FEATURED SOFTWARE:

Pro/ENGINEER Interactive Surface Design Extension
Free-form surfacing for rapid and extreme product design

Pro/ENGINEER Interactive Surface Design Extension (ISDX) delivers the ultimate integration of 3D design and engineering. By combining the power of parametric modeling with the flexibility of free-form surfacing, you can now create complex, free-form curves and surfaces directly within a single, intuitive, and interactive design environment.

This unique environment allows designers and engineers to not only utilize the power of free-form surfacing, but to also leverage rich functionality such as behavioral modeling, drafting, simulation and manufacturing from within a single application.

KEY BENEFITS

  • Build free-form geometry at any point in the design, using as many or as few constraints as desired, for maximum design flexibility
  • Focus on adding value to your design, not on transferring and interpreting data
  • Easy to learn and use, to quickly define curves and surfaces resulting in a faster ROI
  • Full associativity allows the surfaces and curves to instantly adapt to design changes, reducing product development time
  • Import 2D images and 3D geometry for use as modeling references
  • Fully control positional, tangency, and curvature conditions
