About SpaceClaim

SpaceClaim was founded in September 2005 by 3D and design software visionaries. SpaceClaim leads the 3D Direct Modeling market by delivering break-through tools that dramatically improve direct design and engineering processes. The Company’s goal is to lead the market for direct modeling software, expanding the use of 3D in conceptual design, CAE and model preparation, industrial design, and manufacturing.

SpaceClaim represents the most significant technology advancement in 3D engineering in more than 10 years, having been created from the ground up specifically to give engineers and industrial designers the freedom and flexibility to capture ideas easily, edit solid models regardless of origin, and prepare designs for analysis, prototyping, and manufacturing. SpaceClaim enables an extended design team to work concurrently, finish projects at a fraction of the cost, and accelerate time-to-market.

Market

Now is the time for SpaceClaim’s 3D Direct Modeling solutions. Penetration of traditional history-based 3D CAD is very low among more than 15 million engineers involved in manufacturing worldwide, with fewer than one million estimated 3D users in the $5 billion mechanical CAD (MCAD) market. Three to five million engineers could benefit today from the use of 3D tools for design engineering, simulation and analysis, and manufacturing engineering. Ensuring that engineers and product designers are able to work in 3D is a top priority for leading engineering and product development companies worldwide.

Products

On their fourth release, the SpaceClaim Direct Modeling solutions were developed from the ground up to specifically give engineers and industrial designers the freedom and flexibility to capture ideas easily, edit solid models regardless of origin and simplify designs for analysis, prototyping and manufacturing. With a significant advance ahead of other 3D Direct Modeling solutions, SpaceClaim has been shipping since 2007 and enables an extended design team to work concurrently, finish projects at a fraction of the cost, and accelerate time-to-market.

SpaceClaim’s solutions include SpaceClaim Engineer, a fast, simple, and powerful 3D direct modeler for top-down design, 3D layout, conceptual engineering, and model preparation for simulation and analysis. SpaceClaim Style brings 3D design to industrial designers and product stylists and enables them to work collaboratively with their clients and the entire development team.

Benefits

SpaceClaim helps businesses increase innovation by the expanded use of 3D throughout the product lifecycle; the performance of conceptual analysis prior to detailed design; the improvement of consensus across engineering teams through the sharing of concept models; and the reduction of costly iterations with CAD teams. SpaceClaim is easy to learn and use, cost effective and very accurate, enabling 3D conceptual design by everyone.

Management

SpaceClaim’s world-class board and management team combines deep experience in 3D and design software – including the inventors of feature-based modeling – with proven track records in successfully bringing new design software to market. The company is backed by top-tier venture capital firms including Borealis Ventures, Kodiak Venture Partners, and North Bridge Venture Partners. The management team includes Chris Randles, President and CEO; Gregory Stott, CFO and VP of Finance and Operations; Bernie Buelow, VP of Corporate Marketing; Rich Moore, VP of Business Development; and Daniel Dean, Senior VP of R&D.  Details on our leadership team.
