 | Tips and Tricks for Reverse Engineering and Data Reconstruction
Have you ever had to work with scanned data in CAD? Has your customer
ever sent you an STL or graphics-only version of a file? Have you ever
needed to perform a simulation or optimization, but you only have
scanned data? Maybe you even have files that have been reverse
engineered to solids, but now you need to use them as a starting point
for a new design?
SpaceClaim is a low cost CAD tool that makes it easy to turn
scanned data in to solids and get them where they need to go. In this
webinar, we’ll show you how to: -
Get to a solid 3-5 times faster by drawing on top of a scan -
Turn a CAD part saved as STL into a precise solid without being a CAD expert -
Tweak reverse engineered solids to meet reference measurements -
Work with solids created by specialized reverse-engineering tools, such as Geomagic -
Get parts prepared for simulation, machining or 3D printing faster than ever before View the webinar |

SpaceClaim on the Shop Floor: Tricks for Integrating 2D and 3D data Have you ever noticed that some CAD vendors seem to think that 2D data
doesn’t exist, and that everything must be done in 3D? At SpaceClaim,
we know that many manufacturing workflows rely on 2D, and that 2D
drawings often need to get integrated with 3D models from other CAD
systems. SpaceClaim has a ton of useful tools that solve every day
2D/3D shop floor hassles, and now we’re showing them off all in one
place. In particular, we’ll show how to: -
Clean dirty 2D imports for design and MFG -
Easily go from 2D DWG/DXF to 3D in a blink of an eye -
Go from a dumb solid from any CAD system to a printed hole table in ten clicks -
Make a sheet metal flat pattern from an imported CAD concept -
Import a v5 or JT part with PMI and turn it into a detailed 2D drawing you can print View the webinar

SpaceClaim and SigmaNEST: The Fastest Path to CNC Sheet Metal Production At SpaceClaim and SigmaTEK, we’re committed to keeping your machines running. That’s why we’ve partnered to integrate our sheet metal design and nesting technologies, creating the fastest path possible to CNC-ready drawings. This webinar will show you how to quickly create or convert CAD data from anywhere, create flat patterns, and optimize nesting for sheet metal and other material cut on plasma, laser, punch, oxyfuel, waterjet, router, knife, tube-pipe and combination cutting machines. In particular, we will show: -
Converting generic or native CAD data to proper, optimized sheet metal models, even if it wasn’t designed correctly -
Converting 2D designs to solid 3D sheet metal -
Automatically detecting and healing errors in CAD data -
Creating nested assemblies of flat patterns, saving material -
Optimizing results prior to CNC View the webinar |

Using SketchUp for mechanical design? Have you seen SpaceClaim? Everybody loves SketchUp’s ease-of-use and incredibly fast modeling tools. In fact, we loved them so much, we built a product specifically for mechanical design that we often hear called, “SketchUp on steroids.”
SpaceClaim works a lot like SketchUp: you push and pull on geometry and make new designs ridiculously fast. But SpaceClaim also handles precise geometry suitable for manufacturing and integrates into corporate CAD infrastructure. If you’ve ever wished that mechanical CAD could be more like SketchUp, you will probably like this webinar. We'll show: -
How the SpaceClaim UI makes it possible to have SketchUp-like tools with real, precise, CAD geometry -
Reuse data from any CAD system, including SketchUp and the Google 3D Warehouse -
Improve the fidelity of SketchUp data for manufacturing, rapid prototyping, and simulation -
Create precise mechanical drawings -
Integrate SpaceClaim designs into existing mechanical CAD and PLM environments View the webinar |
