It’s not being touted as a competitor to the mainstream product development systems, but rather something a little more leftfield, a product that does things that other typical history/ feature systems can not. Rather than focussing on what’s new with the 2009 release, I’m going to look at the system as a whole and where it fits into the crowded product development sector.Īfter a tumultuous two years, things have finally started to settle down in terms of how SpaceClaim is being positioned.
Much has been said about the product, which rather than relying on a construction history, adds intelligence to the model, regardless of the source. Two years ago the company appeared out of nowhere and showed off its eponymous entitled SpaceClaim application. While there are many reasons that this has happened (advances in solid modelling algorithms and CPUs), it got kick started by the new kid on the block, SpaceClaim. If the twenty-year ‘overnight’ success of direct modelling/direct editing has done one thing, it’s made 3D CAD interesting again. Over the past two years the movements of many vendors, new and old, have seen a rebirth of interest in a field that many pundits considered to be mature, tired and almost squeezed dry of innovation. The world of 3D product development technology appears to be in a state of flux.
