In this second edition of VISTAGY Viewpoint we focus on some issues that are critical to the composites market. Johan Grape, VISTAGY’s director of technology, writes about the primacy of concurrent engineering for manufacturers who want to optimize the value and performance of their composite parts. Also, learn how the Austrian firm of Fischer Advanced Composite Components used FiberSIM® to help meet a tight delivery deadline for the Boeing 787 Dreamliner.

In addition, included is a feature story on VISTAGY’s implementation and support services describing how we can help your firm reach its strategic goals through the optimal use of VISTAGY products. Plus, read a “colorful” product tip that explains how you can enhance productivity in your design process.

We hope that you find this issue thought-provoking and informative, and encourage you to contact us with potential story topics and suggestions. Thank you for your continued support.
