The Berlin University of the Arts, in cooperation with Visual-Dream Berlin, is organising Germany's first 3D-Modelling Symposium for industrial designers, architects and engineers.
The event for professionals and students from the above-mentioned disciplines takes place on the premises of UdK Berlin and comprises three modules: Lectures, Case Studies and Masterclasses. In these, experts from Germany and abroad demonstrate solutions to the requirements of contemporary architecture and construction as well as modern design using 3D modelling, predominantly with Rhinoceros software.
In the Lectures (45 minutes each), speakers present multidisciplinary applications, including on the subject of Generative Design; participants in the Case Studies (45 minutes each) are introduced to projects or product applications such as Paracloud. The Masterclasses (3 x 5 hours each) develop 3D modelling skills with experienced instructors in product, automotive and marine design as well as architecture. Evening Lectures are also planned with renowned architects, designers and engineers who are pioneers in the use of Rhinoceros for 3D applications.
From 21 to 25 April 2008, the SolidWorks systems house will present its software solutions for digital product-development processes in Germany’s mechanical-engineering and manufacturing sectors.
Not least, design determines the success of a product today. Whether functional, futuristic, retro or classically simple: every designer needs specialised and flexible tools to develop, present and produce their designs. So that young people can realise their creative ideas, Autodesk is now offering all students, teachers and lecturers free access to the comprehensive AliasStudio design tool on its Student Community web platform at www.students.autodesk.de.
In November 2007, Autodesk named Franke GmbH “Inventor of the Month.” Each month, Autodesk honors a user of Autodesk Inventor somewhere in the world for outstanding engineering achievements and innovations.
