Design the Way You Think™
SpaceClaim Professional is the first 3D productivity tool for engineers who contribute to the design and manufacture of mechanical products across a broad range of industries. It empowers any contributor to product development to design products more easily than ever before. SpaceClaim Professional is accessible to everyone, from power users to part-time users. It enables you to interact directly with the model as you intend, making even dramatic design edits naturally and independently of how the design was created.
Feature-based modeling is powerful but it’s too complicated for most people to use and doesn't do well the bulk of what they have to get done. Entangled relationships often make the models impossible to understand or edit. SpaceClaim provides a radically different 3D Design technology that empowers you to design you products more easily than ever before. With SpaceClaim’s intuitive 3D design system and streamlined interface, you work directly with what you see on the screen. No planning is required. Edit models from any CAD system directly and efficiently. Edit designs without regard for how the design was created. The many people who use 3D to design and manufacture products can now work with SpaceClaim to interact with the model using simple tools in a familiar environment. SpaceClaim Professional is accessible to power users and part-time users alike.
SpaceClaim can help you:
- If you spend too much time mastering CAD and / or training your users.
- If you know what you want to make but can't navigate a complex and interrelated feature set.
- If you have trouble imagining how a model will change in many possible ways and planning in advance for that regeneration.
- If you are struggling with overly complex models that have many parameters.
- If you need freedom to be creative and can’t afford the time to learn a complex system.
Combining a flexible design environment with a simple GUI, SpaceClaim frees engineers from the constraints of traditional CAD. You work with only a few familiar 2D editing and design commands to create and change models. There are full creation and editing capabilities in any design context: part, assembly, drawing and mark-up. You can work directly with imported data because SpaceClaim works directly with every major CAD system.
SpaceClaim bridges the gap between designers and those in the extended product development team—such as concept, analysis and manufacturing engineers, engineering management and suppliers—who lack either access or the time to master a 3D CAD system. 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. You can edit designs based on your intention, regardless of how the model was created. Experiment freely with design concepts, unrestricted by complex parameters and restraints.
SpaceClaim Professional drives engineering productivity for many different industries and functions:
- Rapid product design
- Concept design and rapid prototyping
- Manufacturing engineering
- CAE / model preparation
- Multi-CAD data exchange
