Linkage Provides Complete Design Solution for Rivian Automotive
Linkage has been working with Rivian Automotive for the past four (4) years by providing product design and transportation software and services that include Autodesk's Alias and VRED solutions for 3D digital content creation and digital visualization. Initially, Rivian was a startup so they were challenged by not having enough available funds to purchase the Autodesk subscriptions they needed to get their work done.
Fast Design Launch for Nikola Motors
Nikola Motors was in a truly unique situation as they had only two people on staff when they launched in 2015: their founder, Trevor Milton and a designer, Steve Jennes. I supported Steve 15 years ago when he worked at Isuzu Motors so he knew to call me to ask for our help. Steve had to design and digitally build the initial electric semi-truck concept in less than 30 days. He was very nervous about taking on these responsibilities as his Alias 3D modeling skills were rusty.
Linkage Supports Waymo's Autonomous Car Ongoing Design
All Google divisions were new to using Autodesk Alias and VRED when we first started working with them in 2014 so Linkage worked with all the users to present the merits and values of using these tools in pre-sales meetings, working with the Autodesk Named Account Rep and his team. Specifically, the Waymo division needed to be up-and-running ASAP. Linkage provided a complete package of software, training and services to fast-track their use of these tools.
