ATLANTA -- January 31, 2005 - MFG.com announced today it will exhibit and demonstrate the new SolidWorks Manufacturing Network Quoting Service at their Booth #124 in the Partner Pavilion at SolidWorks World 2005, in Orlando, FL from January 30 - February 2, 2005. MFG.com will join more than 60 solution partners featuring their products and services to the SolidWorks community. MFG.com is the premier online marketplace for buying and selling custom manufacturing services.

In November 2004, SolidWorks launched the SolidWorks Manufacturing Network Quoting Service, a customized implementation of MFG.com. The new quoting service enables users of SolidWorks --designers, engineers, and purchasing professionals -- to send Request for Quotes (RFQs) to suppliers they discover through the SolidWorks Manufacturing Network, a free business-to-business online directory for design and manufacturing services. Qualified suppliers respond to the RFQs with private quotes.
