SpaceClaim enables users to quickly and easily turn 2D drawings and 3D models into unfolded patterns for sheet metal manufacturing. In either case, the process is extremely tedious and time-consuming and leads to decreased productivity and excessive shop floor downtime. If the decision is made to prep the model themselves, manufacturer’s options are solutions that are either limited in the types of files that can be edited or are limited in their modeling functionality. Without a tool in-house to get the model ready, manufacturers are forced into sending models back and forth with customers. Models need to be unfolded, thickness needs to be adjusted, and other preparations like defeaturing need to be done before the model is sent to the machine. Today, manufacturers receive models that are not ready to be machined into sheet metal. Together, these direct modeling tools let you get your job done without resorting to traditional CAD. The Fill tool cleans up small features and fills holes.
The Combine tool slices and divides parts into pieces and lets you merge in portions from other designs. Intuitive tools such as Pull and Move let you directly select portions of the model and move them where you want. You can take a design where it needs to go, regardless of how it was built or the CAD system in which it was created.
For example, you can reuse data without planning and remix geometry from other designs, even those created in CAD systems. SpaceClaim’s 3D Direct Modeling technology revolutionizes the way you think about working with 3D solid models because it lets you focus on your design without the complexity of traditional CAD. Any engineer can make dramatic edits to models, conceptualize on-the-fly, and communicate quickly and easily with colleagues, customers, and suppliers. SpaceClaim Engineer brings 3D solid modeling to the desktops of engineers and analysts who work in a 3D world but don’t want to become experts in traditional feature-based CAD systems.
