Advanced Technology Consultants LLC
Sign Distribution Agreement with Materialise USA
Commerce Township, Michigan,-- Advanced Technology Consultants L.L.C. a
consulting firm that specializes in Rapid Manufacturing signed a
distribution agreement with Materialise USA, the maker of Mimics, Magics RP
and MedCAD. "The agreement with Materialise USA is only one part of a total
solution that we are working on" said Karl Denton, President. "We are in
the process of working with the makers of RP hardware as well and expect to
complete our solution for the medical industry very soon". Mr. Denton
continued.
The Mimics software already provided a very power-full solution for the
conversion of CT and MRI data into a format usable on RP machines. Now with
the addition of the MedCAD module it is a complete medical modeling system
that interfaces the patient data with CAD data. This coupled with the
addition of an inexpensive piece of rapid prototyping hardware gives us the
ability to offer the medical community a complete solution for medical
modeling. "We believe that the time is right for the medical industry and
that we have put together a package that has a price point that will be very
attractive" continues Mr. Denton. Although Advanced Technology Consultants
LLC will be working with the medical industry, all of the Materailise
product line is being represented.
Advanced Technology Consultants LLC. Will provide all of the training
required for both software and hardware. "We believe that in the past there
has been nothing but confusion for those in the medical industry, you have
software sales, hardware sales and all of the in between support that is
required for the sale to be finalized. We have removed all of the variables
and given the purchaser one place to focus on; before, during and after the
purchase process. The other thing that we have done is removed all labels
like: Rapid Prototyping, Manufacturing, Tooling....These are manufacturing
engineering terms not related to the medical industry, we offer a CT/MRI
Medical Modeling System or MMS" Says ATC-LLC's Steve Hildebrandt, Vice
President.
The MMS solution will be ready for sale in mid October 1998. All of the
Materialise products can be purchased on-line via the Advanced Technology
Consultants LLC storefront website at: http://www.advtechconsult.com/store
