Synergis Engineering Design Solutions Authorized to Sell Autodesk Industrial Design Solutions
The Synergis Engineering Design Solutions Division of Synergis Technologies, Inc. announced that it has been authorized to sell and support Autodesk's industrial design solutions, such as Autodesk AliasStudio and Autodesk Showcase software, to customers in the Mid-Atlantic region. These industrial design solutions give Synergis Engineering Design Solutions' manufacturing customers a complete set of tools that makes it even easier to fully transition to digital prototyping-enabling manufacturing workgroups to create a single digital model that can be used in every stage of production, from conceptual design to manufacturing.
With Autodesk AliasStudio, users can iterate on designs faster, visually collaborate, and convey their vision to develop new product designs in less time-and at a lower cost. And, with Autodesk Showcase software, users have all the tools they need to create accurate, photo realistic product representations from 3D CAD data models so users can clearly communicate their consumer product intentions and facilitate more informed decision-making. Both applications allow users to keep designs digital for a longer period and bring products to market more efficiently.
With Synergis Engineering Design Solutions' and Autodesk's help, Viking Yachts purchased and has begun to incorporate these state-of-the-art industrial design solutions into their business. Adopting Alias enables them to stay on the forefront of technology and visualize, simulate and analyze their designs early in the design process to save time and money, enhance quality and foster innovation.
"The training and support we have received from Synergis Engineering Design Solutions has been critical to our successful adoption of Autodesk software. They've definitely been there for us as we acquire new software and push its limitations. We have a strong, mutually beneficial partnership that has stood the test of time," said Kurt Bender, CAD manager, Viking Yachts. "More than ever, Synergis' support is a requirement. We're on the horn with them regularly and we lean on them for help and troubleshooting as necessary. When the transition is complete, we'll be capturing all of our ideas digitally and never have to worry again that our creativity gets lost between napkin sketches and our 3D software."
"By keeping designs in a digital format longer, manufacturers can virtually explore their product, complete with all of its options, and simulate real-world performance before it is ever built," said Jennifer Zavacky, sales and marketing director for the Manufacturing Solutions Division at Synergis Engineering Design Solutions. "We're excited about bringing these solutions to our customers, partnering with them in their move toward digital prototyping, and helping them reduce their reliance on costly prototypes."
