"By using the Inventor 3D visualisation capability, we were able to include highly professional and realistic representations of our proposed concepts, which undoubtedly helped us in securing the project".
A specialist in furniture manufacture, Interfocus has established an especially strong position in the office and education markets and has a successful 15-year relationship with Cambridge University.
The new contract, undertaken in conjunction with primary contractor, AMEC Construction, is for 52 student flats, together with ancillary kitchens, laundry, staff room and gardener's compound.
InterFocus has extensive experience working with Autodesk and Micro Concepts and James Cannon believes that Inventor integration with existing 2D plans provides ideal design continuity: "At the same time, in a busy design studio its easy-to-use functionality enables us to produce high quality designs faster.
As a result, we can give clients a clear representation of what we are looking to achieve early on in the development process".
For Mark Mills, sales manager at Micro Concepts: "InterFocus provides an ideal example of how, in the architectural market, Inventor not only supports superior mechanical design but its visualisation capability also offers a valuable marketing presentation tool.".
