ManneQuinPRO™ Version 10


IMPORTANT NOTE:

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. ManneQuinPRO has now been superseded by HumanCAD and is no longer available for sale.

Universities using ManneQuinPRO in their curriculums are invited to migrate to the new HumanCAD software. However, ManneQuinPRO remains available as a download for a limited time for students and also for customers needing to reinstall the software. The latest update of ManneQuinPRO was released in September 2006.

As of May 1, 2007, we no longer provide support for ManneQuinPRO versions V7.0 and V7.1 and earlier or ManneQuinONSITE.

Upgrade discounts to HumanCAD are available. Email salesinfo@nexgenergo.com for additional information.

A limited quantity of printed ManneQuinPRO V7 user manuals is still available. Please contact us for pricing.
