FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

DeskArtes announces version 5.1 of the Design Expert software

Helsinki, FINLAND, June 5, 2002 – DeskArtes announced today the new
version 5.1 of the Design Expert software with a price offer which
enables small and even one man companies to enter the world of
professional 3D CAD.

DeskArtes Design Expert is a surface modeling system, which provides a
full range of functionality for interactive free-form curve and surface
design. The product is designed especially for users with no previous
background of 3D CAD. While the software is frequently applied for
conceptual design by manner of sketching of aesthetically pleasing
shapes, it is just as well applicable for accurate detail design of
production-ready complex parts. The results can be presented with
photorealistic renderings or sent to manufacturing processes using IGES,
VDA-FS or STL formats.

DeskArtes introduces a new pricing for the Design Expert version 5.1
with 72% price reduction compared to the previous releases, truly
allowing smaller users and one man operators to start using professional
3D CAD. Current DeskArtes customers include major car manufacturing
companies, largest European glass and ceramic manufacturers as well as
design and jewelry bureaus all over the world.

”We believe that the time for 3D CAD revolution in all areas and levels
of conceptual and product design is at hand”, notes Mr. Ismo Mäkelä, CEO
of DeskArtes. ”With the new aggressive pricing and with improved
products and customer support we want to be at the leading edge of this
change.”

The Design Expert software is available with full 3D surface modeling
capabilities as a demo version over the Internet. Without any license,
and no time limit involved, the user may within the same computer carry
out a complete design from scratch to limited presentation images. When
ready for it, customers will pay for a license to produce final
presentation images and transfer geometries using different data
exchange formats. Student and educational licenses are also available.

functionality to speed up the design and manufacturing process in new
product development at different levels, from start to finish:
