WorkXPlore 3D –New Software From Sescoi

Sescoi has picked up the 2008 Industrie Show’s productivity excellence category award with its new WorkXPlore 3D software.

WorkXPlore 3D is high speed, advanced software for collaborative working, which allows viewing, mark-up, analysis, and 3D visualization of 3D models and 2D designs from major CAD packages. Users can import files through a wide range of interfaces, including Catia V5, Parasolid, Unigraphics, Pro/E, SolidWorks, IGES, STEP and STL, and combine them into a single 3D mock-up for shared interrogation and analysis, before a physical prototype is manufactured.

Unlike many CAD viewers, the software is capable of handling extremely large models with ease and includes extensive mark-up, dimensioning and analysis functions to find features such as volumes, flat surfaces and draft angles, which are important for product performance and accurate costing. For exploded views and assembly methods, WorkXPlore 3D can animate the movement of components and view sections, making it simple to understand the parts and processes required to build a product.

By incorporating model data from a wide range of CAD systems, WorkXPlore 3D reduces the investment necessary in costly design systems and enables the whole manufacturing chain to participate in product design, including managers, sales and marketing, customers and suppliers.

Bruno Marko, Chairman and founder of Sescoi said, “We are delighted to have won this important award for WorkXPlore 3D. Data sharing and collaboration play a crucial role in good design. WorkXPlore 3D is a cost effective way of enabling this, opening large CAD files at an incredible speed, and will help companies to bring well engineered products to market sooner.”

WorkXPlore will be available in various versions, from a free viewer to the full Manufacturing Pro version that includes all native CAD translators.

Sescoi launched WorkXPlore 3D in the French market at the recent Industrie show and will be launching it in the UK at the upcoming Mach show in Birmingham. By the end of 2008, it is anticipated that the software will be available in 6 languages and rolled out to all major international markets.
