QSSolutions Receives CADENCE Magazine Show Stopper Award for Iced*CAD; Iced*CAD Stops Them Cold at NDES

    ROYAL OAK, Mich.--March 13, 2003--QSSolutions -- Engineered Systems Group LLC, a leading technology consulting and integration firm and developer of Iced*CAD(TM), was awarded the CADENCE Magazine Show Stopper Award during the National Design Engineering Show held last week in Chicago.
    CADENCE Show Stopper awards are presented by CADENCE Magazine, a leading CAD industry publication, to recognize companies whose products are pushing the CAD technology envelope forward. Iced*CAD by QSSolutions was one of just five winners during the event.
    "This is a great honor for us," said Tom Kelly, President of QSSolutions -- Engineered Systems Group, LLC. "We saw an existing labor-intensive and tedious process for creating assembly models that could be improved and automated. By turning the existing assembly process around, Iced*CAD starts with a parts list and creates the assembly model rather than pulling the assembly model apart to create a parts list."
    Iced*CAD represents a technology that offers a new and revolutionary look at the existing process of creating assembly models and parts lists. Iced*CAD allows companies with existing pre-drawn component parts to assemble 3D models and 2D drawings based on a parts list. Iced*CAD pulls individual parts from the CAD component library and intelligently assembles them "on-the-fly" in the CAD system. Iced*CAD works with Pro/ENGINEER, AutoCAD, Solidworks, CATIA, and Unigraphics.
