Autodesk Inventor Release 4: over 150 enhancements
Autodesk today shipped Release 4 of its high-performance 3D mechanical design software, Autodesk Inventor, with over 150 enhancements in this release
This annual event is fast becoming a high-profile launchpad for emerging design "stars" and an excellent opportunity for talent spotting.
Past entries, including a gadget that tells blind shoppers the price and style of clothes, a retractable stiletto heel, an underwater digital music player and a remote controlled indoor plant watering system, have generated strong industry interest and follow-up.
The Autodesk Awards for Innovation will be presented on 14th June 2004 at the university's Runnymede Campus in Surrey and all winning projects will be on display from 13th to 15th June.
The five winners will receive two-year licences of Autodesk Inventor Professional - and as this includes both Inventor and AutoCAD, students who have been using AutoCAD within the university will be able to gain immediate benefit from the powerful functionality of Inventor.
James Hanson of the Brunel Good Thinking team explained that this year's judges will be looking for products "that bring together cutting-edge technology with insightful design sense to create products that simplify and add value to our lives".
Kevin Ison, Autodesk Business Manager, Manufacturing Solutions Division added that this is why Autodesk is supporting awards: "We recognise that this event honours some of the UK's most promising designers and we're delighted to be involved".
"Because Autodesk Inventor Professional helps accelerate design cycles, simplify design management and make product development more affordable, it gives users the time and potential to be more productive and creative in their work".
"We believe that the winners will benefit extensively from the chance to experiment with Inventor, the number one 2D and 3D design software used in education, and we shall look forward seeing the results in the years to come".
