"3DView has always given us a consistent, easy-to-use interface to a wide variety of design files" observed Sean Halpin, Design Manager at Eifel Mold and Engineering, a key supplier to the automotive industry.
"Now, 3DView 4.0 makes sharing designs and collecting feedback easier than ever before.
Rapidly disseminating designs and collecting everyone's input is an integral part of bringing products to market, and 3DView 4.0 brings non-CAD users into that process with a seamless, powerful visualization solution.
We anticipate significant benefits to our business from the adoption of 3DView 4.0 throughout our company." Unlimited sharing of designs from 3DView 4.0 is made possible using Actify's free SpinFire Viewer.
All of Actify's visualization solutions share the standard view-only.3D file format, delivering complete, accurate, and secure design information in a highly compressed file.
SpinFire Viewer provides rotate, pan, and zoom as well as advanced cross-section capabilities for visualizing critical design details.
Direct measurements such as distances and angles are also provided, along with annotation features to facilitate collaboration.
"Actify led the way in establishing design visualization as a standard manufacturing tool for non-designers" remarked Cristiano Sacchi, Vice President of Engineering at Actify.
"3DView helps our customers understand critical design details regardless of design format.
Now, Actify takes visualization a step further by integrating design communication directly into the visualization environment.
Effectively communicating design feedback yields cost-savings and shortens time-to-market for manufacturers, and involving non-designers is now easier than ever before.".
