SpaceClaim Engineer

3D for innovative engineering

SpaceClaim Engineer is the world’s fastest and most innovative 3D direct modeler. It enables engineers to easily create concepts and prepare 3D designs for digital prototyping, analysis, and manufacturing. SpaceClaim Engineer is a conceptual design software especially suited for engineers and designers who need a tool that enables simulation-driven product design for:

SpaceClaim Engineer helps engineers interact with CAD geometry in exciting new ways, allowing them to conduct analysis and optimization ahead of the detailed design phase. Without becoming CAD experts, engineers can make dramatic direct edits to 3D models, conceptualize on-the-fly, and communicate quickly and easily with prototyping and manufacturing. This means that engineering teams can finish projects with ease, in a fraction of the time.

See how easy it is to work with Sheet Metal in SpaceClaim.

Sheet Metal

SpaceClaim Engineer includes special sheet metal capabilities for no extra charge. This feature enables automated bend relief, unfold, and ability to work simultaneously in 3D and flat pattern. Sheet metal properties wall thickness, bend radius and K-factor can be assigned. Imported thin-walled models are recognized as sheet metal parts and behave as native SpaceClaim models.

Benefits

SpaceClaim Engineer lets you create and change models more easily than ever before. In addition, you can directly reuse models from major CAD systems, and experience a low cost of ownership, allowing you to design better products and get them to market faster. With SpaceClaim Engineer, you benefit from a:

Short learning curve
Low entry price and total cost-of-ownership
Fast return on investment

By using SpaceClaim, companies encourage up-front and real-time design evaluation, as well as more effective collaboration and communication.
