With “push pull”, surfaces can be moved, changing the size or shape of the design. When modelling, you can now use, for example, the new “push/pull tool” that allows you to modify designs that have no construction history. The 2021 edition includes some new features that help with modelling, sketching and rendering, as well as features on PolyNURBS and mould design.

Recently, Altair launched the 2021 edition of their all-in-one industrial design solution – as they describe it themselves – namely Altair Inspire Studio. To finally present the design, Inspire Studio’s rendering engine creates beautiful images and complex animations in real-time with physically correct lighting. In this way, the entire design is updated in real time. In addition, the programme remembers the complete design history, so that it is always possible to return to an earlier stage of the design and, for example, to adjust that one curve. The Altair Inspire Studio package is versatile and contains everything an industrial designer needs: free design based on polygons and SubD NURBS, but also very precise drawing with, among others, surface modelling and solid modelling. The software should enable simulation analysts as well as design engineers and architects to perform ‘what-if’ studies more quickly and easily and reduce product time-to-market. The package claims to help industrial designers reduce costs, development time, material usage and product weight.Īltair Inspire TM is a topology optimisation software, used to form and explore constructively efficient concepts in the early stages of the design process. Design8 bv, distributor of 3D design and visualisation software on Mac and PC in Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands and member of Flam3D, offers a new product in its portfolio to help with successful 3D printing: Altair Inspire Studio 2021.
