ICEM has developed new software for viewing 3D surface models and digital mock-up visualisations created with its ICEM Surf surface modelling, analysis and visualisation software suite.
In-context visualisation aids design reviews
ICEM is pioneering real-time styling and engineering management reviews with an innovative suite of "in-context visualisation" tools.
In addition to providing real-time, high quality surface modelling and design visualisation facilities at the design stage, ICEM Surf is also being used to support Design Q's in-house prototype production and short-run manufacturing capabilities.
"Our decision to implement ICEM Surf was for straightforward business efficiency reasons", said Gary Doy, Director and cofounder of Design Q.
"The software's surface model creation, direct modelling and real-time design visualisation facilities enable us to do away with the traditional clay model approach to design wherever possible and go straight to a digital model which we can manipulate directly, interrogate and visualise to a high quality, in real time".
"This saves time and reduces costs, which enables us to provide our clients with a more timely and cost-efficient service".
"We are delighted that Design Q, with its clients coming from a variety of industries, such as automotive design and manufacturing, aircraft interiors and consumer durables, has chosen to implement ICEM Surf", said Kate Mills, Global Marketing Director, ICEM .
"Their implementation is a good example of the way ICEM software supports the entire design-to-production process for products that rely on high quality, complex free-form surfaces for their customer appeal".
