Avatech Becomes Autodesk Seek Content Service Provider
 BALTIMORE,
MD, Mar 1, 2010 - Avatech Solutions, Inc. (OTCBB:AVSO), America’s leading professional services
company for design and engineering technologies, announces it has been
designated an Autodesk Seek Content Service Provider. This designation
recognizes Avatech’s leadership role in helping building product manufacturers
develop data-rich 3D models of their products for easy download and inclusion
into digital building information models (BIM).BIM encompasses the creation
and use of a coordinated, consistent 3D model in which objects reflect
real-world behavior and specifications—and is a process being adopted by
architectural, engineering and construction (AEC) firms at a phenomenal
rate. With more than 80 percent of the top AEC firms worldwide now using
BIM, manufacturers need to ensure that their products integrate into the BIM
process that is driving large institutional, commercial, and industrial
building projects.
The consulting services group at Avatech has worked successfully with a
wide variety of building product manufacturers to develop modeling program
strategies and BIM product content. Avatech’s new Autodesk designation
ensures that clients’ models comply with the standards preferred by the
millions of Autodesk Revit and AutoCAD users worldwide.
“Developed for professional designers, Autodesk Seek is an online source
of digital product models that employ established style guidelines and
standards. We have been providing models that meet or exceed these
requirements for some time,” says Scott Hale, Vice President of
Manufacturing Consulting Services, Avatech Solutions. “We’re helping
manufacturers build detailed BIM product models that architects and
engineers can discover online and embed directly in their projects. As a
result, these manufacturers are able to win more business at a much earlier
stage in the building design and construction process,” Hale continues.
Avatech’s mechanical and architectural application specialists have
real-world experience and understand how architects incorporate building
products into their designs, as well as how manufacturers design and produce
those products. This understanding enables the consulting group to provide
strategic direction to their manufacturing clients—not simply content
development services.
“Autodesk Seek is fast becoming an important online channel for building
product manufacturers to market and sell their products. Our new designation
recognizes our proficiency in helping manufacturers develop their product
content for this channel in a way that is growing in lock-step with the
exploding BIM movement,” Hale concludes.
