Simpleware Ltd. and COMSOL Inc. announced at the COMSOL Users Conference 2007 in Grenoble a partnership agreement to provide an export interface from Simpleware's world-leading 3D image-based meshing software ⁺ScanFE™ to COMSOL Multiphysics® 3.4, the industry's foremost multiphysics simulation environment. The ⁺ScanFE interface enables COMSOL users to directly import high-quality meshes generated from MRI, CT, and MicroCT scan data into COMSOL Multiphysics 3.4 for modelling and simulation without requiring re-meshing or pre-processing.

Simpleware Ltd., the world leader in image-based meshing software, has signed a reseller agreement with Vangest Group, a provider of most advanced solutions in project, development and manufacturing.

Simpleware develops world-leading mesh generation software for the conversion of 3D scan data into high-quality computational models for FEA, CFD, CAD and Rapid Prototyping. Unlike other approaches, Simpleware provides complete software solutions from importing 3D images through to direct export to commercial FEA and CFD solvers including: ABAQUS, ANSYS, COMSOL, FLUENT, MSC, etc.

June 14, 2007, Materialise released a new and improved version
of its image processing software Mimics. It will again raise the bar in image
processing and editing based on stacked data such as CT and MRI. Continuous
development and support have resulted in the release of Mimics 11.

June 1^st  2007, Materialise announced the winners of the Mimics Innovation Awards 2007 at the International Mimics User Group Meeting in Washington, D.C. 

We congratulate:

• Category 1: Innovative implant design system & the development of innovative medical procedures.
