DezignWorks Solutions for Autodesk Inventor

We all know how powerful and widely used Autodesk Inventor is and what a great tool it is for creating and editing CAD models. Emicroscribe has teamed up with DezignWorks to bring the customer a very robust solution for gathering feature based information from the physical part directly into AutoDesk Inventor.

 Product Information

DezignWorks is a feature based reverse engineering product integrated inside Autodesk Inventor. DezignWorks automatically creates 2D and 3D features, incorporating its own intelligent extrude command. Complex 3D shapes is DezignWorks forte, simply move the digitizer device across the complex shape and the continuous movement of the device is stored allowing for interactive editing of the data or to automatically capture more data with our patent pending Database Manager. DezignWorks insures that all geometry elements are fully parametric and conforming to the feature-based intelligence of Inventor.  Get on the fast track to reverse engineering with DezignWorks.

 

DezignWorks, a feature based reverse engineering software product, now supports AutoDesk Inventor 2009. Engineers and designers use DezignWorks and AutoDesk Inventor to capture data from existing parts directly within the Inventor 2009 environment maintaining the associativity so they can design better products faster and more accurately, speeding time to market.

DezignWorks, known as the industries' standard solution for feature based reverse engineering for SolidWorks, now brings their patent pending technology to Inventor 2009. DezignWorks has the ability to capture data directly from a digitizer device within the native Inventor 2009 interface, creating native features, allowing interactive editing. With DezignWorks patent pending data collection method all the movement of the device is stored in the device manager so data can be reused again and again without the need to re-digitize the model. For a complete review take the DezignWorks Test Drive.

Creative Dezign Concepts Inc, an Autodesk Inventor development partner, enables DezignWorks users to perform reverse engineering functions directly inside the Inventor 2009 interface and create feature based models utilizing digitizer devices such as  MicroScribe. DezignWorks in conjunction with Inventor 2009 expands on the software’s legacy of ease of use, design power, and affordability by providing users with comprehensive drawing tools and new productivity features that will speed the adoption of 3D design to the world. DezignWorks gives engineers the functionality to capture data from their existing part and create an intelligent feature based model, allowing the engineer to make changes rapidly while preserving the associativity to the part. DezignWorks can be used in a 2D or 3D sketch.

A recent study estimated that 80% of new designs came from existing designs, usually an existing part. Utilizing DezignWorks, a feature based product instead of a point cloud product, gives the engineer the ability to capture the exact shape, even complex surfaces, directly inside the Inventor 2009 interface and then make changes rapidly to meet the needs of the new products and improve the design for the ever changing market needs. DezignWorks offers best- fit capabilities for lines, arcs, circles and splines. DezignWorks offers several utilities for curve editing such as maintaining minimum distance while capturing complex curves as well as spline uniformity tool.
