Using SpaceClaim

A Quantum Leap in Productivity

With SpaceClaim Professional 2008, users who are challenged by the constraints and limitations of feature-based technology can now design the way they think, easier than ever before, though a powerful and intuitive user interface.

The problem

Engineers and designers constantly cope with data that is passed among multiple CAD sources and destinations. As people work with other groups’ designs, they inevitably create problems because traditional CAD tools are not designed to work with other data. Users receive data from other systems that they cannot edit directly, then waste time recreating native geometry so that they can be sure it changes correctly.

SpaceClaim's solution

With SpaceClaim Professional 2008, engineers can edit directly designs from every major CAD system and use them as if they had originated in SpaceClaim. This approach complements existing CAD production environments and is critical to most product development workflows. It works regardless of whether the user is analyzing the models, communicating design changes across the environment, or making changes immediately. It's all done without repercussions and without worrying about how the model was built.

SpaceClaim enables users to design products more rapidly and achieve overall engineering productivity in:

"SpaceClaim and Rhino provide powerful design and editing tools that have reduced significantly the time it takes to get an idea from the screen to the shop floor. They saved us a full day on our last project. The ease with which a file can be transferred between the two products makes it painless to start a model in one package then take advantage of the other's strong points. You can manipulate the model freely without worrying about editing sketches and pass it back and forth, using the product that gets the job done most efficiently. The combination of SpaceClaim and Rhino gives us a competitive advantage at a very reasonable price."
