Start with the news release
Ansys software helps Ferrari improve comfort from
Ansys, which we summarised at the time by saying "Italian car manufacturer Ferrari is using software from Ansys to optimise automobile design and performance.".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Jena Tec offers ballscrew repair discount from
Jena Rotary Technology: "Jena Tec can repair ballscrews of any make, type or configuration, with whichever type of ballscrew transfer system.".
In November 2009, we covered the news from Laser Design
- take a look at Laser Design system checks injection mould tooling
which says: "Laser Design has announced that Schneider Electric recently installed a Laser Design Faro arm laser scanning system in its Cedar Rapids, Iowa facility. ".
Take a look also at the news release from SolidWorks Corporation, Solidworks CAD software used in blind car,
as well as Night Vision plus makes driving in the dark safer from Bosch Automotive OE Division,
and Tyre pressure monitoring system saves downtime from AM Bromley.
