We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Product Development",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Software eases the research process from
PTC - Parametric Technology (UK), which we summarised at the time by saying "DTC needed to expand the capabilities of its existing Pro/Engineer and Pro/Intralink implementation to make more use of its product development data by sharing it across
the enterprise".
The same day,
we featured the news release Consultancy to share polymer expertise from
Smithers Rapra: "Centre will support customers from the initial materials selection, design, processing and prototype development, durability and compliance testing to failure analysis and recycling".
In February 2008, we covered the news from Xpress Product Development Group
concerning its SRP
- take a look at Rapid prototyping expands to sheet-metal parts
which says: "Dedicated state-of-the-art equipment including laser cutting are employed to offer typical project deliveries in 2-4 days".
Take a look also at the news release from Ricardo, Compressor development to revolutionise wind power,
as well as Software cuts radio development time by two thirds from PTC - Parametric Technology (UK),
and Distorted views hold back lean product development from Smallpeice Enterprises.
