This represents a strategic area as well as a significant market for think3, through the direct and indirect channels", said

Alberto Pittoni, think3's Indirect &

OEM Channel Manager. think3 technology will enable SENER and its customers to reduce the time-to- market of new products and speed up significantly the product development cycle by allowing the full integration of 2D-3D and PDM. FORAN users will benefit from simple, easy to use soft- ware. This will be reflected in the streamlining of the production of draw- ings and the introduction of PDM func- tionality fully integrated with the
