DezignWorks

Additional software required: A licensed seat of SolidWorks 2004

Manufacturer: Creative Dezign Concepts, Mooresville, NC
www.DezignWorks.net

Key features:

• DezignWorks incorporates an Industry first feature that allows the user to apply SolidWorks constraints while digitizing. For lines, arcs, circles and splines, constraints such as horz, vert, fixed or for construction are available on the specified items property page. Seamlessly interfaced to SolidWorks.
• Automatically creates 2D and 3D features, including complex 3D shapes
• Real-time reverse engineering can be achieved on multiple parts and assemblies
• DezignWorks is fully integrated into the SolidWorks property manager allowing interactive editing of sketch entities ( lines, arcs, curves, splines, planes )
• Because of its seamless integration within the SolidWorks environment, DezignWorks is readily adaptable, following the configurations of any new or pre-existing part or assembly documents.
• Connect SolidWorks to the world by utilizing our configuration manager you can configure the digitizer the way you like it, even as your mouse to improve your productivity and ease of use

RevWorks 5

Creating parametric models of your parts and prototypes is easier than ever before using RevWorks™ 5 for SolidWorks®. This exciting new release brings more customer requested enhancements to an already powerful suite of reverse engineering tools. Our users benefit from RevWorks multitasking environment which allows them to use RevWorks in real-time with SolidWorks commands. RevWorks is the first feature-based reverse engineering solution for SolidWorks, the inventor of locked plane scanning (SnapScan™) and has a long history of improving productivity for our users worldwide. RevWorks provides direct interface to your MicroScribe 3D digitizer and the SolidWorks user interface by completing the link between real-world parts and solid modeling. All RevWorks digitized features are native SolidWorks geometry. You can collect part data and capture design intent more quickly and precisely than older technologies which rely totally on point cloud scanning. Using RevWorks, far less data is needed to get an accurate, parametric, editable part definition inside SolidWorks.

Additional software required: A licensed seat of SolidWorks.
