PartXplore Distributed by TST Tooling Software Technology, this new software package from Vero Software, Cheltenham, England, provides 3-D views of CAD drawings. Users can build virtual prototypes or 3-D models imported from a wide range of file formats and applications. The program's features include options for users to note changes or observations and manage technical documents, as well as a range of tools for measurements and animations. The software, which is intended for both beginners and CAD experts, is useful for people in a broad array of jobs and departments, including design and sales teams.
What's new? Various features. They include better animations, a new tool for file conversion and a tool that allows users to fill in or patch surfaces that might be missing from data imported from other sources.
Benefits Ease of use, and high-speed, accurate simulations. According to Vero, PartXplore can often cut the time it takes to open a file in half, compared to opening it in the original CAD application. Using PartXplore, manufacturers can carry out a number of tasks without the original CAD information. Also, the program, which allows users to add and share notes, makes collaboration between people and departments easy.
