Frequent on-the-fly changes in specifications

Frequent on-the-fly changes in specifications Frequent on-the-fly changes in specifications and design called for modifications such as the addition of a Z axis with theta rotation, which allowed the chair to swivel. Overall, Macron provided the innovative gantry system, the gear boxes, and assistance in selecting the motors to design "The Ultimate CAD Chair". In addition, once the design was finalized, Macron's eight day turn-around of the gantry system met the quick delivery requirements and aggressive production and filming schedules.

Miller commented, "A level of excitement could be felt in the air as Jeremy Luchini and our teams worked with contagious enthusiasm. The SolidWorks "Let's Go Design" crew along with the crew from Macron worked late in to the night to get the motorization completed before filming. Despite the excitement of being in front of the cameras, the effort was business as usual," said Miller.

"The Ultimate CAD Chair" will be unveiled at the Solid Works World 2011 orders conference in San Antonio TX, January 23 through 26. Representatives from Macron will be on hand during the show.
