solidThinking, Inc. Connecting with the Design Community at IDSA Conferences March 27-May 3 Nationwide
WHAT: solidThinking, Inc. (www.solidthinking.com) – developer of the user-centric industrial design/styling software solidThinking 7.6 available today on both PC and Mac – aims to spark interest among designers during a nationwide tour of the Industrial Designers Society of America’s (IDSA) regional conferences, taking place March 27 through May 3, 2009. As a sponsoring partner, solidThinking will lead presentations and workshops for conference attendees to explore how technological advances in software design can influence the future of the design industry.
solidThinking will kick off its IDSA tour by presenting at the Northeast District Conference on March 28. Jim Hassberger, solidThinking, Inc.’s vice president of business development and customer relations, will speak about the challenges and opportunities in product design arising from the combination of human thinking and computational inspiration. Hassberger will use practical examples to demonstrate the exciting new methods that have emerged for designers to generate and explore forms that are aesthetically stimulating and well-adapted to their intended functions.
