Ready for some competititon?

January 9, 2007

Does your portfolio include what most will have to admit is a killer design? Well, if you happen to be a user of CoCreate's PLM software and you have a creation you're willing to show off, consider entering CoCreate’s 2007 Design Competition. The entries, which must be created in CoCreate's 3D product development tool, need to fall into one of 15 product categories (among them, consumer goods, industrial products, even construction and agricultural equipment). Entries must be received by March 16, 2007, and 15 category winners will be announced the first week of April. Visitors to CoCreate's website can vote on their favorite designs starting March 19, 2007. Winners are eligible for an array of goodies (which all happen to be designed with CoCreate software), including an The X-2 Deuce snowboard and various electronic gear. Go to CoCreate's website to get the details.

In other news, CoCreate also announced the 2007 version of its CoCreate OneSpace Suite, to ship in early 2007. Among the highlights of the new release:

*New 3D capabilities

*A Cabling module for faster mechatronics design

*A new integrated rendering environment

*Out-of-box integrations

*BOM enhancements

Check out a sneak peak of the upgrade with this webcast.
