The Bender Podcast

Hello, I’m Glen – your host for The Bender Podcast. Have you ever asked yourself, Is there a better way? Is there a community that will help you learn and grow? Is there someone with a passion for Solidworks as strong as your own? Then you’re in the right place. I am a Mechanical designer, a user group leader, and a CSWE. We are sometimes overwhelmed by the complexity of the software. On this podcast, I will break down the process to your individual needs. I will deliver content that will help you take control of the software and turn you into an Expert. My motto is, “It’s not broken, just bent.” Join Michael and myself on this journey as we do a deep dive into the software and simplify it to your needs.
