Motion controller is ideal CAD companion
Executing on its strategy of delivering professional user interface devices and software, 3Dconnexion has released the SpacePilot, billed as the first intelligent motion controller.
Intelligent motion controller speeds through CAD
3DConnexion has set up a programme which will allow users to trade-in their existing 3DConnexion motion controller for a SpacePilot, the company's first intelligent motion controller.
3Dconnexion's 3D mice are also compatible with eDrawings 2008, the free viewing and publishing application for sharing 2D drawings and 3D models, simplifying the review and annotation process with quick navigation.
3Dconnexion's SpaceExplorer enables CAD designers to navigate advanced functions, quickly view designs and execute favourite commands with one-touch access using the programmable speed keys for critical functions and keyboard modifiers.
Ziva Nissan, 3Dconnexion's Director of Product Marketing said: "3Dconnexion continues to collaborate with SolidWorks to provide tools to ease the design effort and help designers communicate and review products, ultimately bringing them to market faster".
"SolidWorks users working with SpaceExplorer do not have to move their hand from the ergonomically styled 3D mouse to manipulate 3D designs, which leads to increased productivity and a streamlined workflow".
The SpaceExplorer features an easy to use controller cap that can be pushed, pulled, tilted or twisted to simultaneously pan, zoom and rotate 3D objects and environments with greater ease and more control than can be achieved with a traditional computer mouse alone.
Pressure-sensing technology and intuitive software allow designers to easily accelerate or decelerate actions by varying the amount of pressure on the cap.
