Innovation in Design

Here at Black Diamond, innovation is not a four letter word. It is our driver. As we demand more and more from our gear, we demand more and more innovation from ourselves. As part of a new approach to designing, developing and engineering the best gear for climbing and freeride skiing, we are constantly striving to innovate not only the gear itself but also our processes.

For the last two years we've employed the power and flexibility of Siemens’ NX PLM software to enable our designers to be cutting-edge in design, innovative in process and quick to make iterations, as well as operate more efficiently within the context of our global design studio. Watch the video below to learn more about how BD engineers use of the NX software to set new benchmarks of design and engineering excellence and most importantly, build the best gear possible for the sports that define our lives.
