Spatial Advances Handling of Imported 3D Geometry

Improves End-User Productivity with 3D Applications
BROOMFIELD, Colo.--(Business Wire)--
Spatial Corp., a leading provider of 3D development software components for
engineering, design and manufacturing applications, today announces availability
of 3D ACIS Modeler and 3D InterOp Suite Release 20 (R20). The new release
advances industry-leading capabilities for handling import and modification of
data within 3D applications, significantly improving end-user productivity and
streamlining work-flows in areas such as specialized design, analysis,
manufacturing, and inspection. R20 further promotes an application`s value in
the product development process by enabling high-quality data exchange and near
immediate usage of CAD models for application-specific needs.

As an example, 3D ACIS modeler enables applications that specialize in ship
design to import the complex geometry of curve and surface hull forms and create
full 3D models. R20 improves the conversion of imported hull data to thin wall
structures, resulting in increased end-user productivity and accelerated project
time-lines.

R20 is integrated in the Rapid Application Development Framework (RADF) which
accelerates 3D application development and improves time-to-market for software
providers and software-enabled machine manufacturers. Enhancements are made to
3D Springback, an application component that facilitates a one-step method for
springback correction of 3D models within manufacturing applications. R20
includes the following:

* Additional product manufacturing information (PMI) support
* Offset path generation for CMM applications
* Improved tolerant blend creation for mold and die applications
* Diagnostic information for better problem resolution
* UNICODE support for data import of local languages

Upcoming R20 Webinar

Spatial and Optimal Solutions, a Spatial development partner, will provide a
live demo of R20, RADF, and Sculptor on Thursday, May 28th, at 10:00am EDT
(14:00 UTC). Please registerhere.

Evaluation Program

3D ACIS Modeler and 3D InterOp Suite R20 is available for a free evaluation.
Evaluation Request forms are available on the company`s website.
