest in SolidWorks 2010, and toss a bean bag accurately!).
Our grand prize, an Apple iPad, was won by Ben Pagel, of Remmele Engineering, Inc. Congrats Ben!
Watch a slideshow video of photos from the event below. Thanks for coming everyone!
SolidWorks has begun shipping out Sw 2010 Upgrade Kits to eligible customers. About 3/4 of our list has been shipped and assigned FedEx tracking codes. You should receive your upgrade kits before Thanksgiving.
If not, please contact me and I’ll track your package.

Well, it’s hard to believe that SolidWorks 2010 is already available. It seems like it was only yesterday that we were at our 2009 Rollout events. I would like to thank all of you that had the opportunity to attend our 2010 SolidWorks Rollout on October 8th at the Embassy Suites in Brooklyn Center, MN. For those companies attending Symmetry’s Rollout event for the first time, I hope you found it beneficial. I’m sure you’re looking forward to getting your hands on the new release of SolidWorks 2010. For those companies that have been on SolidWorks for a number of years, we appreciate your continued involvement in the Rollout, along with other events that we offer our customers. It’s a fantastic opportunity to network with various companies to see how everyone utilizes not only SolidWorks, but some of the other SolidWorks products, including Enterprise PDM, Simulation and 3DVIA composer. (BTW, check out our website www.symsolutions.com for some fantastic fourth quarter promotions that were just announced).
We also received fantastic feedback from DS SolidWorks Corp. They informed us that Symmetry had the largest attendance out of all of the Rollout events in the upper midwest.
Thanks again for attending and we hope to see you at SolidWorks World in Anaheim, CA on January 31 – February 3, 2010.
Greetings everyone! Welcome to Symmetry Solutions Inc’s Blog. As we all work through the worst economy since the Great Depression, it’s pretty easy to get a bit down. However, this time also affords us an opportunity to do some soul-searching and take a look at how we operate. And in doing so, we have launched a number of projects, including our new website and blog that we know will help our customers.
Jeff Ray, SolidWorks CEO, spoke at SolidWorks World 2009, and he mentioned some great inventions made during the Depression: nylon, the car radio and Spam! We particularly love Spam, as it is one of many great products from Hormel Foods, a leading SolidWorks and Symmetry Solutions customer.
In closing this entry, I want all of our customers to know Symmetry Solutions is here for you during these trying times. It’s easy to do business in outstanding economic times. However, this is when it’s most important for everyone to know we are here for you.
Enjoy the blog and I hope it provides you valuable information.
