To maintain a competitive edge, manufacturers must be able to collaborate with anyone, anywhere, anytime. Meaning, businesses must streamline the flow of product data between all information workers throughout the extended enterprise (business, suppliers, and customers) and not just within their engineering group. Manufacturers must allow for dynamic, automatic, and repeatable enterprise processes, all while ensuring their product information is secure both internally and externally.
3DViewStation
3DViewStation is a universal software to view and analyze CAD models. Key strengths are its ability to read large models and assemblies quickly and a very intuitive user interface. The suite The is available in four solutions:
3DViewStation Desktop is completely autonomous. You can view, analyze andannotate models to share within your company or with your partners. The import, export and display of major CAD systems such as CATIA V5, NX or ProE / Creo are supported. This solution has the most advanced tools for analyzing CAD models like the comparison, clash detection, thickness ...
3DViewStation ActiveX can integrate 3DViewStation's key features for navigation, visualization and measure in your PLM applications.
3DViewStation WebViewer/OnVidus is the ideal solution for large-scale environnments. The centralized server converts CAD data into a light format 3DVS or a 3D PDF format. On User side, no installation is required. You can access your CAD data from anywhere with just a internet browser from your laptop or your mobile.
3DViewStation Automation Server is a highly flexible and scalable application server to automate processes and CAD translation.
Spinfire Professional
SpinFire products read native CAD files representing both 2D and 3D versions of data. SpinFire is able to distill this data into a very compact, lightweight form called .3D that can be used for viewing, measuring, markup and other interrogative functions. It’s a great solution for a variety of different use models from product data visualization and supply chain collaboration to intellectual property management and product innovation management. There are 4 complementary products:
- SpinFire™ Reader
- SpinFire Professional™
- Spinfire for Microsoft Office™
- Spinfire CAD2CAD™
SpinFire Reader enables viewing of CAD models in Actify’s compressed and secure .3D format – free of charge and without a CAD system. Reader is perfect for those users who mainly need to view and share design data previously import using Spinfire Professional.
SpinFire Professional can import more than 30 different file formats including PDF. SpinFire applications can load multiple files into a single, secure .3D file. A typical CAD file is reduced by 90 to 95% of the original size enabling for easier transfer. The .3D format is what all SpinFire applications read and use. This capability acts as a project capsule with individual internal workspaces for each file loaded. Or users can import multiple models into a single workspace as a combined assembly. If users have a model developed by one CAD system and receive a second file from a different CAD system, then SpinFire can load those two models into a single working assembly enabling fast review and communication. The .3D file encapsulates multiple models, drawings, PDF files or other supported documents allowing the user to work with each through internal worksheets (workspaces). The customer does not need to be concerned with tracking or shipping multiple files since they are combined within the single file.
Spinfire for Microsoft Office enables users to embed static and interactive 3D and 2D design data directly into Word, Excel, PowerPoint documents and Outlook emails. Now knowledge workers throughout the enterprise and supply chain can easily obtain and use data for their individual purposes.
SpinFire CAD2CAD Translator enables multi-CAD data exchange support. With CAD2CAD, you can work more efficiently by smoothly and accurately converting multiple 3D formats. Your team will benefit from the richness of the data that is translated, including visualization (tessellations), product structure, precise B-rep, Product Manufacturing Information (PMI) as well as attributes and metadata. CAD2CAD enables you to share and integrate your product data into a varietyof workflows by accurately converting it into common CAD formats.
DraftView
DraftView reads your CADDS or Personal Designer data directly, without requiring a CAD license. Designs are displayed completely, as they appeared in the native CAD system, with all 3D, 2D entities.
In many cases the solution for legacy CAD data is translation into other CAD systems. DraftView can export drawings using the popular DXF format. With a proven DXF translator, DraftView uses the latest technology to create superior DXF translations. DXF exports can be done individually as needed, or in "batch" by the thousands. As a CAD viewer, DraftView's distinct advantage over other translators is that you can view precisely what is being translated.
DraftView has an intuitive, easy-to-use interface. It can be installed and licensed on individual PCs, or "floated" from a network server.
