TransMagic Helps Superlift Raise Productivity
TransMagic Inc. announced that Superlift Suspension Systems has integrated TransMagic into its design process.
Superlift is leveraging the power and flexibility of TransMagic software to exchange 3D data between differing computer-aided-design (CAD) systems and relied on TransMagic to complete products for the 2008 SEMA show. Using TransMagic, designers visually select, automatically repair and group the needed portions of 3D CAD data from automotive OEMs before importing into SolidWorks. Superlift engineers use the improved data to more efficiently create new product designs.
"TransMagic has made it possible to open any neutral or native CAD file we receive, quickly isolate, repair and retrieve what we need," said Kevin Dill, Product Development Lead Engineer, Superlift. "Repairing damaged files and grouping what we need prior to importing has saved us lots of time. Our time is now better spent working with clean, manageable files that we can rely on as we design new products."
"TransMagic makes a big difference for our customers by allowing them access to CAD files from multiple sources for use in their preferred 3D application," said Todd Reade, President of TransMagic. "By integrating our unique all-in-one data exchange application into the design process, customers can quickly improve productivity and get their products to market faster."
Superlift has reduced reverse engineering processes and file re-creation by integrating TransMagic. Quality is also improved since new product designs are based on original OEM data rather than measurements taken in the field.
TransMagic reduces the costs of translating, repairing and repurposing 3D CAD files to any design and manufacturing applications. Visit http://www.transmagic.com for a free trial.
