think3, a leading supplier of industrial design and product development solutions, today announced the next-generation of its computer-aided-des ign system.

The thinkiD DesignXpressions Series, being previewed at MICAD, the leading European forum for product design, production and lifecycle management, introduces a completely different way to think about industrial design.

thinkiD DesignXpressions delivers on the promise of "Target-Drive Design," a radically new approach to industrial design that frees designers from the technology constraints of traditional computer-based systems.

DesignXpressions improves the design process and shaves 70-90 percent off product cycle time by automatically translating design into manufacturable products.

The result is not only better industrial design but also a substantial cost savings and competitive advantage in a range of industries, from automotive to consumer products, where time-to-market is critical to success.

"The prior generation of surface and solids modeling tools took a 'Lego' approach to design, involving basic sets of building blocks to assemble shapes that were difficult, if not impossible, to modify to correspond to the designer's vision and intent," said Joe Costello, president and CEO of think3.

"thinkiD DesignXpressions is more analogous to sculpting tools
