Customer Quotes
"For turning customer geometry into flat patterns, I've never seen anything faster than SpaceClaim."
Jim Fitch
General Manager
Elite Companies
“After a very thorough evaluation, we found SpaceClaim Engineer’s 3D
creation and editing capabilities, and especially its sheet metal
features, combined with its fast learning curve and ease of use, to be
the best solution for helping our customers manipulate geometry for
manufacturing and get their products to market faster.”
Burke Doar
Vice President of Sales and Marketing
TRUMPF, Inc.
"With SpaceClaim, I can turn proposals and estimates around quicker because I can translate easily, measure, and show the problem areas, and then present a nice process for our customer to see as well as cost it out on the same sheet. The process is twice as quick as using traditional CAD software and I can do it myself without having to tie up other resources that Catia and NX require. SpaceClaim is a great compliment to the other software products we use."
Don Mekkes
Director of Sales, Program Management and Cost Estimation
Modern Tooling Concepts
"Before
we used SpaceClaim, we had to go to the CAD team every time we needed a
change. Now with SpaceClaim, the process is speeded up significantly
because we're able to test the changes ourselves."
Sue Stroope
NVH and CAE Manager
Borg Warner, TorqTransfer Systems Business Unit
"Often
I had Models for analysis we couldn't get to at all because it took
forever. Now, I am saving at least 10 man hours per model analyzed and I
am able to get results more quickly than I had anticipated"
