‘Virtual Prototyping’
An Engineeringtalk guide
Start with the news release
Renault deploys Dassault V6 PLM from
Dassault Systemes, which we summarised at the time by saying "Renault has selected Dassault Systemes' V6 PLM (product lifecycle management) as its global product development solution, in order to improve productivity and product quality. ".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Warley offers 'concept demonstrator' service from
Warley Design Solutions: "Warley Design Solutions has launched a 'concept demonstrator' service for entrepreneurs, start-ups and young companies that are developing ideas for products.".
In June 2009, we covered the news from Roland DG (UK)
- take a look at Modela MDX-40A 3D creates models from CAD data
which says: "Roland DG has introduced the Modela MDX-40A 3D desktop milling machine.".
Take a look also at the news release from Newport Spectra-Physics, Newport updates XPS multi-axis controller,
as well as LMS extends simulation capability of Ansys from LMS International,
and Precision Micro invests in laser direct imaging from Precision Micro.
