Delcam Offers World's First Stand-alone SDRC Translations
March 14 2002 -- Delcam has released a new version of its PS-Exchange online data translation service featuring the world's first stand-alone translator for EDS PLM Solutions' SDRC software. All previous SDRC translators have required the user to own a seat of the software before any translations could be undertaken. Other improvements to the service include a streamlined interface making translations even easier to complete, a new account management option that allows regular users to store their details on the system rather than having to complete the same forms repeatedly, and the ability to pay in advance for a number of translations instead of having to authorise each individual payment. The addition of the SDRC option to PS-Exchange will enable toolmakers and other subcontractors to read such files supplied by their customers without any need to purchase extra software. The full range of options for input into PS-Exchange is now CATIA, Pro/Engineer, Unigraphics, SDRC, SolidWorks, Solid Edge, Cimatron, Parasolid XT, IGES, VDA and STEP, while files can be exported as IGES, Parasolid XT, STEP or as Delcam's own DGK format. PS-Exchange offers two advantages of over other online translation providers - speed and security. Other services require the CAD model to be sent to the service provider for translation and then returned. With PS-Exchange, the translation software is stored on the user's own computer. To use the service, the user simply obtains a real-time authorisation from Delcam's web server - www.delcam.com. This approach gives much faster results since transferring a short authorisation code is much quicker and easier than transferring a complex CAD model. Once the authorisation has been obtained, the translation itself should never take more than a few minutes The service also gives total security. Since the model file stays within the users own computer, there is no chance of sensitive information being intercepted or mailed to an incorrect address. To test PS-Exchange, simply download the software from the Delcam Web Site
