You can read the press release or just check our quick summary of what’s new here:

solidThinking Inspire changes the way product designers and structural engineers approach design.

“Inspire demonstrates solidThinking’s innovation and profound understanding of how companies develop products,” says Dr. Keith Meintjes, Practice Manager for Simulation and Analysis at CIMdata, Inc. “It is a tool that precisely addresses the needs of product-responsible design engineers. The straightforward user interface is easy to learn and use and helps designers quickly create efficient and often dramatically lighter structures.”

Meintjes adds, “Inspire provides an early indication of the effects of material placement on product performance, up front in the development process. It is a great example of how simulation can be democratized and made usable without the requirement to understand the details of the underlying technology.”

We are happy to have Design8 bv as our new solidThinking partner for the BeNeLux (Belgium, Netherlands and Luxemburg) region. The team are experienced with both 3D Design Software and 3D Printing . www.design8.eu

Coverage of the solidThinking presentation at the Inside 3D Printing Conference in New York City by On 3D Printing. We explained how a technology derived from bone structure research from the Nineteenth Century led to Inspire.

“Here is a good YouTube video tutorial on solidThinking’s animation capabilities. solidThinking has solid animation capabilities that enable users to animation objects and cameras and the user can have multiple cameras. “ Thanks Architosh.

“Digital optimisation is often done within the bounds of an existing design, using parametric variation techniques. But what if you want to explore potential design options with a little more freedom? Al Dean looks at a possible solution”
