In this session, Christopher Barretta from the Stanley Black & Decker Industrial Design team will discuss how the Objet Geometries PolyJet Matrix™ machines have improved the prototyping and evaluation process for the next generation of products coming to market. Through the use of 3D printing technology, the prototyping team delivers conceptual models faster, getting ideas in the hands of the designers for evaluation sooner.

Session attendees will learn:
• A general overview of the Stanley Black & Decker design and prototyping process.
• How the Objet Geometries 3D printing technology improved our prototyping and production of ID conceptual models.
• How this technology helped save manpower, time, and money while on our design evaluation process.

The unique capabilities of the Objet Geometries 3D printing system present infinite possibilities to the field industrial design prototyping. Possessing the ability to design/model a part in the morning when you get to your desk and then hand it off to a prototype specialist in the afternoon to be printed is proving to be invaluable. Rapid prototyping technologies, like the Objet systems, are forever changing the prototyping profession, and are a key part of delivering better products to consumers faster.

Everybody is talking more and more about “green” engineering these days. While its beginning to become clearer what this means in the fields of alternative energy and consumer energy usage, it’s still not at all clear what this means for the world of motion control. Some of the leading motion control companies will discuss and explore your questions about “green” design principles and how they apply to applications in the motion control world.

By attending this special 1-hour free webinar you will gain a better understanding of the key factors involved in “green” motion control and their relation to the projects you’re working on now and in the future.

Technology advances have made 3D printing a viable solution to meet today's demands for design iterations and cost restraints. As such, the landscape of 3D printing machines comes in a range of prices and features. The leading major 3D printer vendors will discuss and explore your questions on the best printer for your specific needs, ranging from prototyping versus production, individual use versus group use, finish needs, and more.

By attending this special 1-hour free webinar you will gain a better understanding of the key factors necessary to make the best printing choice for your applications among the 3D printers.

If you’re like many 2D design houses, you’re finding it harder and harder to keep up as…

* Competition provides less and less time to release new products.
* New manufacturing techniques, materials, and suppliers complicate development.
* This year’s products demand more style and design complexity.
* Design and manufacturing must be integrated from teams all over the world.

If you’re considering the move to 3D, Explicit Modeling may be the best solution. It’s based on the same principles and concepts as 2D, but it's also so much more.

To find out why 2D users are switching to the Explicit Modeling Approach pioneered by CoCreate, join us for this live webinar.

Not satisfied with your 3D CAD system?

As a product designer or CAD manager, you must be flexible, spontaneous, creative, and take a team design approach to creating great products. You need sophisticated and intuitive software to create well-engineered and attractive designs.

If you’re not thrilled with every aspect of SolidWorks, Solid Edge or Inventor, it may be time to consider the benefits of switching to CoCreate Modeling - the world’s #1 explicit 3D CAD system.

To find out why engineers are switching to explicit modeling, join us for this live webinar.

Collaboration is essential to successful product development in today’s difficult economy. However, facilitating and managing the process is growing increasingly difficult. Design teams must participate from all parts of the world, develop products that are more complex than ever before, and deal with product-update cycles that move faster and faster.

Do you have the right CAD collaboration platform?

Do you use network folders or an FTP site to manage CAD files?
Have you experienced trouble locating the latest versions of CAD files?
Are you looking for an easy way to collaborate internally?
Companies of all sizes face Product Data Management and Product Lifecycle Management challenges. Fortunately, quick-to-deploy solutions can help companies overcome these challenges.

In this Webinar, we’ll explore how design teams in small and medium-size companies can use these solutions to work concurrently, find the right files, share data and enable social product development.
