This rings true whether the user is analyzing the models, communicating design changes across the environment, making changes immediately and without repercussions, and all without worrying about how the model was built. This complements existing CAD production environments and is critical to most product development workflows. With SpaceClaim Professional 2008, designs from every major CAD system can be edited directly and used as if they had originated in SpaceClaim. Users are faced with receiving data from other systems that they cannot edit directly, and then waste their time recreating native geometry, so that they can be sure it changes correctly. This is because traditional CAD tools are not designed to work with each other’s data.

When data is passed among multiple CAD sources and destinations (departments, systems, partners, and applications,) problems working with other groups’ designs are inevitable. With SpaceClaim Professional 2008, users interact directly with the model just as they like, making even dramatic design edits naturally, independent of how they or anyone else got the model to its current state. The very strengths that allow design variations to be planned can become hindrances to design explorations and conceptualizing within these systems. It can be difficult to collaborate on other people’s designs because of the mix of accidental and seemingly desired but inevitably complex, inter-relationships of the model. Users who are challenged by the limitations of existing CAD tools can now design the way they think, faster than ever before, using SpaceClaim’s powerful and intuitive user interface.įor many parts and assemblies that designers create, existing CAD production systems can get in the way. This latest release represents a huge leap in product functionality with significant feature enhancements, and focuses on expanded uses for SpaceClaim: rapid product design, multi-CAD model re-use and design in 2D. CONCORD, MA - SpaceClaim Corporation announced the availability of SpaceClaim Professional 2008, the most advanced version of its intuitive 3D design tool – empowering users to create and edit models faster than ever before.
