The 3d Solidworks Models of various components on www.PropellerCode.com have now been moved and are now being maintained at a new website called www.SolidShack.com.

http://www.solidshack.com/ is a new website dedicated to providing 3d models free of charge to anyone who wants them. The database on www.SolidShack.com is continually being updated to provide new 3d models on a daily basis. Most of the free 3d models on www.SolidShack.com are modeled in native SolidWorks format. Moving these 3d SolidWorks models to a new site is beneficial to you because now you can not only get the free 3d models in native SolidWorks 3d format, but you can get them in multiple other file formats as well! Please feel free to browse either of these sites for updates to these new 3d SolidWorks models.

DIY, do it yourself robot demonstrations are coming soon to PropellerCode.com. We here at PropellerCode.com com are working on designing low-cost robots with the budget in mind. We like the idea of being able to build nice prototype robots out of low-cost materials and random junk laying around. We may possibly even explore the idea of designing robots out of trash. Ideally the only thing you should have to spend money on when building your robot prototype should be some motors and electronics. Come back soon to see check the progress.

The Solidworks 2009 Beta Release is expected to be released soon. The Beta program for Solidworks 2009 will officially launch in early June 2008. The Beta teasing is scheduled to start later this year than for the previous year because Solidworks noticed people lost interest over such a long duration of Beta testing. This year’s program will shrink down from a 15 week period to an 8 week program. The Solidworks 2009 Beta test program is set up so that Solidworks users across a variety of industries can help to make the final build of the  Solidworks 2009 software as good as possible when it is finally released. This year the Beta program will be available to everyone via the Solidworks Customer Portal on the Solidworks website. (As of the day this was typed the Solidworks 2009 Beta is not yet released for testing) Some incentive for being part of the Solidworks 2009 beta test program is that Solidworks gives points for every glitch and bug found in their software. After, Solidworks gives away free stuff to people with a lot of points. Some of the top contributors to the Solidworks 2009 Beta test program win a free copy of Solidworks! Buying Solidworks yourself can run around $5,000 so it’s a nice prize if you ask me! More information will be released soon.
