Alias|Wavefront Announces "Back-To-School" Special for StudioTools CAID Software

Aspiring Industrial Designers Receive Major Price Break

LOS ANGELES, CA SIGGRAPH - August 14, 2001 - Alias|Wavefront, an SGI (NYSE: SGI) company, announced today at SIGGRAPH a "Back-to-School" promotion for K-12 and higher education students who purchase the company's family of StudioTools CAID (computer-aided industrial design) software. The special offer, available now through November 30, 2001, in North America only, represents a significant reduction from StudioTools commercial pricing.

Qualified students may purchase a fully functional, one-year license of DesignStudio, Studio or AutoStudio for just $199 USD.

Alias|Wavefront has instituted the "Back-to-School" program in order to make powerful 3D technology more accessible to students who are training for a career in industrial design. "Students are eager to learn cutting edge technologies and they know there is high demand in the marketplace for designers with these skills," explains Peter Mehlstaeubler, Vice President, Alias|Wavefront. "As a leading provider of industrial design software, we believe that making StudioTools available to this community, for a fraction of the commercial cost, is the best way to contribute to the future development of the industry."

Design Industry Supports Education Program

Commenting on the "Back-to-School" announcement, Gray Holland, Vice President of Digital Product Development at frog design, says, "We are in the Information Age, and the digital revolution has made it possible. The next generation of industrial designers won't be able to compete if they are not proficient in the use of computer-based design tools. Alias|Wavefront's student program is crucial because it gets the top digital technology into the right hands at an early stage."
