Join Us for ANSYS SpaceClaim Technology Day!

Join us at Technology Day to find out more about ANSYS SpaceClaim. This revolutionary software was created by like-minded engineers who understand the value of easy editing, interactive design tools, and low cost-to-ownership.  We will have two ANSYS SpaceClaim representatives on site along with the Solid Technologies team, who will talk to attendees about the advantages of ANSYS SpaceClaim.

This is a rare opportunity to learn about ANSYS SpaceClaim in our interactive tutorials and design sessions.  Those who attend can experience ANSYS SpaceClaim on a multi-touch screen. Attendees can enter their name for a chance to win a ANSYS SpaceClaim door prize and participate in our contest for best design.

If you purchase ANSYS SpaceClaim on Technology Day you will qualify for a very special promotion.  Shhh, it’s a secret but you can find out by calling us before you come.

Before you go, make sure to check out our in house 3D Printers and Scanners from Zcorporation. Come join us on June 28^th 2011, for this very exciting look into ANSYS SpaceClaim design technology!

ANSYS SpaceClaim allows users to think in 3D, not relying on feature-based history. Sketch-oriented drawing tools makes drawing simple, and pulling it into 3D, allows you to edit geometry, quickly and directly. You can work with what you have, importing 2D drawings and images, 3D meshes, surfaces, and solids. You can create 3D shapes by drawing on top of scanned-in, imported hand drawings.  Along with an existing 2D sketching functionality, ANSYS SpaceClaim’s new toolkitcan be used to create points, lines and splines in 3D space.

ANSYS SpaceClaim has a range of sketching tools that enable users to make dramatic changes to a 3D model and work it into different shapes. You can merge it all, bind it together, and remix it into something new.  You can Pull and Move essential features to the creation of any design. Pull will directly move geometry, points, edges, lines, and features.  Move essentially shifts pieces or the solid whole. You can create rounds by simply pulling on an edge. You can re-blend as you tweak and modify your design.  You can change the size at any time. You can reate 3-dimensial designs that are anti-aliased, shaded, with hidden line views.

ANSYS SpaceClaim is ideal for redesign work. With different colors and materials you can create a tangible and realistic looking model. Or, rather than being built from scratch, a product designed for one manufacturing process can easily be adapted for another. Because of ANSYS SpaceClaim’s flexibility, form and function requirements are still met. ANSYS SpaceClaim removes the hassle of the traditional design process, now the user can immediately dive in and start drawing in 3D.

Are you using zp® 150 performance composite in your 3D printer? Zp® 150 material is necessary for any solid print, as it is the best powder system available. It is best to have zp® 150 performance composite set as the default powder on your system. No more choosing between powders,  the zp® 150 does it all.

Axle printed with new composite material

It is 90% whiter than zp 131, has a 125% larger color gamut than zp 131, and has highest green strength available. Green strength is the solidity, substance, and sturdiness of a part right out of the printer before any infiltrant is applied. It is now possible to create and print multifaceted parts with complex details that require the highest strength.

Parts with many intricate and tiny pieces, such as the axles pictured above, require the most powerful composite to hold it all together. The model’s green strength should be robust and stand on it’s own, and this is possible with zp®150 material.

With better color and whiteness of any previous materials used, it creates stronger models with better-looking final results. Using zp® 150 allows for a user-friendly, and shorter post-processing time as most parts can be removed right after the drying cycle is completed.
