An Engineeringtalk guide
Start with the news release
Virtalis installs immersive visualisation suite from
Virtalis, which we summarised at the time by saying "Virtalis has designed and installed an immersive visualisation suite at Case New Holland (CNH) in Modena, Italy. ".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Pam-Comfort helps Renault design new seat from
ESI Group: "Renault has used ESI's Pam-Comfort system for the preliminary design of a new seat.".
In November 2009, we covered the news from Galil Motion Control
- take a look at Galil controller aids border patrol surveillance
which says: "Galil Motion Control has provided a DMC-4020 controller for the US Border Patrol's surveillance system. ".
Take a look also at the news release from Objet Geometries Europe, Objet to exhibit rapid prototyping solution at TCT,
as well as University of Manchester buys 20 NI Elvis units from National Instruments,
and Sycode announces Keycreator extensions from Sycode.
