Established engineering software business LimitState has released a new software application, LimitState:FIX, which automatically fixes 3D model files. This simplifies the process of preparing 3D models for printing. Utilising the unique Polygonica technology from engineering software technology firm MachineWorks, the software promises to transform the productivity of professionals in additive manufacturing and 3D printing. 3D models that fail to print is one of the most frustrating issues for designers, engineers, jewellers and 3D bureaux. It wastes significant working time for many 3D businesses and is a keenly felt business issue. LimitState:FIX solves this problem. It provides a ‘one click’ automatic fix solution for 3D STL files, thereby enabling them to be printed. When the user opens an STL file in LimitState:FIX, the file is analysed, and can then be automatically fixed. Specifically, LimitState:FIX analyses and repairs holes in solids and fixes defective mesh files. It closes solids, fixes polygon orientation, removes self-intersections and

ZWCAD Design unveiled an interview with two customers in Korea, conducted by Nitrosoft, the authorized Korean distributor of ZWCAD+. During the interview, FME and Crucial Tech highly recognized the excellent DWG compatibility, easy-to-use functions and cost-effectiveness of ZWCAD+, which delivered huge productivity and profit gains for their design projects. Crucial Tech Selected ZWCAD+ for Excellent DWG Compatibility and Functionality Crucial Tech, one of the leading manufacturers of electronic components in Korea making products, such as the world-first Optical Track Pad and LED flash module, which are highly precise and complicated, is very cautious about its CAD choice. Having tested two CAD programs and found their interfaces too different from its current CAD software and that DWG files cannot be accurately opened and displayed, it turned to ZWCAD+ which completely meets its DWG compatibility, functionality, and design efficiency requirements. “In order to seek a better CAD alternative, I have tested two programs,” said Mr. Han, engineer of
