advanced rendering capability
high-end product rendering
capabilities including ray tracing
and depth of field
multiple material types for photo-
realistic modelling
advanced lighting effects, realistic
reflections, and shading
improved design presentation
allows better marketing and more
informed decision-making before
costly prototyping
develop complex surface geometry
using sweeps, blends, extensions,
offsets, etc’
use the ‘warp’ feature to push, pull,
and twist any 3D geometry with
ease
complex 3D modelling – sweep / warp
create walls easily, speeding your design tasks
apply material properties of sheet metal to accurately calculate bend length
apply manufacturability checking while designing
produce accurate flat patterns automatically
easily create any type of hem, notch punch or relief
designing sheet material parts
laser cutter layout
creating engineering drawings
