solidThinking, Inc. (http://www.solidthinking.com) announced it has added SiliconStudio Korea, Ltd., (http://www.siliconstudio.co.kr) to its growing value-added reseller (VAR) community. SiliconStudio Korea will market, sell and support solidThinking’s NURBS-based concept-design software throughout South Korea. This agreement is the latest international VAR partnership signed by solidThinking to increase the software’s adoption throughout the global industrial design/styling market.
