HighRES Develops Integrated 3D Reverse Engineering Software Plug-In for Solid Edge
HighRES, Inc., providers of CAD/CAM integrated 3D reverse engineering and digitizing software products, announced the release of HighRES for Solid Edge ( http://www.solidedge.com ), an integrated 3D reverse engineering software plug-in. This integrated software eliminates the need to import foreign digitized data into Solid Edge while digitizing with a respective portable CMM, laser tracker, laser scanner or desktop digitizer.
"Solid Edge customers have been asking us to integrate our products for quite some time," stated Christiann Moore, Director. "By integrating our 3D reverse engineering tool set, our mutual customers will be able to experience a significant time savings by scanning direct with their portable CMMs."
The release of the plug-in coincides with HighRES' Solid Edge Voyager Partner membership; the Solid Edge Voyager Program serves the Solid Edge computer-aided design (CAD) user base with access to leading software and hardware applications that offer best-in-class computer-aided design, manufacturing and engineering analysis (CAD/CAM/CAE) solutions.
"We welcome HighRES as the latest Solid Edge Voyager partner," said Mark Davies, Solid Edge Voyager program manager. "This is the first product to offer digitizing directly into Solid Edge. Many customers will be pleased."
"Users can link a portable CMM to Solid Edge and gain immediate access to surface geometry from physical molds, models or parts," said Chief Technology Officer Braxton Carter. "There is no need to learn stand alone CAD packages as HighRES contains over 100 tools sets available direct from the drop down HighRES toolbar. Engineers will save a significant amount of time by gaining access to digitized entities that now reside in the feature tree such as 3D points, 2D splines, lines, arcs, circles and rectangles. Surfaces and solids can be generated from any entity scanned with the HighRES for Solid Edge product."
Digitized data is collected on screen, within the open Solid Edge part file and can be measured, inspected, modified or used for part to CAD comparison during the active scanning process. The HighRES for Solid Edge will start shipping immediately and will also be providing customer training and annual maintenance support options.
HighRES, Inc. headquarters in La Jolla, California, develops, markets and supports advanced 3D reverse engineering software and 3D digitizing hardware solutions worldwide. Further information is available at http://www.reverse-it.com Tel: 858-488-5231.
