Roland Customer — Pasadena Art Center College of Design

David Cawley, director of model shops and 3D labs at Art Center College of Design in Pasadena talks about how his transportation design and product design students use MDX-40A’s to create realistic prototypes and how they’re enabling more design time by speeding-up the manufacture cycle.
