Lite Plus has some great things to say about the entries for their battery design challenge and for the top-notch interactions they had with the GrabCAD Community. We saw some tough questions, beautiful designs, and lots of thoughtful work from our GrabCADrs!
We are happy to share that we have paired up with Nokia to give our Community the chance to dream up some cool accessories for the Lumia 820. They are brainstorming what they could create to take advantage of their new wireless charging system and need your help. What do you imagine?
Lite Plus developed a lightweight Lithium-ion 12v starter battery for spirited driving, longevity and performance. In our newest design challenge, they need you to create two new casings for their Lithium-ion 12V car battery! Join us in rethinking the battery.
GrabCAD recently had the opportunity to speak at the latest Design for Manufacturing Summit in Brooklyn. NY. The intimate setting of mostly small to medium companies in the design and manufacturing industries made for honest and interesting panels. It is clear to our team that the point of 3D content is to help designers and engineers get real work done and real products made. We were glad to be included in the discussion around 3D printing, scanning and modeling so we could share this message with others.
