By providing the ability to accurately visualize manufactured surface finishes using our pattern library and LightWorks based rendering applications, this exclusive partnership will provide product designers a reliable and accurate flow of design specification data throughout the whole art-to-part process, from the initial design stage to rapid prototyping, mold preparation and final product manufacturing.

There are more than 80 CAD applications based on LightWorks in use by more than 2 million designers worldwide. With Standex, the venture offers this large user base access to a wide range of surface finish variations before the product manufacturing stage, resulting in faster design decisions and improved time-to-market, as well as higher quality products for the consumer.
