Free 3DPartFinder License to be Offered at SolidWorks World

MONTREAL, Canada, Jan 30, 2012 - SolidWorks Solution Partner 3DSemantix today announced that it will demonstrate its integrated 3DPartFinder geometry-based search engine for SolidWorks at the SolidWorks World 2012 at the San Diego Convention Center, February 12 - February 15, 2012, San Diego, CA.

3DPartFinder for SolidWorks is a revolutionary shape search product that finds and displays parts similar to the initial inquiry. And now, with the integration to SolidWorks Workgroup PDM and Enterprise PDM, finding your parts and its related information has never been easier.

Show attendees will see how 3DPartfinder and SolidWorks software allow customers to:

Find and reuse: The advanced geometry-based search capability of 3DPartFinder accurately identifies similar parts and duplicates and enables part reuse. It also promotes knowledge re-use in core engineering while minimizing time and expenses associated with designing or purchasing duplicate parts.

Reduce your costs: Less new parts created or designed from scratch. Save Engineering time (design & reuse), cost in tooling, prototype, CNC programs, tests, certifications.

Innovate and Deliver you project faster: Less new parts created or designed from scratch will lead to faster project delivery but not only that, it will allow you to spend more time where it counts: INNOVATION.

Working directly within the SolidWorks environment to access geometric search via 3DPartFinder not only increases engineering productivity, but also fuels innovation that helps engineers design better products. Launch 3DPartFinder and suitable matches are displayed in a SolidWorks assembly. Parts are ranked according to their similarity to a reference part. Being into SolidWorks, users can conduct immediate analysis of the selected 3D models using any of the known SolidWorks functions to make their final choice. The user can easily launch another search using any file result in the previous geometrical query.

3DSemantix is so confident about 3DPartFinder efficiency that during the SolidWorks World 2012 it will give the first licence for free(1) to all participants so they can get started.

“The outlook of the global economy remains uncertain. Knowing that, it has never been more important to bring innovation in your new products while achieving lower product cost. 3DPartFinder allows you to work on both sides of the equation which makes it among the most profitable product of the CAD industry," explained Alain Coulombe, Chief Executive Officer of 3DSemantix, and Chairman of the Board of ADRIQ, the leading Association for Innovation in Quebec, Canada. “By integrating 3DPartFinder to SolidWorks, all designers can use the shape search engine to create only the necessary parts and therefore allocate more time on innovation.”

At SolidWorks World, design teams can learn more about how SolidWorks and 3DPartFinder enables them to streamline product development, reuse, reduce product cost and be more innovative.

Any SolidWorks representatives that are interested in reselling 3DSemantix’s new software are invited to visit the company on booth 416.

About 3DSemantix

3DSemantix has created the semantics that allow one to search for similar parts using a 3D MODEL as input to the search engine, not alphanumeric characters. Our first product using this new semantics is a shape-based search engine: 3DPartFinder. For further 3DPartFinder finds all your similar parts based on their SHAPES. You can launch a search using a known CAD model (blue) or from a 3D sketched of the target part done in SolidWorks. 3DPartFinder will find all similar parts (gold) and duplicate (brown). When Linked to Enterprise PDM the different part version can appear in the Y axis. information on 3DPartFinder for SolidWorks, visit www.3dpartfinder.com.
