The new ManneQuinPRO 9.0 allows you to easily and economically test your designs for ergonomic compatibility. With just a few clicks of the mouse, gain total confidence that your design is ready to take on the human form. ManneQuinPRO lets you create accurate, three-dimensional humanoids on your PC that will measure the impact of ergonomics on products, equipment and facilities. Move them to any human-compatible position and view them from any angle, distance or perspective. Then print, plot or export to other graphics software. It's the perfect tool for designers, engineers, architects, safety officials - anyone concerned with creating designs that facilitate human comfort, safety and usability.

The ManneQuin series of human modeling programs has been the most successful in the world with thousands of users since the original ManneQuin program was introduced in 1990.
