Edison 2
The car of the future is very light, and entirely designed using Solid Edge
$5 Million prize winner
Edison2 was founded by Virginia real estate developer and automotive entrepreneur Oliver Kuttner, in response to a challenge - the Progressive Insurance Automotive X Prize competition. This competition offered a top prize of $5 million to the team that could create a safe, clean, production-capable, well-performing vehicle that gets over 100 miles per gallon equivalent. The Edison2 concept car that won was designed entirely using Solid Edge®software from Siemens PLM Software.

Edison2: The car of the future designed in Solid Edge wins the $5 million X Prize- Siemens PLM |
Synchronous technology speeds the transition from prize-winning concept vehicle to preproduction prototype.
Keys to success included fast changes to original CAD gemoetry using synchronous technology and automated updates to their linked components.
The results speak for themselves:
- Car designed using Solid Edge won $5 million X Prize (mainstream category)
- Changes to existing CAD models are made in minutes; without synchronous technology the same changes could take days
- Innovations and lessons learned with concept car will lead to greater fuel efficiency in production cars
To learn more about this amazing car and Solid Edge with Synchronous technology, download the Siemens PLM Edison 2 Case Study.

Solid Edge Fundamentals Training
October 11-14, 2011- Akron, OH
This 4 day class will give the new user the confidence and tools to create parts, assemblies and drawings using Siemens Solid Edge.
The new user will also learn the basics of file management as found inside of Solid Edge.
Who should attend - This course is intended for users new to Solid Edge that want to get a jump-start on becoming proficient with the Solid Edge product.
Prerequisites - Potential students should have the following prior to the class:
·Mechanical Design Experience
·Windows Experience
·Completed the Solid Edge Tutorials delivered with the product
Lack of Mechanical Design and Windows experience is very difficult to overcome in the classroom. Students who lack one or both should realize the impact it will have on their learning experience. Just a little exposure to Solid Edge prior to the class can make a big difference.
Topics included with this course :
·Exploring Solid Edge
·2D Sketches and Layouts
·Primary Features
·Treatment Features
·Specialized Features
·Creating Drawings of 3D Models
·Dimensions and Annotation
·Assembly Design
·Document Management
·and much more!
Course Materials -
·Getting Started With Solid Edge (a 200 page guide) is provided free with an advance registration
·Lab work and class material will be distributed in class.
 As an added incentive, get a FREE SpacePilot Pro by 3Dconnexion ( a $400 value) with the purchase of this training class.
A 3Dconnexion 3D mouse redefines the way people work with 3D models and applications, introducing users to an easier, more balanced, two-handed work style
