solidThinking Announces Converge 2016 Conference

solidThinking is hosting Converge 2016, a design conference focused on the latest materials, software and manufacturing technologies. All around the globe this fall, attendees will learn the following from speakers:

• Designing innovative, functional, sustainable, and aesthetically appealing products
• Strategies to nurture product design portfolios relevant to time and context
• Generative design and bio-mimetic processes
• Using 3D printing, additive manufacturing, and other targeted production methods
• Processes and tools to enable an accelerated and open-minded design process

The U.S. event will take place from Sept. 8 to 9 in Los Angeles and is followed by the European conference in Essen, Germany from Sept. 20 to 21.

“Converge is a conference for product and experience creators,” says James Scapa, Altair’s founder, chairman and CEO, “For those who’ve been told something can’t be done, or are in charge of making the impossible possible, for the forward-thinking product designers who pride themselves on staying on the leading and bleeding edges, we wanted to create a setting to explore the innovative intersections of technology and design.”
