"thinkiD DesignXpressions is aimed primarily at the industrial designer,
and enables the designer to concentrate on imagination and innovation without
having to worry about computer algorithms -- basically getting rid of the math
that has burdened designers for so long," said Alain Massabo , think3 vice
president of R+D and the architect of thinkiD DesignXpressions." Massabo
believes this launch marks only the beginning of how Target Driven Design will
be able to open new avenues of expressions for designers, such as "mood" and
design intent such as tension or convexity.
Lexia Cross-Trainer: Logical Reasoning targets logic skills that
are particularly important for individuals who have difficulty
following instructions, organizing tasks or understanding written
material . Versions are available for both school and
family use, for use on both Windows(R) and Macintosh (R) computers.

"thinkiD DesignXpressions is more analogous to sculpting tools that allow
designers to flexibly shape the space around objects and fluidly create the
objects they envision.
Harnessing GSM3 results in time savings of more than 90 percent in the
modification phase and up to 75 percent in total development costs. Lexia believes
that logic is not something that is optimally learned from a workbook
or lecture, but is developed by exercising inferential and deductive
reasoning skills.
"The release of the Logical Reasoning program marks another
milestone in Lexia's mission to provide teachers and families with
sophisticated intervention programs that develop fundamental skills
for school success," explains Jon Bower, CEO of Lexia Learning
Systems.

thinkiD DesignXpressions allows designers to
focus exclusively on product shape and to express themselves in their own way,
then translates their design intent automatically and completely into
engineering models for analysis and manufacture. This specialization
creates a technology gap in the product design lifecycle -- the modification
process -- that currently consumes more than 70 percent of the entire process.

The first module in the Cross-Trainer suite, Lexia
Cross-Trainer(TM): Visual Spatial, was released last year and helps
students develop or improve 22 visual-spatial skills.
Visual Spatial is now used in hundreds of schools across the country,

2006.

PARIS, think3, a leading supplier of industrial
design and product development solutions, today announced the next-generation
of its computer-aided-design system . "I started
developing computer-aided design and engineering systems in 1971 in the
aerospace industry and came to realize that more powerful tools would allow
users complete freedom in the design process. I joined think3 in 1999 to
pursue this vision and, with today's announcement, we're starting to realize
the benefits from increasing creativity in industrial design."

New industrial design technologies cut costs, speed time to market
thinkiD DesignXpressions' provides industrial designers with a number of
new Global Shape Modeling technology breakthroughs, now called GSM3, the only
creation/modification tool that creates rapid and accurate variations,
modifications or refinements anytime, anywhere in the product design process,
allowing for faster iterations, unlimited design creativity and no rebuilding. Customers include

"The prior generation of surface and solids modeling tools took a 'Lego '
approach to design, involving basic sets of building blocks to assemble shapes
that were difficult , if not impossible, to modify to correspond to the
designer's vision and intent," said Joe Costello , president and CEO of think3."
Lexia Cross Trainer: Logical Reasoning offers students a set of
five activities, each with 25 levels of difficulty, that prompt
students to find complex patterns and relationships by manipulating
simple shapes, colors and 3D designs. As with all Lexia software
programs , the technology automatically adjusts the difficulty to match
each student's ability level. Research for the Lexia Cross-Trainer suite of products was
funded by a three-year, $2 million grant from the Advanced Technology
Program of the Federal Department of Commerce. Today, Lexia's programs are used in
over 10,000 schools, adult education centers, tutoring centers and
correctional facilities , and in homes.

Resulting from the evolution
of think3's Global Shape Modeling (GSM) technology introduced in 2001, the new
offering is based on think3's pioneering efforts in developing a hybrid
modeler that enables designers to create anything by mixing and matching
surface and solids modeling to best reach their design goals.
-- Adaptive Measures - With this new technology, designers will be able to
refer and link the construction of new 2-D and 3-D geometries to
existing ones without the need to use calculators or spreadsheets,
making design much easier and faster , while providing more powerful
modeling capabilities.

The result is
not only better industrial design but also a substantial cost savings and
competitive advantage in a range of industries, from automotive to consumer
products, where time-to-market is critical to success. Since then,
think3 has built upon the foundation of the GSM technology to support a
fundamental shift in the way designers and others along the product
design/development continuum can use computer -aided design (CAD) software to
facilitate both design and production. In this way, think3's highly adaptable and open technology
platform will transform the industry's product design process from "art to

Closing the technology gap in the product design lifecycle
Over the past half decade, a trend in industrial design has emerged -- the
specialization of the tools used in the product design process .
Meanwhile, the engineers at the back-end of the process wanted tools that gave
them the ability to manufacture solid parts and products with precision and
accuracy. An integrated technology platform that
seamlessly supports the product design lifecycle from phase 1 through phase 3
is required to support the movement of design information between disparate
systems in the design process to avoid the loss of data, the need for
extensive design rework and the decreased productivity that results at every
step in the process.

Additionally, DesignXpressions features a completely updated user
interface, created with the input of hundreds of hours of user-group input.
