Software for manipulating 3D CAD data
Deskartes is introducing 3Data Expert software version 8.0 for 3D printing, rapid prototyping and simulation data transfer and manipulation. 3Data Expert is Deskartes' offering for manufacturing engineers needing to create and manipulate faceted models.
The main emphasis with release 8.0 is the new user interface, data structures and context-sensitive repair help that allows fully interactive and effective 3D model repair and manipulation. Simultaneously Deskartes is releasing new versions to Dimensions Expert and View Expert software tools.
3Data Expert software converts surface data in Iges, Catia, Pro/E, Step and UGS files to solid STL, ZPR or VRML files. The software also detects and automatically repairs various mistakes in the STL, VRML and ZPR models.
Mr Ismo Mäkelä, CEO of Deskartes, comments: “Deskartes 3Data Expert now offers really easy-to-use model fixing for different 3D printing systems. New viewing, selection and context sensitive help make the work almost fun. Also, different levels for error reporting allow the users to tune their software according to the receiving system: 3D colour printing versus 3d printing or simulation software”.
3Data Expert is part of the Deskartes Expert Series software product family, which offers wide functionality to accelerate the design and manufacturing process in new product development at different levels, from start to finish.
For 3D CAD fixing, 3Data Expert enables analysis, triangulation and geometric repair of 3D models for 3D printing, rapid prototyping and simulation originating from arbitrary CAD/CAE/CAM systems. Dimensions Expert offers basic automatic repair and model splitting for 3D printing. View Expert is for viewing, measuring and communicating 3D CAD files. Design Expert is an easy-to-use freeform 3D CAD modelling and photorealistic rendering.
