solidThinking Inspired 8.0 Review on DEVELOP3D
The January 2010 issue of DEVELOP3D includes
a full review of solidThinking Inspired 8.0.
Click here to download the PDF copy of the review.
The article is also available on-line.
Here a few excerpts:
“solidThinking has an incredibly rich toolkit for
conceptual design.”
“The surface creation selection is first class and can
be used to create very high quality forms, but most importantly it is quick and easy to create any number
of design variants and concepts. And with the new rendering tools, colours, surface treatment and material options can be quickly and accurately evaluated.”
Of course, a major part of this release is the introduction
of solidThinking Inspired and the morphogenesis tools.
I’ve been playing with this non-stop since I first got my
hands on it and it’s a fascinating tool for the designer.
Using a world-class technology as its foundation, it
lets designers explore structure and the performance
requirements of a product at a very early stage
of the design process.”
