Autodesk Acquires 3AM Solutions for Dynamite Products
 SAN
RAFAEL, CA, Jan 5, 2010 - Autodesk, Inc. (NASDAQ:ADSK) announced that it has completed the acquisition of
Dynamite VSP and Dynamite SIM visualization software products and related
assets. The products were purchased from 3AM Solutions, a UK-based privately
owned technology company that develops visualization software for civil
infrastructure. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
Dynamite VSP and Dynamite SIM technology will help Autodesk automate the
process of creating visualizations for projects made with AutoCAD Civil 3D
software. Dynamite VSP offers simple and efficient ways to bring AutoCAD
Civil 3D software data into Autodesk 3ds Max Design software.
Dynamite VSP provides direct and permanent links
between Autodesk 3ds Max and 3d civil design
applications such as MX, Civil 3D, InRoads and
GEOPAK
"We believe that every design has a story to tell. This acquisition will
greatly simplify the process of visualizing complex AutoCAD Civil 3D
projects with 3ds Max Design," explained Jay Bhatt, Autodesk senior vice
president, Architecture, Engineering and Construction. "It will help civil
engineers tell their story in the most compelling way possible -- validating
their designs in context and showcasing projects for public consultation and
approval."
"With Autodesk's research and development investment capabilities, this
acquisition is expected to benefit our existing users as our technology is
taken to the next level," said Bruce Harfield, director of 3AM Solutions.
"We look forward to working with Autodesk to further integrate the
technology into the company's existing software and advance Autodesk's
visualization offerings for civil engineers."
"This acquisition will help empower users to more rapidly produce
high-quality visualizations of civil engineering projects -- even those
without detailed knowledge of 3ds Max Design," added Bhatt.
Product Integration
Autodesk intends to integrate core technology from the Dynamite VSP and
Dynamite SIM products into 3ds Max Design and other existing Autodesk
architecture, civil engineering and visual communication applications.
