VX Corporation Licenses D-Cubed’s 3D DCM Component
Cambridge, England. – Apr. 17, 2002 – D-Cubed Ltd. announces that its 3D DCM (Dimensional Constraint Manager) component has been licensed by VX Corporation, of Palm Bay, Fla., the pioneering developer of advanced, integrated CAD/CAM solutions for engineers and industrial designers, for integration into VX CAD/CAM software. Award-winning VX software is a fully-integrated CAD/CAM environment that provides advanced three-dimensional surface and assembly modeling, mold design and manufacturing planning for rapidly developing high-quality products. Within VX, the 3D DCM will animate and investigate movable assembly mechanisms to ensure proper functioning of linkages and movement of underconstrained assembly parts. The 3D DCM is the industry’s most widely used 3D geometric constraint solving system, allowing a broad range of dimensions and constraints to be added between the full spectrum of geometries found in mechanical CAD applications. "VX is well-known for developing sophisticated CAD/CAM technologies in-house," said John Owen, managing director of D-Cubed. "Hence, we are delighted that they have chosen D-Cubed to supply their assembly and mechanism constraint technology. VX CAD/CAM is noted for the sophistication of its surface design techniques and their close integration with its own powerful solid modeling engine. The timing of VX's adoption of the 3D DCM is therefore particularly appropriate, with many current developments at D-Cubed being focused on support for parametric curves and surfaces, including NURBs." "We are committed to maximizing the productivity of our customers by quickly and cost effectively applying advanced, manufacturing-oriented design technology in a user-friendly form," said Mark Vorwaller, president and CEO of VX. "By adding the leading 3D DCM assembly constraint engine from D-Cubed, VX software offers even more advanced technology for speeding up product development by our users." About D-Cubed Ltd.Founded in 1989 in Cambridge, England, D-Cubed provides software components and technical consulting services to the CAD/CAM/CAE application development industry in all areas of geometric, solid and variational/parametric modeling. Most of the world’s leading CAD vendors have adopted one or more of D-Cubed’s widely respected component technologies for integration into their end-user applications. We have never developed, and do not intend to develop, our own end-user applications. This focus avoids any competitive conflicts of interest with our customers. About VX CorporationVX Corporation is the pioneering developer of advanced, integrated CAD/CAM solutions for engineers and industrial designers. Using VX’s design-through-manufacturing solutions, companies can speed time-to-market, increase profitability and gain a sustainable competitive advantage – made possible by new breakthroughs in technology, price and performance. Unlike conventional CAD/CAM systems, VX technology is built on an exclusive, high-performance VX Overdrive engine that delivers sophisticated 3D hybrid modeling capabilities and provides interoperability with emerging process management and engineering tools. Some of the world’s leading manufacturers rely on VX software to drive the design, engineering and manufacturing of innovative products.
