Optimal Solutions Releases Sculptor 3.3 for 3D Data Reuse

Optimal Solutions Software, supplier of 3D real-time morphing and shape optimization technology, is proud to announce the release of Sculptor version 3.3. Working closely with their customers to identify features and improvements they have made Sculptor easier to use and more powerful than ever. This release of Sculptor also brings with it a restructuring of the Sculptor product line to better align with customer demand as follows:

"We are pleased to release the Sculptor 3.3 offering a broader use of the ASD morphing technology for efficient reuse of 3D Data for better designs and improved shape optimization capabilities. Sculptor 3.3 leverages the real-time morphing technology for a wide range of applications from modification of STL data to 3D shape optimization with integrated simulations." says Dr. Mark Landon CTO of Optimal Solutions Software. "The new improvements to the optimization capabilities allow for real-time traversing of the design space, with the design objective functions being updated simultaneously with deformation of the model. Sculptor+ Optimize helps find optimal designs and understanding of the complex relationships between the shape change variables and the design functions near the optimal design to be able to determine the robustness of the design. The new restructured Sculptor will allow customers to tailor Sculptor for their own particular uses much more easily. Those interested in our ASD (Arbitrary Shape Deformation - Morphing) technology for use in their own software can now license our powerful ASD API toolkit."

Sculptor version 3.3 represents a major breakthrough in the ability to reuse 3D data for creating better designs leveraging the highly efficient Arbitrary Shape Deformation (ASD) real-time morphing technology. The power of this unique morphing technology has been used for years for 3D shape optimization for those who are interested in peak performance. This release of the Sculptor technology continues to improve the optimization capabilities but also makes the powerful ASD morphing technology available for easily exploring design changes for an extensive range of 3D models.

Here's a quick highlight of some of the new capabilities in the Sculptor 3.3 family of products.
