TransMagic R8 Available with Auto Repair Wizard

WESTMINSTER, CO, May 14, 2009 – TransMagic Inc., the leading developer of precise, easy-to-use 3D data exchange software, today announced the release of TransMagic R8. This version introduces leading-edge features designed to make 3D designs accessible to all who need them. TransMagic R8 includes a new Auto Repair Wizard, a fresh look to the graphical interface, increased processing speed, assembly hierarchy support and updated CAD version support.

New automated functionality in TransMagic R8 continues the company’s trend of making 3D data exchange easy for everyone. TransMagic R8 introduces an innovative Auto Repair Wizard. This unique Wizard analyzes and validates the quality of 3D geometry and offers single-click “best practice” options to repair the model. The Wizard guides the user through simple steps to ensure the best quality results from any model translation.

"TransMagic R8 provides a quantum leap forward in ease-of-use, automation and file validation," said Todd Reade, President of TransMagic. "3D data is now accessible to anyone for re-use without requiring special training. This release embodies our easy-to-use philosophy and gives customers sophisticated one-click tools to become data exchange masters."

TransMagic R8 now utilizes assembly structures and hierarchy for rapid viewing, selecting or exporting individual part models or whole sub-assemblies with a single click in the assembly browser. Increased productivity and smaller file size are accomplished with new file pre-processing which identifies multiple instances of the same part. In models containing more than one ‘instance’ of the same part, the part is only translated once then reused as needed within the assembly providing smaller file sizes, shorter translation times and better efficiency when working with large assemblies.

To provide 3D data exchange options for more applications, TransMagic added new output formats including binary STL and OBJ files. Binary STL files can provide a 10x file size reduction over ASCII STL files. OBJ files can be used to transfer models into popular products such as Autodesk AliasStudio, Maya and 3ds Max. In addition, TransMagic R8 provides new functionality to combine plant design models with metadata exported from PDMS for use in CAD or PLM systems.

TransMagic R8 supports new CAD file versions including CATIA V5 R19, Pro/ENGINEER WildFire 4.0, SolidWorks 2009, Siemens NX 6.0, ACIS R19, Parasolid v20, Autodesk Inventor 2010 and HOOPS 16.

TransMagic reduces the costs of translating, repairing and repurposing design data for use in 3D applications. Visit www.transmagic.com. for more information and a free 7-day trial.
