Orchard Mall Orchard Rd. and Maple 932-1222 E HO COO G . A HOME COOKING SERVICE , 354-1080 ..›< 352-6785 ubital, jointly owned by two German and two Israeli com- panies, will open offices in Warren next week to launch its first commercial product. The companies — Ger- many's Schneider Optik and Maho AG and Israel's Clal Electronics and Scitex Corp. Ltd. — founded Cubital in 1987. Their device, the Solider 5600, enables manufacturers and designers to create precise and functional physical models directly from com- puter aided design files. It is not known whether this is the first German- Israeli joint venture, but Haim Levi, Cubital's Mich- igan director, said the ven- ture is "strictly business." "The Jewish point was not a major factor. Business was," Mr. Levi said. "The merger was based on Clal and Schneider previous- ly working together in 1985," Mr. Levi said. "Schneider sold a product in Israel, which led to deeper interests. "It works for us," Mr. Levi said. "And it can work for other companies. A German company can push Israeli industry." Mr. Levi said the German and Israeli companies have not had any problems work- ing together. Cubital has contracted with a local company, Stature Machining Technology, which sells ser- vices to the automobile in- dustry. Officials hope to sell the Solider 5600 to the Big Three automobile companies and suppliers, the aerospace industry and the castings industry. Engineers have been de- veloping the Solider 5600 for three years. It will be unveiled during Detroit's Autofact conference, which begins next week. The system integrates a revolutionary concept of rapid prototyping that corn- pany officials hope will alter today's mechanical design practices. A user of the Solider 5600 can feed into it a design, from which a model is created. "Designers are expecting their rapid prototyping system to process any ge- ometry with predictable ac- curacy and to perform a good job on the first trial," Mr. Levi said. Cubital America will handle all marketing, sales and technical support in the United States. It is a wholly- owned subsidiary of Cubital, Ltd. of Herzlia, Israel. ❑ Thanksgiving Mixer Set For Young Adults Detroit-area young adults and college students home for the Thanksgiving holiday are invited to a community-wide social event at Carlos Mur- phy's, 8 p.m. Nov. 21.
