Detroit, USA. 6 October, 2006. - ICEM Ltd., the leader in surface modeling, surface model validation and design visualisation software, is launching a Ford Supplier Program for its new-generation product, ICEM Shape Design.
This program follows the successful launch of ICEM Shape Design (ISD) in 2005, and also follows a significant acquisition of ISD licenses by Ford Motor Company in June 2006 (see Ford press release). Following 15 months of evaluation through pilot programmes, Ford will deploy ISD for all future car launches. The ISD software together with ICEM services and training, will be deployed on a global basis as an integral part of its C3P-NG digital product development environment.
Ford Supplier Seminars
ICEM will be hosting a series of supplier seminars at its local offices to introduce the program to qualifying Ford suppliers in October, November and December. More details on the seminars will be posted at icem.com on the events page. Alternatively any interested supplier should contact their local regional ICEM office in Detroit, Hanover or the UK to discuss the program further.
