PRESS RELEASE Alibre Design for Rhino Plug-In Delivers Rhino Users Powerful Parametric Solid Modeling

"The ability to integrate parametric solid models directly into Rhino opens
up a whole new spectrum of design workflow and efficiency," said Bob
McNeel , CEO of Robert McNeel & Associates. But, by applying sound theoretical foundations, coupled
with insightful software engineering, he demonstrated otherwise. The Cerebra(R) Suite is an enterprise-strength , SOA-ready
integration and application environment based on OWL, RDF, XML, SOAP,
and WSDL standards .
