In last week’s post I started discussing some of the key principles of environmentally sustainable design and concluded that to select a ‘sustainable material’ we first need to understand the application and to identify which phase of the product life cycle is contributing most to the overall environmental impact. This... Continue reading

So in my previous post I was talking about why designers and companies need to be thinking about environmentally sustainable design but now lets get stuck into the detail by thinking about ‘what is a sustainable material?’ When companies begin to think about sustainable design, one of the first issues...

In these blogs I will be writing about sustainable design, but before we get into the details of how to do sustainable design, let’s first think about why its an important issue for you and your organisation. Manufacturing companies around the world are facing an uphill battle at the moment... Continue reading

Just a quick update...as i continued the fractal design method to the model, it gets closer and closer to spherical form. ...which makes sense given the model lends itself toward infinite surface area. I thought it was interesting anyway.
my thoughts were around iLogic. again, i was under a time crunch last night...so, just modeled my concept. but, iLogic is the next step for sure.

Fractals? We're talking about fractals? Yes, yes we are. Recently, I took the family to the Kalamazoo Valley Museum to see their Fractals as Art exhibit...along with all of the other great stuff they have there. I have always thought fractals were pretty interesting, and seeing the results in various... Continue reading

I've never seen anything like it. Yes, the technology is hot but what I'm talking about is the reactions we are getting from customers to the much ballyhooed PLM solution, Autodesk 360 Nexus. The speculation around what we were going to do was kind of fun to watch in I... Continue reading
