Concept and Bid Modeling

Support Innovation by Enabling Creativity

Easily visualize and evaluate designs, achieving new levels of creativity and product innovation. SpaceClaim is the only 3D direct modeler designed from the ground up to be the fastest tool available for 3D concept design and problem solving.  

• Use groundbreaking 3D modeling tools to create an extremely rapid modeling environment.  
• Reuse almost any 2D or 3D CAD file and edit it as though it were originally created in SpaceClaim.  
• Have complete control over assembly structures and bill of materials.  

Use 3D Concepts to Win New Business

SpaceClaim helps win more business by delivering more value to customers while enabling them to outsell their competitors. Sales and business development teams increase the amount of business they can close by putting 3D in the hands of their sales and customer relations engineers.

• Merge customer data, supplier components, and in-house CAD data in one environment.
• Create new concept models quickly and easily that you can share with the customers, R&D engineers, CAE analysts, and the CAD team.
• Pinpoint product cost and bid low while maintaining profitability.
• Eliminate surprises late in the design process and last-minute ECO's.
• Collaborate in real-time with your prospects and send them real 3D data they can include in their designs. 
• Bid lower and win more.

Features

3D Modeling Tools Designed for Speed

SpaceClaim Engineer provides engineers with a range of unique and powerful features that create an extremely fast, interactive engineering environment.  

• Gain full control over all common solid modeling operations with unique Pull, Move, Fill, and Combine tools.
• Position geometry precisely without worrying about constraints.
• Draw and edit directly in the cross section so that you can work on complex assemblies without needing to show and hide parts.
• Structure assemblies at any time, without worrying about parent-child relationships. Parts can live in different documents or an entire assembly structure and be stored in one file.
• Copy and paste from old models into new ones, regardless of origin.  

Communicate in Unambiguous 3D

• Prepare models for CAE to understand performance.
• Collaborate across engineering teams.
• Get quotes on parts without depending on the CAD team.
• Create beautiful photorealistic renderings.

Bring Together Disparate Data and Homegrown Tools

Mix and match any 2D and 3D data: wireframe, mesh, surface, ECAD, solid, sketches, images, and movies. Get all of the relevant data in one place and at one time.  

• Open data in most popular 2D and 3D formats, including DXF, DWG, IGES, STEP, ACIS, Parasolid, SolidWorks, Pro/ENGINEER, NX, CATIA, Inventor, JT, Rhino, ECAD, and SketchUp.
• Turn 2D data from spec sheets to 3D.
• Get the CAD team started with an accurate solid model and improve communication of design intent.
• Specify ECOs directly on CAD models with SpaceClaim’s 3D markup environment that tracks changes automatically.
• Use SpaceClaim’s .NET API (application programming interface) to integrate homegrown tools with SpaceClaim’s modern UI.  

SpaceClaim offers the freedom and flexibility for conceptual engineers to design freely,
unencumbered by the complexity of traditional CAD systems.
