solidThinking Supports Industrial Designers’ Continuing Education Through Program-wide Sponsorship of 2011 IDSA Regional Conferences
solidThinking, Inc. (http://www.solidthinking.com) will showcase its recently launched solidThinking 8.5 and solidThinking 8.5 Inspired™ software at the Industrial Designers Society of America’s (IDSA) five regional conferences April 1 – May 3, 2011. As a comprehensive program sponsor, solidThinking aims to support the continuing education of industrial designers and contribute to the conferences’ ongoing collaborative discussions on technology and the future of industrial design.
Product specialists from the solidThinking team will be on-hand to help attendees experience the software’s more than 900 fixes, updates and enhancements, learn more about how solidThinking can enhance design workflow, and collaborate with attendees on the ways innovative 3D software is redefining the ID world. For a preview prior to the conferences, attendees can learn more about solidThinking’s 3D modeling, rendering and presentation, computational inspiration and data exchange features by visiting the solidThinking website.
“Feedback from the industrial design community truly helped shape the development of both solidThinking 8.5 and solidThinking 8.5 Inspired,” said Alex Mazzardo, solidThinking’s vice president of product strategy and marketing. “IDSA’s 2011 regional conferences will give us the opportunity to gather firsthand experiences and reactions to these product enhancements, which we believe will enrich and accelerate design inspiration for industrial designers and their collaborative partners.”
