In addition to Autodesk VIZ, we are now running Vis Mockup and Vis Jack, further extending our digital prototyping options.  Vis Jack allows us to place a human into an environment, testing our designs to the last detail.

We have vacancies for up to 8 CATIA V5 design engineers to work on various projects.  Experience is essential, visit our CAD vacancies page to apply.

Our latest quality certificate, ISO 9001:2008 can be viewed here.

We understand, and have experienced ourselves that 1601 or 1603 Windows Installer errors have been occurring when installing SolidWorks 2010.  If your installation is stopping and failing to continue at around 12-13% then the following should fix this problem:

The error is linked to Microsoft Windows Installer 4.5 and is identified as ‘KB942288-v3′ (32 bit) or ‘KB942288-v4′ (64 bit).  Going into ‘Add/Remove Programs’, ensuring ‘Show Updates’ is ticked, then removing this installer will revert you back to Windows Installer 3.01.  When started again, the installation should run smoothly.  Please note that this only effects Windows XP and Windows Vista users.

A vacancy has opened up in the West Midlands for a Project Manager with experience in CATIA.  Please visit our CAD vacancies page to apply.

We have a vacancy for a designer/planner with experience in Autodesk Inventor and 3DS Max.  Please head over to our CAD vacancies page for further details.
