the news release Quoting system is protected by patent from
Quickparts, which we summarised at the time by saying "Patented QuickQuote system streamlines the quoting process by analysing 3D CAD data and producing instant online binding quotes".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Maths software simulates mechanical systems from
Maplesoft: "DynaFlexPro 3.0 allows users to produce models of complex mechanical systems without knowing anything about linear graph theory or the Maple command syntax".
In April 2007, we covered the news from Boothroyd Dewhurst
- take a look at Manufacturing design forum announced
which says: "Boothroyd Dewhurst will host the twenty-second annual International Forum on Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DFMA), on 19th -20th June, 2007".
Take a look also at the news release from Ansys, Simulation software cuts analysis time,
