Modelling solution unbundled on website
IX Design, the 3D modelling solution from ImpactXoft Corp, can now be purchased and downloaded online from the company's website.
With ImpactXoft's IX SPeeD V5 Suite, only the changes made to a design are transmitted within extremely small files across globally distributed teams, making it possible for the first time for product development teams to work in parallel on the same design with the flexibility and convenience of mobile computing devices.
In addition, the IX SPeeD V5 Suite is the only 3D design solution natively interoperable with Dassault Systemes' CAA V5 platform, adding another layer of communications ease and flexibility across the enterprise supply chain.
"Now the engineer can go directly to the shop floor with a laptop and implement and communicate design changes on the fly to the entire distributed team", said Attilio Rimoldi, President and CEO of ImpactXoft.

Second award for modelling software
IX SPeeD Suite from ImpactXoft has been selected as a winner of the July 2002 Editors' Choice Award from Cadence magazine.
"Before this capability, engineers didn't have powerful enough portable computers to run CAD on the shop floor, and they couldn't just share the changes they made, but had to transmit the entire design which demanded far too much processing power for any laptop".
"With Intel Centrino mobile technology-based mobile workstations running ImpactXoft's IX SPeeD V5 design solution, the ability for a global network of product developers to work in parallel - once thought of as a vision for the future - is now possible today", said Ken Versprille, Research Director, Design Creation and Validation for CPD Associates.
ImpactXoft and Intel demonstrated the mobile collaborative design capability at COFES and COE earlier this spring.
Pilot tests of the solution in a manufacturing setting are currently underway, running the IX SPeeD V5 Suite on HP laptops and tablet PCs powered by Intel Centrino mobile technology.
"Global economic forces are making efficient communications more important than ever, especially for the manufacturing industry", said John Davies, Vice President and Director, Intel's Solutions Market Development Group.
"The combination of the IX SPeeD V5 Suite with the outstanding mobile performance and WLAN capability of Intel Centrino mobile technology gives engineers a collaborative design technology with the ability to implement, share, and merge changes, while improving the manufacturing process".
