Autodesk Announces Famed as Inventor of the Month for April 2007

Autodesk, Inc. announced that Famed Zywiec , the largest producer of medical equipment in Poland, has been named as the Autodesk Inventor of the Month for April 2007.

Located in Poland's Zywiec Valley, Famed Zywiec manufactures hundreds of diverse products and specialized furniture for hospitals and doctor's offices. These products range from operating tables and lights, to hospital and rehabilitation beds, dental chairs and incubators.

In producing this medical equipment, Famed Zywiec combines more than 80 years of market experience with the most modern technology and research and development efforts. This allows the company to manufacture and offer products of the highest quality that fulfill even the most stringent safety requirements. For its efforts, the company has received several quality certificates, including ISO 9001, ISO 13485 and ISO 14001 -- an environmental management standard recognizing organizations that minimize the impact of their operations on the environment.

Inventor plays a key role in helping Famed Zywiec design and manufacture their products with a minimum of waste by providing 3D tools that allow them to visualize the impact of their ideas early in the design process, before anything is actually built. Working with local Autodesk reseller and training provider Evatronix S.A. allowed Famed Zywiec to immediately start benefiting from Inventor digital prototyping capabilities.

"Modeling a product in Inventor translates to incredible savings, especially at the prototyping and manufacturing stages," said Piotr Kozbial, R&D Director at Famed Zywiec. "Before Inventor, we used to produce four or five physical prototypes. With Inventor, the design that we create is the prototype, and we can easily incorporate feedback and optimize the design before we manufacture anything. That translates into less waste -- for us, and for the environment."

Each month, Autodesk selects an Inventor of the Month from the more than 600,000 users of Autodesk Inventor software. Winners are chosen for engineering excellence and groundbreaking innovation. For more information on Autodesk Inventor of the Month, contact us at IOM@autodesk.com .
