BOXX Demos World's Fastest SolidWorks Solutions at SolidWorks World 2011

BOXX Technologies, an supplier of high-performance computing systems for product design, engineering, VFX, animation, advanced visualization, and post production, announced that 3DBOXX XTREME workstations, that provide solutions for running SolidWorks, will demonstrate the 3D CAD software in BOXX booth #306 at SolidWorks World 2011 at the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center in San Antonio, Texas, January 23-26. BOXX will also showcase the GoBOXX 2650 mobile workstation, the world's fastest mobile SolidWorks solution. SolidWorks World features the latest in 3D CAD technology from over 100 exhibitors, as well as networking and educational opportunities.

"3DBOXX workstations and GoBOXX mobile workstations are outstandingplatforms for DS SolidWorks," said Nick Iwaskow, Manager, Alliances, Dassault Systèmes SolidWorks Corp. "As SolidWorks users themselves, BOXX relies on years of knowledge and experience to develop professional hardware solutions that both meet our standards and result in a positive experience for the end-user."

With an over-clocked, six-core Intel® Core™ i7 processor capable of reaching 4.15 GHz, the liquid-cooled 4860 XTREME provides high-powered, multitasking performance for 3D product design, engineering, animation, VFX, and more. Also featured at the BOXX booth is the 3DBOXX 8550 XTREME, a performance-enhanced dual six core Intel® Xeon® workstation. The fastest workstation in the world, 8550 XTREME owns the top two spots on the SolidWorks Performance Test, a SolidWorks website feature which provides users with tests to compare their systems against others.

"3DBOXX XTREME workstations powered by Quadro graphics solutions open up creative opportunities that were never possible before," said Jeff Brown, general manager, Professional Solutions Group, NVIDIA. "The innovative Fermi architecture of our GPUs enables designers and engineers to perform interactive, photorealistic visualization and complex simulation on a single workstation."

The BOXX booth will also include GoBOXX 2650. GoBOXX features a desktop level processor (six core Intel® Core™ i7), allowing users to create on the go without sacrificing professional workstation performance. At the NVIDIA booth #401, a 3DBOXX featuring NVIDIA GPUs will perform interactive ray tracing with SolidWorks and Bunkspeed® SHOT™, while at the Luxology booth #138, an additional 8550 XTREME along with a BOXX renderPRO, will demonstrate Modo and PhotoView 360 within the SolidWorks workflow.

Since 2001, BOXX engineers have relied on SolidWorks applications when designing BOXX hardware chassis, so as an official SolidWorks Solution Partner, BOXX is inviting SolidWorks World attendees to bring their most challenging image on a USB drive for demonstration on their solutions.

"To read about the power and record-setting performance of our solutions is only part of the equation," said Shoaib Mohammad, Director of Marketing and Business Development at BOXX. "Our unique offer provides an opportunity for SolidWorks users to personally experience why BOXX is clearly the professional's choice."
