CIMdata in the News: “Virtual Product Development Gaining Traction”

“Virtual Product Development Gaining Traction” focuses on the degree to which virtual product development — the notion of designing, prototyping and developing both the product and the manufacturing processes in a fully digital environment — is starting to become a reality.

In the article author Beth Stackpole writes …“All of these efforts aim to bring previously isolated domains together and attempt to advance the promise of designing, testing and prototyping highly complex products in a virtual world”

Beth also taps the expertise of CIMdata’s John MacKrell who notes:

“Up until the last couple of years, we've been unable to bring together the different disciplines except by prototyping with physical devices,” says CIMdata Senior Consultant John MacKrell. “Being able to do all this virtually is really important for streamlining and increasing the speed of design.”
