123GO is now FREE

123GO is a mechanical fastener library that was originally only available to LOGOPRESS3 users.  This mechanical fastener library was extracted from the LOGOPRESS3 software and released as a stand alone product, called 123GO, and has been made available to all SolidWorks users. This mechanical fastener library is now available for FREE.  This software not only adds fastners to your assemblies, it automatically cuts all holes in all components and adds the mates.

To obtain this software for free, send an email to 123go@accuratediedesign.com and they will send you a link to download the software and libraries.  Do it now, because rumor has it that some of the library components may be removed by the end of March.  Registration is required.

Why is this free?  By distributing 123GO for free, it becomes a marketing tool that will dramatically promote the Logopress3 name throughout the world, even beyond its current scope.  They have also added a 123GO Advanced product to the mix of Logopress3 products and there is some percentage of users that they feel will wish to purchase that after having used the 123GO for awhile.  They know users will be "hooked" and once you are "hooked" they will want more!  Both 123GO and 123GO Advanced are also available with option Logopress3 hole charting functionality which surpasses SolidWorks hole charting functionality.

Logopress3 is a Gold Certified SolidWorks Solution Partner that provides a 3D progressive die design solution for SolidWorks.

Personal note: I have known Ray Prober, President of Accurate Die Design, for many years as an fellow SolidWorks user and usergroup member.  I first saw the LOGOPRESS3 product many years ago and I was impressed with how easy the software was to use, and it's power.  A short time later, LOGOPRESS3 introduced the 123GO mechanical fastener library.  I was impressed again because it was adding features as the part level, unlike Toolbox only creating assembly features.  I couldn't get the company I work for to spend the $500+ per seat for 123GO so I had to do without.  Now that 123GO is free, I look forward to downloading and using it. 

The only reason I wrote this "sales pitch" is because I am impressed with the capabilities of the product, and the product is now available for FREE to all SolidWorks users.  No reimbursements have been received or expected.
