Innova's SolidWorks Blogspot

I came across an interesting story this week, how a SolidWorks customer has adapted one of its products for use across two vastly different markets.

SolidWorks is well established in snow sports, with customers such as Burton designing high performance snowboard bindings. So it was great to hear how a snowboard helmet company RuRoc have adapted a snowboarding helmet for use by Formula One pit crew teams.

Having made the necessary modifications such as fitting flame proof linings, RedBull Racing and McLaren have both used their helmets in recent seasons.

Following my last blog about a squeezy marmite pot, i've discovered another Innova customer who've developed a squeezy device.

Prestigious design house Cambridge Consultants are releasing a new product called Suma, a handheld interface to overhaul how we interact with computers. Suma translates your squeezes to manipulate movement through the internet ofr in video games. Pretty cool technology that they predict will become big in coming years.
