Cimatron Limited announced that it signed an agreement with Footwear Design & Development Institute (FDDI), India's premier Footwear Design and Development Institute, to develop a complete Sole Design curriculum centered on the CimatronE ShoeExpress solution.

Bringing together the strength of the Cimatron software package and the prestige of FDDI, the Sole Design course will help student's master traditional Sole Design skills, while leveraging the state-of-the-art design tools built into CimatronE ShoeExpress.

Helping Designers Bridge the gap between concept and manufacturing, CimatronE ShoeExpress integrates powerful CimatronE CAD/CAM functionality with dedicated vertical applications that cover the entire spectrum of heel, sole, model and mold creation.

ShoeExpress enables easy creation of production-ready workable molds from computer models - bridging the gap between concept and manufacturing. This allows for drastically reduced time between concept and finished product, while still empowering designers to develop complex soles and heels, with easy on-screen pattern, color, shape and motif alteration.

"As the leading footwear design and development academic center in India, we felt it our responsibility to adopt only the best and most professional design tools available on the market today," noted Mr. V.B. Parvatikar, Technical Director of FDDI. "We chose CimatronE ShoeExpress not only because it's been field-proven by footwear design professionals worldwide, but also owing to its prevalence in the Indian market," he concluded.
