3-D Firm Merges with Chief Competitor for Global Leadership
 Mechdyne
Corporation or Marshalltown, Iowa, announced it would merge
with Fakespace Systems Inc. of Kitchener, Ontario, to become
a visualization industry powerhouse. Together, the two former
arch-rivals will bring the best of both worlds to the table,
making their companies forerunners in the global marketplace.
Mechdyne
and Fakespace are both prominent players in the global marketplace
for display systems that enable users to work with three-dimensional
models and environments as if they really exist in space.
These advanced visualization systems are used in a variety
of industries including automotive, manufacturing, military,
aerospace, geophysical exploration, biotechnology and scientific
research.
The
display systems are large-scale front- and rear-projected
displays and walk-in virtual environments that provide exceptionally
high-resolution stereoscopic viewing, which enables engineers,
geoscientists and researchers to achieve better insight,
communications and collaboration.
Mechdyne
focuses on oil and gas, selling its products mainly in South
America; Fakespace Systems Inc. works primarily with federal
government clients in Europe.
