Products Overview

SpaceClaim is the world’s fastest and most innovative 3D solid modeler. It gives engineers and industrial designers the freedom and flexibility to capture ideas easily, directly edit solid models regardless of their origin, and simplify designs in 3D for analysis, prototyping, and manufacturing. 

SpaceClaim lets extended design and engineering teams work concurrently, finish projects at a fraction of the cost, and accelerate time-to-market. With SpaceClaim 3D design software, you can edit 3D designs based on your intent, regardless of how the model was created, and experiment freely with design concepts, unrestricted by complex parameters and restraints. 

Intuitive tools such as Pull and Move let you directly select portions of the model and put them where you want. The Combine tool slices divides parts into pieces and lets you merge in portions of other designs. The Fill tool cleans up small features and fills holes. Take designs where you want them to go without worrying about how to get there.

Using SpaceClaim 3D Direct Modeling drives innovation and improves collaboration. While feature-based CAD products are very powerful for detailed design work, they are not appropriate for conceptual design, engineering analysis, and simulation-driven design. SpaceClaim is easy to learn and use, cost effective, and very accurate, enabling 3D conceptual design by everyone and driving improved innovation and collaboration.

The product’s open file format and data exchange capabilities makes it easy for people to share designs and ensure that they fit within the existing development process. SpaceClaim supports common formats ACIS, STEP, IGES, ECAD, Rhinoceros, CGR, DWG, DXF, STL, OBJ, XAML, VRML, and 3D PDF (requires Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extended).

SpaceClaim Viewer

Want to share a SpaceClaim design with a client, but your client doesn’t use 3D? Have you ever wanted to measure a model using the shop computer?  Would the CAD team benefit from being able to load your SpaceClaim 3D markups in 3D?  If so, you might want to try the free SpaceClaim Viewer which lets anybody open and measure SpaceClaim designs, drawings, and 3D markups.

Add-on Modules

A variety of add-on modules are available to extend the functionality of SpaceClaim.  Optional modules include data exchange packages for Pro/E, Inventor, CATIA, VDA, Parasolid, SolidWorks, and NX, as well as a TraceParts library and a module to allow Bunkspeed HyperShot interactivity with SpaceClaim.  Get more information.

SpaceClaim 3D Simulation

ALGOR and SpaceClaim offer a complete design-to-analysis solution for smooth and efficient computer-aided engineering (CAE) workflow in a special bundle package offering called SpaceClaim 3D Simulation. With it, engineers can import virtually any solid model geometry and create a neutral file format for input to ALGOR.

SpaceClaim 3D Simulation software lets you create, edit, and prepare models for analysis to verify multi-part, multi-material 3D models with detailed stress analysis. It breaks down design-to-analysis barriers so participants in the design-to-analysis workflow can contribute more efficiently and productively. By allowing more design iterations than ever before, this “click-and-do” software lets contributors get truly creative. Use it to test the behavior of product designs, speed time-to-market, make better, safer products at less cost and deliver the final product comparison to the design originator. With SpaceClaim 3D Simulation, contributors around the organization are now truly part of the workflow team. Get more information.

SpaceClaim also works with other leading engineering analysis solution providers such as ANSYS and CFdesign to ensure our customers have the full integration required to ensure a smooth work flow.  Review these other partnerships.

Licensing options

You can license SpaceClaim as a perpetual license, lease, or use the product with a floating license.

Perpetual: The most popular method, perpetual, allows a license-per-user installed on the user’s computer.

Lease: Also popular, paid via lease pricing.

Floating: Allows installation of the software on a server, from which users can “check out” the license when they want to use it.  This method enables a larger group of people to use SpaceClaim as anyone with access to the server can check out the software for use. 

A SpaceClaim representative will be happy to discuss the most appropriate licensing for your organization’s needs.  Find your SpaceClaim representative.
