components
Or solid assembly in simple geometry objects or complex organic shapes
3. Fast Geometry Creation
Discovery SpaceClaim excels at fast creation of any 3D geometry. Streamlined tools and workflows mean you can create rough concepts, detailed designs, tooling/fixtures, CAE-related geometry, or reverse engineer STL files into clean 3D CAD models in seconds. You can also get ANSYS Electronics Suite 2023 R1 By LicensedSoft.
4. STL file manipulation
Using SpaceClaim’s faceted data editing tools, you can query, repair and optimize STL files for downstream use, such as 3D printing and reverse engineering. You can also get ANSYS Products Suite 2023 R1 Full By LicensedSoft.
5. Model repair
Discovery SpaceClaim’s automatic repair tool can quickly repair dirty and incomplete CAD files, thus speeding up your meshing time.
6. Simple Tools
With just four tools that perform 80% of common modeling tasks, you’ll find Discovery SpaceClaim the easiest CAD tool you’ll ever learn.
7. CAD import and editing
Open and edit CAD files for conceptual design, manufacturing, 3D printing, reverse engineering and simulation. Removing, simplifying and editing complex features is no problem with Discovery SpaceClaim’s modification and removal tool. Changing geometry dynamically is easy.
8. Versatility
You can think of Discovery SpaceClaim as a multi-purpose 3D modeler. No matter where or where 3D data is available, Discovery SpaceClaim can provide efficiency gains for everyone involved.
