Far from the action-packed world of media and entertainment, 3D software has found a plethora of uses in the realm of engineering and manufacturing. The same tools being used to make otherworldly vistas and super-powered characters in film, TV and video games are also aiding the design and manufacture of vehicles and appliances, as well as providing everyday tasks such as building management. In an ongoing effort to showcase all corners of the CG community, 3D World spoke to some of the individuals behind these engineering innovations. They discuss their various uses of 3D software and technology, how it improves on more traditional methods, and how their respective industries could be changed by it.
