VISTAGY President and CEO Steve Luby to Speak at CompositesWorld Investment Forum 2010
VISTAGY, Inc. announced that founder, president and CEO Steve Luby will speak at the CompositesWorld Investment Forum 2010 on Monday, March 15 at 3:15 p.m. at the Hilton La Jolla Torrey Pines Hotel in La Jolla, CA. Mr. Luby’s presentation is entitled, “One Size Does Not Fit All: Taking an Industry-Specific Approach to Composites.”
In addition to discussing the importance of addressing the unique business and technical challenges that composites present on an industry-by-industry basis, Mr. Luby’s presentation will also touch on a number of other timely topics, including: The importance of meeting design timelines and understanding the financial implications of manufacturing for new markets, capitalizing on the growing and changing demands of the supply chain and taking advantage of opportunities to address the increasing fragmentation in the composites industry.
“When composites first emerged more than 20 years ago in the aerospace industry, the main question was, ‘Can we make it and, if so, will it break?’” said Mr. Luby. “But as more industries have adopted composites and the range of materials and processes have expanded greatly, the design and manufacturing challenges have become far more complicated and industry-specific. Now the question is, ‘How can we optimize part performance, reduce product development cycles and stay within budget?’ It’s a more sophisticated challenge.
“VISTAGY supports the entire process for highly complex engineering projects by providing open and flexible, industry-specific software that helps customers leverage their existing engineering and product development tools, while our professional services enable them to implement effective development processes. These kinds of products and services are resonating strongly in all our target markets around the world.”
VISTAGY’s FiberSIM® is a comprehensive software suite that addresses the entire composites engineering process, from conception, laminate definition and ply creation through simulation, performance optimization, documentation and manufacturing.
