SpaceClaim 是世界首个自然方式3D 设计系统 – 用户可以比以往任何时候更快的速度进行模型的创建和编辑。不同于基于特征的参数化CAD系统,SpaceClaim 能够让您设计如您所思;以你最直观的方式对模型直接编辑,自然流畅地进行不可思议的模型操作,无需关注模型的建立过程。
SpaceClaim 作为全球运行最快且最有创意的3D建模解决方案,日前推出了其第四代产品,SpaceClaim Engineer 和 SpaceClaim Style。这些直接建模工具象征了这10多年来3D工程领域最显著的技术进步,从简单发展到能够专供工程师和工业设计师自由灵活操作,快速捕捉灵感,可以随意编辑实体模型而不用考虑坐标原点,并为分析,原型,制造做设计准备。
SpaceClaim支持标准数据交换格式如ACIS, STEP, IGES, ECAD, Rhinoceros®, DWG, DXF, STL, OBJ, XAML, VRML, 3D PDF,包括与Bunkspeed® 、HyperShot®的 的交互。安装附加模块后,SpaceClaim Engineer还可以直接导入并编辑Pro/ENGINEER®, Autodesk® Inventor®, CATIA® v4 and v5, VDA, Parasolid®, SolidWorks®, JT™, and NX® 的文件。
SpaceClaim 的建模工具可以在零件或装配的任意截面视图、二维工程图以及任意3D视图下工作,甚至是SpaceClaim 的3D标注环境下工作。用户可以在熟悉的2D设计视图下通过一个布局或对2D元素进行回转、对称等操作即可轻松得到三维的部件。
用户能够用任意相交平面剖分模型,用以进行设计优化。替换零件的表面为另一曲面而无需对零件的其他部分进行重构,SpaceClaim鼓励真正创新的设计。
SpaceClaim 2012 introduces significant new capabilities in model preparation for simulation, manufacturing, data-geometry reuse. These new capabilities build on SpaceClaim’s accessibility, ease-of-use, and low total-cost-of-ownership, enabling even more engineers, designers, and analysts to complete their projects with SpaceClaim’s innovative 3D direct modeling technology.
SpaceClaim, the leader in easy and accessible 3D CAD for engineering, mechanical design, and manufacturing, announced the availability of SpaceClaim Engineer 2012. This release introduces significant new capabilities in reverse engineering, model preparation for simulation, manufacturing, and data reuse. These new capabilities build on SpaceClaim’s accessibility, ease-of-use, and low total-cost-of-ownership, enabling even more engineers, designers, and analysts to complete their projects with SpaceClaim’s innovative 3D direct modeling technology.
The combination of ease-of-use and lower cost ensures that the total cost of ownership of SpaceClaim is less than 50% of the cost of traditional CAD products. With this release, SpaceClaim continues to expand into markets where its unique tools address previously unsolved problems and where SpaceClaim Engineer meets users’ complete CAD needs. SpaceClaim continues to penetrate markets where traditional CAD is the wrong product for basic engineering tasks, and where ease-of-use, interoperability, and maturity are required to enable engineers, designers, and machinists to work in 3D.
New capabilities in SpaceClaim 2012 include:
- New SketchUp conversion detects regions where SketchUp’s approximated, facetted geometry was derived from analytic surfaces such as cylinders and cones, and automatically replaces them with precise geometry.
- Multiple solid editing capabilities, such as cone manipulation, surface pivoting and distance-by-angle chamfers, extend SpaceClaim’s lead in direct modeling.
- Smart tools for manufacturing, such as recognition and editing of standard holes, make SpaceClaim increasingly practical for machine shops and detailed design.
- Significant performance improvements to large parts and drawings further confirms that SpaceClaim is the fastest 3D direct modeler available.
- A new lightweight viewer and Microsoft extensions that allow viewing of models from compatible programs such as Microsoft Outlook and Explorer, as well as from a new standalone application.
- JT with PMI export, in addition to existing capabilities, makes SpaceClaim the most comprehensive JT editor on the market today.
- Detailing improvements including exploded views, aligned and unfolded sections, arc length dimensions, text fitting and alignment tools, and BOM templates let more users create detailed drawings in SpaceClaim.
- A new set of 2D and 3D curve repair tools facilitate working with existing drawings and wireframe data and converting them to solid models.
- Several sheet metal enhancements representing unprecedented depth, including mitered flanges, faster unfolding, weld tabs, and improved identification and interaction with sheet metal features.
- Environment reflection and textures enable users to work interactively on more realistic looking models.
- Usability improvements, such as improved selection rendering and reduced selection flashing, make it easier to work on large models.
- Flexible configuration and IT-friendly options facilitate large rollouts to corporate, government, and educational customers.
- Improved interoperability with support for KeyShot 3, Creo 1.0, SolidWorks 2012, and Inventor 2012 ensures compatibility with data from colleagues, customers and suppliers.
- The improved batch file translation utility now supports all formats that SpaceClaim can read and write.
- Expanded API coverage now includes access to more sheet metal parameters, drawing view renderings, and advanced mass properties.
