Technicon Design Academy now offers Autodesk Alias training courses in the US

Technicon Design has decided to extend its programme of advanced and applied Autodesk Alias training courses into the US market. These specialist training courses have created so much interest in recent months that Technicon will start to run the first Autodesk training courses with the theme “General Alias Studio surfacing training for clay modellers” from July onwards in its Irvine facility, California. In order to enable students who are currently working during the week to participate in these courses, some will be held on weekends. Special conditions are available for current Technicon contractors.

Technicon Design & Virtual Colour & Trim Development

Technicon Design has long been known for its digital modelling capabilities in the automotive industry, but did you know that they do a lot of virtual prototyping including Colour & Trim proposals?

Their digital surfaces and materials look so realistic that it makes it much easier, quicker and much more cost-effective for customers to make their selection of the right material in this way. You can quickly “dress” your product in different digital materials for comparison and the images are amazing.

Have a look at their website or at the recent article in Form Magazine (Form Special Issue “The Magic of Materials”, form 226, May/June 2009).
