DeskArtes announces Industrial Design System for Mac OS X  

Helsinki, FINLAND, June 7th, 2004 – DeskArtes announced today the DeskArtes Industrial Design System on Mac OS X platform. DeskArtes Industrial Design System is a software package which has been specially developed as a design tool for industrial designers.

In the most user-friendly way, DeskArtes IDS 4.4 performs all the tasks required for designing and styling of industrial products:  

    Powerful and Easy-To-Use Modeling

    Interactive and Photo-Realistic Visualization

    Data Transfer to Manufacturing and Rapid Prototyping Systems.

Unlike other systems the user does not have to become a modeling expert to create complex surface models. The designer can achieve optimal results with minimum of effort. With DeskArtes, the designer can very quickly model and then interactively visualize an idea. The ease of use is a critical concern. The designer needs a system through which he can think out and develop his ideas. DeskArtes is such a tool allowing the designer to explore a wide range of ideas and alternatives. The design can be gradually refined from concept to detail. The designer can concentrate on what he does best - "creative design".  

”DeskArtes IDS has been available for Unix and Windows NT users already for several years and it has gained a large acceptance in the world of creative designers in ceramic, glass, jewelry and other industrial design fields.”, notes Mr. Ismo Mäkelä, CEO of DeskArtes. ”With the Mac OS X version we can offer our solutions to a large set of  new customers used to work in the most user friendly and graphically powerful Mac environment.”
