IDSA Indiana Looking for Sponsors

PTC is finally taking a major cue from Rhino3d by now letting users download a free version for 30 days. This will let designers and engineers find out for themselves that Wildfire 3.0 is an incredible tool. It has always frustrated me to see industrial designers download Rhino and then years later they are huge Rhino fans, when they could have learned a program that is easier to take to production.

Manufacturing

Machining of materials for medical applications has moved to a new level of precision. In parallel with this, moulding technology has improved through the increased use of sensors in moulds, enhanced design simulation and processes such as micromoulding. This article examines the opportunities offered by these developments and includes examples of mass produced parts that demonstrate the new capabilities useful to product designers.

Imaginit will be presenting work flow solutions with their popular software options. They will demonstrate how designers can use Alias studio and associated tools to get from concept to renderings. This will be a great opportunity to ask basic and technical questions, as well as see the software.

The current agenda is as follows, and will be update if it changes:
