Anark Licenses Tech Soft 3D Hoops 3D Exchange™ for Anark Core™
Anark Corporation and Tech Soft 3D announced that Anark will add support for several popular 3D CAD formats provided by Tech Soft 3D's HOOPS™ 3D Exchange to Anark Core™.
The integration of HOOPS 3D Exchange (HOOPS 3DX) into Anark Core continues Anark's commitment to deliver cost-effective, easy-to-use authoring and publishing software for manufacturing companies. With Anark Core, customers can create fit-for-purpose manufacturing documents that support critical supply-chain processes: 3D PDF technical data packages with MBD, animated work instructions, first-article inspections, RFPs/RFQs, virtual prototyping, and more.
"In addition to the native 3D CAD formats already supported by Anark Core, we are pleased to offer our customers the industry-leading CAD format translation capabilities provided by Tech Soft 3D's HOOPS 3D Exchange," said Stephen Collins, CEO of Anark. "The performance and quality of TS3D's importers and exporters will provide a significant increase in speed and reliability to our customers, thereby increasing the overall efficiency of Anark Core."
"Now that Adobe has committed to support the 3D PDF format for decades to come, combined with the formation of the new 3D PDF Consortium of world-class 3rd party software companies, we are seeing more and more customers asking for native 3D PDF manufacturing documents as a way to reduce their dependency on proprietary CAD and PLM data formats," said Scott Collins, SVP of Product Development. "For example, our capability to transform heavy, proprietary 3D CAD with dimensions and tolerances (MBD) into lightweight 3D PDFs was a key factor in the DOD's decision to select Anark for its Model Based Enterprise initiatives."
Anark will be hosting a webinar titled "Anark Core 4 and the Model Based Enterprise" that will discuss how Anark can help manufacturers unleash their model based design data to create fit-for-purpose 3D PDF manufacturing documents including technical data packages with MBD, animated work instructions, first-article inspection documents, and RFPs/RFQs. This event will take place on Wednesday, June 1, 2011 at 11AM Pacific Daylight Time, 1PM Central Daylight Time, and 2PM Eastern Daylight Time. Pre-event registration is now open.
