ModuleWorks Bridge to Integrate with Siemens PLM Parasolid
Agreement to allow ModuleWorks partners to develop applications
that read directly from Parasolid
 PLANO,
Texas, July 27, 2010 - ModuleWorks, a leading supplier of CAD/CAM components for 3-5-Axis toolpath
generation and simulation, and Siemens PLM Software, a business unit of the
Siemens Industry Automation Division and a leading global provider of product
lifecycle management (PLM) software and services, confirmed an agreement that
will simplify and accelerate mutual customer integration of the ModuleWorks
software components with Siemens PLM Software’s Parasolid software.
By utilizing the ModuleWorks Bridge for Parasolid, ModuleWorks partners will
be able to develop applications to directly read models from Parasolid, the
world’s premier 3D geometric modeling kernel technology.
The ModuleWorks Bridge for Parasolid allows client applications to read and
query solid model topology and geometry and tessellate the model for toolpath
generation and simulation without the need for translation or conversion to any
other formats.
Product development on the bridge is now complete and it is available to
licensees of Parasolid as part of the ModuleWorks 2010.6 component software
release.
Technical Director, Dr David Plater comments, “We have many customers who use
both ModuleWorks and Parasolid in their products. By offering the Parasolid
bridge technology, we are able to provide an easy integration with Parasolid
geometry without the need for any translation or secondary layers.”
Joan Hirsch, Vice President, Product Design Solutions, Siemens PLM
Software comments, “This collaboration with ModuleWorks re-emphasizes Siemens
PLM Software’s commitment to openness and working constructively with industry
leaders in the interests of end-user value. The prominence of our two companies’
products in their respective markets further compounds the value this
relationship brings to the industries we serve.”
