The new featured-packed release of solidThinking Inspire® 2016 introduces groundbreaking PolyNURBS functionality allowing users to quickly and easily flow optimized designs into manufacturable products by wrapping topology results with NURBS geometry. “Our new PolyNURBS toolset is a game changer, allowing users to create geometry from optimized results much faster than traditional CAD modelling,” explains Andy Bartels, Program Manager. “The result is an incredibly robust tool that has not only expanded the use cases for Inspire, but also accelerates the path to cost-effective manufacturing.”  Doug Hedges, President of Sintavia, LLC., notes that, “Inspire does what few programs can; it takes a complex process and makes it easy to understand. My whole team was able to use the program after just a few hours of training and it has led to dramatic time savings in the design process.”  Key Updates for Inspire 2016 include: PolyNURBS – Create manufacturable designs from

Global textile service company Lindström, which operates in 24 countries in Europe and Asia, has implemented Gerber Technology's YuniquePLM™ web-based product lifecycle management software to accelerate the production of customer solutions throughout its operations. Gerber and their Finnish distributor ACG Nyström provide product support to Lindström. "Our volumes of product development and customer specified projects have increased greatly over the past few years. The existing administrative systems were not sufficient to satisfy our growing needs," said Taru Jokinen, product concept manager at Lindström. "Previously, the systems were not compatible with one another, as information had to be transmitted manually between systems. This was extremely time-consuming, and the possibility for errors was substantial," said Jokinen.  At Lindström, delivering great customer service is a priority. "As we operate in many countries, we must diligently react and respond quickly to our customers' needs. YuniquePLM has supported this objective, helping Lindström to unify
