13 Standout Projects of 2016: Meet the Integration Award Winners
Best Higher Education Project: Mechdyne for Wichita State University NIAR
In 2014 the team at Mechdyne joined WSU’s Innovation Project group. According to the university, Mechdyne was chosen due to its holistic approach to working with the customer — providing design, build and support — as well as past projects that were technologically forward thinking. What WSU stakeholders had in mind was something they called their 3DExperience Center. It was envisioned as a place for south Kansans to visit and experience their vision in a 3D virtual reality world. From middle school students to the heads of local OEMs, the reaction to this new, immersive facility has been overwhelmingly positive. The 3D space will help manufacturers alleviate the pain of creating new product mock-ups while also shorten the product development time.
