Customer Quotes
We identified a need for a 3D design tool for engineers involved in concept modeling and simulation that was easy to use, didn't require intensive training and yet was precise, powerful, and worked with our existing CAD and CAE tools. SpaceClaim met the key requirements of our global business units...
Andreas Hintz
Manager of Enterprise CAD/CAE/CAM
TE Connectivity (Tyco Electronics)
We chose SpaceClaim's solution because other tools were just too complex and the learning curve was very daunting. We can create and modify 3D models in SpaceClaim with a speed not achievable in other software tools evaluated.
Angela Delbridge
Senior Engineer
K2 Medical Systems
The argument for streamlining by enforcing a single CAD platform is a thing of the past. The goal is to streamline the workflow while introducing the best tools for every job. Although a mix of tools comes at a higher support cost, reducing wasted time in engineering and getting products to market faster is what gives us our competitive edge. We have achieved this goal by empowering our engineers with SpaceClaim.
