January 04, 2008 - Petach Tikva, Israel – OptiTex continues to drive design software into the future with purchases by leading American universities. The forward-thinking institutions include Cornell University, Iowa State University, Lindenwood University in Missouri, Marshall University in West Virginia, Philadelphia University, Parsons School of Design in New York, Seattle University, Georgia University and the University of Minnesota.
“We are delighted that so many prestigious universities have chosen our software to train the next generation of designers," said Yoram Burg President of OptiTex USA. “After spending years establishing ourselves as the leader in design software, it’s fabulous to see that we’re leading the way to the future as well.”
OptiTex is the premiere design software for most of the key textile industries, including apparel, industrial fabrics, upholstery, automotive and aeronautics. While OptiTex’s software platform features advanced 3D models, computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacture (CAM), its user-friendly nature, highly-customizable on screen environment and environmentally friendly elimination of wasted materials and paper make it especially attractive to students.
"We consider the use of CAD software in the classroom to be an important part of our curriculum, both to teach students about the interaction between technology and design, and also to provide them with a tool to improve the quality of their work", says Prof. Susan Ashdown at Cornell University. "Students appreciate software that is intuitive and user friendly, as they can quickly become proficient users themselves creatively.”
“Our software is now being used in classrooms worldwide, including Turkey, Spain France, Germany, Brazil, South Korea, India, Columbia, and China,” concludes Burg. “With so many leading designers across almost all industries leveraging the OptiTex platform, this growth can only help graduates of these programs to be more marketable.”
