Industrial Markets

Engineers and designers are increasingly using photorealistic rendering throughout the design and manufacturing process.

In today’s highly competitive global market place, designers need the ability to be able to explore their designs in a variety of customer environments, to visualise their product in a showroom or workplace, and to have the ability to make the right decisions about materials and finishes. Using Lightworks within your application gives you the power to easily let your customers communicate their designs clearly, whether it is an injector valve, camera, motorbike, or a complete aircraft.

Industrial designers want to communicate information and design intent in a meaningful yet cost-effective way without building and rebuilding physical prototypes to evaluate a range of design ideas before committing to manufacturing or bidding for a new contract. Lightworks can help application developers to create software that gives users the tools to produce realistic, inexpensive digital mock-ups of their product designs and design changes.

Industrial designers need to accurately visualise their designs to significantly reduce costs and design cycles, as the marketplace becomes more competitive. They also need to be able to base their designs on real-world materials so that their products can be manufactured. LightWorks is the only renderer that is capable of accurately visualising Mold-Tech surface finishes – used by manufacturing companies to texturise molded parts – which help designers save millions of dollars in design development.
