Aarkid, the team behind an online app called 3D-Standards for the design of portable displays, has confirmed that the software has been chosen by Sign and Digital UK for the second consecutive year. A branded version of 3D-Standards is being provided to exhibitors at the 2012 show.

In addition, Aarkid says that 'top companies' are using the web3 application to produce growth in sales of up to 50 percent in the last twelve months.

Originally developed to enable nurses and hospital staff to take part in the design of operating rooms, 3D-Standards is now described as 'a design app for salespeople' which allows them to 'create professional visuals to reassure a prospect', says Damian Tremlett, managing director, Aarkid.

"Our experience is specifically with designing interfaces and systems that enable the layperson to jump into the space previously occupied exclusively by CAD engineers," he continues. "We wanted to make an easy application for the exhibitions and displays industry; it's an industry on the verge of rapid change, and a very exciting place to be right now."
