Cue Acoustics Ensures Sound Product Design
The challenge of introducing a new product into the highly competitive consumer electronics market can be a daunting proposition for any company. For Cue Acoustics, a Massachusetts-based start-up co-founded by CEO Sam Millen, a veteran industrial designer and product development specialist, choosing the right design solution was a critical first step to developing a next generation best-in-class tabletop audio system.
The company needed design software that would enable it to maintain the core design intent while providing the flexibility to quickly incorporate late stage changes without impacting time to market.
Cue Acoustics Inc. selected Pro/ENGINEER from PTC exclusively to design its inaugural product, The Cue Radio Model r1, a premium AM/FM tabletop radio system with support for the iPod digital mobile device. Pro/ENGINEER is PTC's integrated parametric MCAD/CAM/CAE software that aims to help companies develop detailed, intuitive and realistic digital product models and related deliverables. Cue Acoustics uses Pro/ENGINEER to create the complex curvature continuous surfaces that embody the Model r1's stylish design.
