With SpaceClaim, you work directly with the 3D model to fully investigate the impact of each idea and validate the geometry of change requests before sharing them with the design team. This improves the quality of each design iteration and frees the CAD designer to work with only valid requests, resulting in higher quality products and shorter time to market.
SpaceClaim Professional fits into the existing workflow of product development by enabling users to import and work with models created in many CAD systems. Additionally, SpaceClaim's open XML data format ensures that its customers, rather than the software vendor, retain ownership of and access to their product data. |

Bihler Softw@re bNX – The next generation – Technology Software for 3D design
Developing high quality products fast and economically is an essential challenge in today’s globalized world economy. In order to maintain their competitiveness, companies have to continuously improve their core process – the development of their products. Bihler Software bNX offers leading technical functions facilitating complex tasks required in various areas for development, analysis, manufacture, marketing and maintenance. Development of successful products cannot be left to chance. In the past it was very hard giving concrete information on the products’ performance, quality and appearance during the development process. Almost always expensive protoypes had to be manufactured. Thanks to the Technology Software bNX, processes can be analyzed, configured, designed and simulated when developing and designing punching and forming tools. Due to the virtual product development, which allows for verification in the run-up phase, development risks as well as development times can be reduced considerably.
