SpaceClaim Overview • SpaceClaim is the first easy-to-use and affordable 3D tool that can be used across extended product teams • Unique & simple user interface • Next Generation direct modeling technology • Vast increase in access and use of 3D data across the business • SpaceClaim’s benefits include • Full CAD data interoperability (in-built proprietary engines) • Minimal training and highly accelerated productivity curve • Additional in-built workflow specific tools for multiple engineering environments ( e.g. Sheet Metal, CAE, Manufacturing, Reverse Engineering) Lowest Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of any competitive CAD Solution “We identified the need for a 3D design tool for engineers that was easy to deploy and use, didn’t require intensive training and yet was precise, powerful, and worked with our existing CAD and CAE tools. SpaceClaim met the key requirements of our global business units .” Andreas Hintz, Manager of Enterprise CAD/CAE/CAM, TE Connectivity TE connectivity
SpaceClaim: Fastest 3D Design Tool • SpaceClaim provides the industry's easiest-to-use industrial-grade modeling solution (20x more intuitive than traditional CAD!) • SpaceClaim allows users to learn rapidly and be productive immediately – differential in the market-place • SpaceClaim is the best modeler for many design and engineering tasks (full CAD strategy or as complement to historic 2D or 3D investment) • It’s all about the user interface: Simple logical UI: based on 4 commands Tools to repair flawed CAD geometries Direct modeling to edit & optimise designs “SpaceClaim lets me bring designs to fruition four to five times faster than previous methods.” Paul Gateau, Founder, SYNGAS
What is Direct Modeling? • Direct modeling is the interactive manipulation of B-Reps • Boundary-representation solid models – the same shape representation used by feature modelers • But: • Direct modeling works by dynamically changing any requested modifications to geometry • Redrawing at 30 frames/second – orders of magnitude more model changes undertaken • Provides fast and flexible 3D modeling • CAD-neutral – only dealing with generic geometry providing true interoperability • Dramatic reduction in complexity of creating & dealing with 3D • Can provide a full CAD strategy, but also often adds value to manufacturers’ existing investment in feature-based CAD
Don’t Just Take Our Word >70% have no classroom training 89% report very/easy to learn Average productivity = 6-fold “SpaceClaim is an enabling tool. Any idiot can use it. It’s all graphics-driven. It’s in complete opposition to how software usually works. On a per-action basis, it always saves us hours, sometimes days, of lost time.” - Steven Tartaglia, GM at Southern Star Engineering Group Source: SpaceClaim Customer Survey 2012
