think3 in the Limelight at the Haifa Italo-Israeli Conference on 'Shape Modeling and Reasoning'
think3 is taking part in the Italian-Israeli Conference entitled 'Shape Modeling and Reasoning for Industrial and Biomedical Applications', promoted and organized by the Italian Embassy in Israel in collaboration with Technion, the Israeli Institute of Technology in Haifa.
The aim of the conference is to discuss the main applications of 'digital shapes' in the industrial and biomedical fields, and to strengthen scientific collaboration between the Italian and Israeli research groups, whose competence in shape analysis and synthesis has won international recognition. The meeting will provide researchers with an opportunity to compare their work, exchange new ideas, and advance new joint projects.
The event, which takes place from 7 to 9 May in Haifa on the Technion Campus, will be attended by a delegation of Italian academics from the Milan Polytechnic, the University of Catania, the University of Genoa, the University of Rome 3 and the prestigious IMATI-CRN (Genoa section of the Institute of Applied Mathematics and Information Technologies of CRN - National Research Council). Israel will be represented by the most distinguished researchers from the Departments of Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science and Electrical Engineering of the Technion Institute.
Important representatives from the world of industry from the two countries will also be present. think3 will be joined by Altair Engineering in representing Italy.
IMATI has recently concluded a project on Shape Modeling in which think3 was the industrial partner. The conference will provide a showcase for the potential applications of the results obtained.
Davide Ciarloni, Director of Industrial Design Solutions at think3, will illustrate the impact this research has had on think3 solutions. His contribution, entitled "Modeling Shapes in Target Driven Design Mode", will focus on the potential of think3's radically innovative approach to design - Target Driven Design. This approach, based on Global Shape Modeling (now known as GSM3), is the only tool that allows extremely rapid, highly accurate and precise creation and modification work during all phases of the design process, thus shaving time off the product design process and improving design quality. This revolutionary approach allows designers to concentrate exclusively on the creative aspects of the design process, freeing them from traditional technological limitations.
