Intercad Select SolidProfessors' Custom Add-in for SolidWorks

Intercad, a leading mechanical CAD supplier for Australasia has partnered with SolidProfessor , a SolidWorks Solution Partner focused on delivering the very best self-paced multimedia learning experience for SolidWorks. Intercad intends to utilize SolidProfessors' custom SolidWorks Add-in at all seven locations throughout Australia and New Zealand. In addition, SolidProfessors' comprehensive library of self-paced SolidWorks knowledge will be offered to customers as a complement to Intercads' live training and support program.

Intercad and SolidProfessor have developed a blended training and support solution that combines all of the value added services provided by Intercad with a customized support add-in and on-demand multimedia content created by SolidProfessor. The value this new program delivers customers is the ability to instantly access a host of training and support resources inside the SolidWorks design environment.

Shane Preston, Business Development Manager at Intercad comments, "This innovative program is exactly what we've been looking for. By implementing this solution, our customers will no longer be limited by time or geography. Our clients will now have a centralized area inside SolidWorks to access standardized training and support to ensure maximum productivity through proficiency across their organization."

Through our collaboration we've found a way to deliver real productivity gains for customers by reducing the time it takes them to find answers to their design problems."

Intercad will now offer a complete library of courses for SolidWorks 2008 including Core Concepts, Drawings, Advanced Parts, Advanced Assemblies, Sheet Metal, and Update Training.
