Whereas our specialized courses are offered through out the year at our Chicago office, Design Engine Education instructors are also flexible to accommodate your group or company by teaching classes onsite at your facility. Our instructors are not just taught how to teach specific software; they are high level users and don't get stuck when specific questions are asked during class that may veer from the structured training (like many of our competitors). We have heard stories from costumers about other training they received onsite and the instructor could not veer from the course material.

Our onsite training efforts are reflected successfully at Schick, Fisher-Price, Yamaha, Motorola, Knoll, John Deere, General Atomics, M3 Design, IDEO, British Aerospace, Valley Lab, Triumph, and Cannondale onsite training efforts. Call 312.226.8339 today to speak to one of our recognized instructors or inquire for past manufactures references. Inside US and overseas our instructors each carry valid passports for training abroad.

There are pros and cons to onsite training with many obvious examples such as cost savings with respect to many vs one traveling and accommodations. It is costmary to ask for two estimates from our sales department to evaluate the strengths. Sometimes our costumers will fly instructors to their city for training yet still conduct the training at an offsite facility such as a hotel conference room.

Customized Onsite Proe Training, Maya Training, Rhino Training:
Our onsite training workshops are often customized for specific product design or engineering functions. For example, one major seating manufacture gave Design Engine Pro/ENGINEER models from a past project and asked us to create custom documentation in HTML sharing high level surfacing technique beyond menu clicks. Our competitors often teach from a click by click book or manual.

With the disclosures signed our engineering team can then evaluate how the models have been put together enabling the instructor to better accommodate the training workshop.

Custom Documentation in HTML:
Specific Pro/ENGINEE training requirements for onsite efforts are often coordinated several weeks before training is to commence. And often are meant are made to customize the training by documenting current modeling practices for example This interrogation effort allow the instructor or instructors a full picture of the skill levels and a complete picture for a design process that is currently in place. In this custom document the instructors have time to apply techniques that will be gained fro the course and apply those techniques to the various modeling examples supplied. We usually recommend a 20 to 30 hour addition to the proposal depending upon how many models are supplied for interrogation. The value of this added cost goes for future training efforts as these documents can be added to the corporate intranet. These documents are usually secretive and as such it is difficult for us to share examples of the custom documentation we develop however a progressive deliverable for the advancement modeling practices and techniques of a development team.

Pro/ENGINEER vs SolidWorks: Proving Form with Both

With all the bickering on various design forums, Design Engine tried to set the tide straight. SolidWorks can stand up to Pro/ENGINEER in terms of work-flow and technique to Pro/ENGINEER when proving form. I clearly believe that it's not how fast you model can a product but how fast you change it twenty times that makes you the expert and makes the program you are using superior than the others". Find out how we conducted this test. By Bart Brejcha

Pro/ENGINEER is Stealthy

In the future drone aircraft will sustain more gravity forces than the human body can withstand. Drones can already stay deployed longer than a human can stay awake. The F35 maybe the last strike fighter with a pilot in the aircraft.

Check out this new Low Signature (stealth rating) 20-hr.-endurance Predator C deemed the Avenger which has emerged from General Atomics Aeronautical Systems engineering department after a 3½-year gestation period and it was all designed using Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire.

The History of Tires and How they are Constructed

The first rubber tires appeared in the mid-1800's, they were were made of solid rubber also know as cushion tires. The rubber it's self carried the load unlike the air-filled tires we are familiar with today. The air-filled tire or "pneumatic" tire was patented as early as 1845 although solid rubber was preferred because of it's durability.

Barber Motorcycle Museum

When a designer or engineer thinks of a Museum we think of Moma or the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Or perhaps we think of the Museum of Science and Industry? Probably the last thing that comes to mind is a motorcycle museum.
