Surfware Announces New Release of SURFCAM Solids Solid Solutions for Manufacturing Engineers

WESTLAKE VILLAGE, California - July 18, 2001 - Surfware, Inc., developers of SURFCAM� CAD/CAM Systems, announced today the release of a new version of their solids modeling software, SURFCAM Solids. The solids design module of SURFCAM's powerful suite of CAD/CAM tools is a procedural solid modeling system that automates the construction and editing of 3-dimensional models. It enables the manufacturing engineer or NC programmer to build parts faster and make design changes easier. More than a feature-based solid modeler, SURFCAM Solids reduces the number of steps it takes to create complex models. Each aspect of a procedure, including its sketches, geometric relationships, features, and parameters, is fully associative. Each can be modified independently and concurrently within the procedure, allowing substantial changes to the model without reconstructing geometry.

SURFCAM Solids is always in assembly mode. This allows the creation and assembly of multiple components within the same file; parts that have to work together can now be created together. Modify, reorder or remove actions in the history tree at the part or assembly level with the unique sequencer feature. All subsequent items on the history tree are automatically updated. No state-of-the-art solids modeler is complete without the ability to produce output files and drawings. SURFCAM Solids supports several output files including IGES, Parasolids, etc., to allow the manufacturing engineer or NC programmer to exchange ready-to-use model data with their customers and vendors. Detail drafting capabilities include the ability to create industry standard 2D drawings from 3D models using automated functionality. Extensive customizations give the flexibility to create and manage drawing data, including dimensions, title and revision blocks, ANSI geometric dimensioning and tolerance blocks, and much more.

SURFCAM Solids Plus combines SURFCAM's well-known surface modeler with the procedural solid modeling system. SURFCAM's surface modeler contains full complex surface creation abilities allowing quick and easy creation and editing of geometry and surfaces.
