No engineering or manufacturing company can ignore the impact of visualisation and simulation technologies on the product
life cycle and the implementation of concurrent engineering. These technologies have helped to eliminate physical prototyping, support interactive design review,
simulate manufacturing processes and introduce co-operative marketing. As a result, Companies like yours have achieved major design cost savings, cut design to
production lead times, reduced risk and boosted customer satisfaction.
This Seminar is delivered by the leading practitioners and users, experts who will :
- Present the latest market research
