"Our vision is to provide clients with a competitive advantage during product development by helping them implement the right tools to create better designs in less time and at a lower cost," said Daan Hulst, general sales manager, Holland Engineering Consultants. "Our knowledge of the CAD, CAM, CAE and PLM markets, combined with partners like solidThinking, will help designers and engineers develop products in less time and achieve greater assurance of product performance. solidThinking software is a perfect addition to our service offerings through its intuitive and user-centric features, flexibility and high-quality visualization capabilities."

Through its flexible, yet powerful, implementation of NURBS (non-uniform rational b-splines) modeling, solidThinking's 3D conceptual-design software encourages innovation in industrial designers who want the highest precision for any analytic or freeform shape. The software offers a best-in-class ConstructionTree™ technology that allows designers to experiment in real time, without starting from scratch, when they change their minds. solidThinking produces high-quality, real-time photorealistic imaging for realistic design visualization.

With solidThinking Inspired™, users can run morphogenesis™ form-generation technology to grow efficient shapes in response to environmental forces and pressures. Morphogenesis draws on the principles of biomimicry to allow designers and architects to use form generation to explore and experiment with design concepts.

"Resellers continue to realize the value they can bring to clients by adding 3D modeling design technology like solidThinking to their product offerings to gain flexible and unique design options that are complementary to their existing tools," said Jim Hassberger, vice president of business development and customer relations for solidThinking. "By partnering with HEC, we further expand our market presence in the region and position solidThinking for growth throughout Europe and other international markets. We look forward to working with HEC to help its clients experience solidThinking's benefits."
