Capvidia Showcases Productivity Tools at 2007 Booth # 809

Leuven, Belgium, Friday, January 26, 2007 - Capvidia will showcase productivity tools for SolidWorks including data import and data translation, complex mold design, reverse engineering, 3D model verification, complex offset generation, and mesh repair. The suite of offered products includes FormatWorks, FaceWorks, PDQWorks, and 3DTransVidia/SW.

FormatWorks 2007 - 3D Translation with Repair and Healing
FormatWorks is the only Certified Gold Product for SolidWorks users who need to import CAD data correctly and reliably to SolidWorks. FormatWorks has become the standard solution for SolidWorks users for data translation, especially for CATIA models.

FaceWorks – Powerful tools for Complex Mold Design
FaceWorks is a Certified Gold Product, which extends the SolidWorks mold engineering capabilities. It provides mechanisms to automatically generate the parting line, parting surface, core/cavity, and the design of inserts. Using solid modeling concepts and part associative functions FaceWorks reduces engineering time and drastically simplifies the most complex mold design process.
 

PDQWorks - Your Personal Design Assistant
PDQWorks (Product Data Quality) becomes your personal design assistant enabling you to design quality parts and verify existing part quality to optimize the downstream applications such as CAM, CAE, and data exchange.

PDQWorks provides dynamic quality model verification during the design process in SolidWorks. Each model entity is automatically checked so that data quality guidelines for topology, geometry, and manufacturability are satisfied. PDQWorks supports the data quality guidelines and standards outlined by the automotive and aerospace industries. You design high quality 3D models with PDQWorks.

3DTransVidia SW extends SolidWorks with a set of powerful tools for the following application areas:

• Data Translation – Provides an efficient workflow for import of large complex data sets
• Offsets – Large distance offsets (+/- 70 mm) with high accuracy
• Reverse Engineering - Automatic conversion of point clouds and meshes (STL, VRML) to SolidWorks models. Alternative solution to ScanTo3D application working with NextEngine device
• Mesh Repair Tools – Functions to repair triangulated models such as STL and VRML
• Advanced Surface Approximation - Special surface approximation functions for automotive and aerospace industry
