RiDO can help signpost companies to organisations that can aid in developing products for various market places. Utilising the latest technology, this support network can dramatically cut costs and time to market.

The Digital Knowledge Exchange
Most people are familiar with 3D objects – for example CAD data on a computer screen – or even animated characters in the latest movie or game. The truth is, these are still on a 2 dimensional computer screen – so it’s not really 3 dimensions.

What the Digital Knowledge Exchange employ is LETS, a “4D” visualisation – adding another layer or dimension to existing 3D data – to give even more information or clarity in real-time. This gives extra depth to viewing so you get real spatial awareness of 3D objects.

From a fully interactive 3D web site enabling customers to browse large product portfolios or building layouts – through to fully immersive design and planning reviews for manufacturing, construction and transportation industries, the LETS system can bring a new dimension to your business. 

In addition to this, small to medium sized enterprises (SME's) in South Yorkshire can get up to 50% off the cost of a project utilising the technology.

See the Digial Knowledge Exchange websitefor further information.
