The X-Rite eLearning webinar will point out the importance of the appearance on a final product colour.

X-Rite Incorporated and Pantone LLC have recently announced that they will host a free eLearning webinar on August 29th, highlighting how companies can digitally capture and communicate the appearance of a material in product designs. As a matter of fact, manufacturers can streamline product design, enable remote visual approvals and reduce oversampling by transforming a physical material into a digital twin or virtual prototype.

“Both colour and appearance play an essential role in product design, yet even experienced professionals may not fully understand how a material’s appearance attributes such as texture, gloss, reflection, or other special effects will impact the product’s final colour. In this webinar, we discuss the importance of appearance on final colour and demonstrate how to capture, communicate and digitally render appearance characteristics for use across multifunctional teams and with suppliers around the globe,” has stated Thomas Meeker, a 3D solution architect at X-Rite.

The attendees will able to watch a demonstration of the latest appearance software PANTORA™ and see how the latter connects with X-Rite Ci7000 benchtop Series, MA-T12 multi-angle and MetaVue VS3200 spectrophotometers to capture colour and appearance. Furthermore, they can also discover how to measure and import data directly into PANTORA in order to store, edit and create virtual material samples for metals, paints and structured coatings.

“Digital material twins can be used at each step of the product development process, from marketing to production and quality control, to ensure a consistent representation in both the virtual and physical world. This revolutionary technology enables companies to innovate and accelerate the design to manufacturing process by remotely assessing variations, ensuring products are within tolerance, and verifying all aspects of a final assembled product”, has added Meeker.
