Anark Sells Entertainment Software Division
 BOULDER,
CO, May 14, 2008 -Anark Corporation, a leading provider of advanced 3D
solutions, today announced that it has sold its Entertainment Software
Division, including its award winning Gameface UI software platform. It also
completed an additional funding transaction that will allow it to focus
entirely on its rapidly growing Enterprise 3D CAD-PLM and Visualization
division.
Anark’s Entertainment Division has delivered powerful 3D tools and
middleware platforms to leading video game and entertainment content
developers since 2002. Anark’s products helped streamline interactive 3D
content creation and deployment for many industry leading customers, such as
Microsoft, Sony, and NVIDIA.
In mid-2007, Anark launched the Anark Core Platform, targeted at the
enterprise CAD-PLM market. This revolutionary software platform dramatically
reduces repetitive CAD file conversion and preparation tasks, enabling
efficient and secure interoperability between producers and consumers of 3D
CAD data for applications such as OEM-Supplier data exchange, technical
illustration, and visual-simulation.
The current platform, Anark Core version 1.1, provides users with
design-feature removal capabilities (parts, holes, fillets), then exports
modified CAD data into high-precision BREP and lightweight mesh file formats
including CATIA V4/V5, Parasolid, Pro/E, STEP, NX (formerly Unigraphics),
IGES, Collada, DWF, X3D, and VRML. All of these steps can be automated in
process-driven workflows specific to each project underway.
“Anark’s history working with leading manufacturers such as Boeing,
Cessna, Lockheed Martin, and Pratt & Whitney has given us considerable
experience overcoming major obstacles that prevent the effective use of 3D
product data throughout the enterprise and supply chain,” said Stephen
Collins, President and CEO of Anark Corporation. “The Anark Core Platform
has been well received by our customers, reducing the time and effort of
preparing 3D CAD files for data exchange, collaboration, and
visual-simulation applications by as much as 80 percent compared with
competing products and solutions.”
Anark is already ramping up its product development efforts, with the
goal of delivering Anark Core Version 2.0 in the coming months, as well as
continuing to evolve and expand the capabilities of the Anark Media
Platform. The company is also expanding its Sales Operations across North
America, Europe, and Asia.
