Spatial Advances Handling of Imported 3D Geometry

Spatial Corp., announces availability of 3D ACIS® Modeler and 3D InterOp Suite Release 20 (R20). The new release advances capabilities for handling import and modification of data within 3D applications, improving end-user productivity and streamlining work-flows in areas such as specialized design, analysis, manufacturing, and inspection. R20 further promotes an application’s value in the product development process by enabling high-quality data exchange and near immediate usage of CAD models for application-specific needs.

As an example, 3D ACIS modeler enables applications that specialize in ship design to import the complex geometry of curve and surface hull forms and create full 3D models. R20 improves the conversion of imported hull data to thin wall structures, resulting in increased end-user productivity and accelerated project time-lines.

R20 is integrated in the Rapid Application Development Framework (RADF) which accelerates 3D application development and improves time-to-market for software providers and software-enabled machine manufacturers. Enhancements are made to 3D Springback, an application component that facilitates a one-step method for springback correction of 3D models within manufacturing applications. R20 includes the following:

Additional product manufacturing information (PMI) support

Offset path generation for CMM applications

Improved tolerant blend creation for mold and die applications

Diagnostic information for better problem resolution

UNICODE support for data import of local languages

Upcoming R20 Webinar

Spatial and Optimal Solutions, a Spatial development partner, will provide a live demo of R20, RADF, and Sculptor™ on Thursday, May 28th, at 10:00am EDT (14:00 UTC). Please register here.

Evaluation Program

3D ACIS® Modeler and 3D InterOp Suite R20 is available for a free evaluation. Evaluation Request forms are available on the company’s website.
