SpaceClaim LTX for Rhino is a robust 3D modeling software for mechanical design with the ability to read and write Rhino 4.0 files and also to export STEP and IGES files. SpaceClaim LTX for Rhino is the 3D productivity tool for engineers who contribute to the design and manufacture of mechanical products across a broad range of industries. The software provides a flexible design environment coupled with a modern user experience that speeds contributions to the product development process. SpaceClaim bridges the gap between designers and those in the extended product development team such as concept, analysis, and manufacturing engineers, engineering management, and suppliers, who lack access or time to master the designers’ 3D CAD system. SpaceClaim has an open file format and data exchange capabilities to support design sharing and ensure fit within the existing development process.

SpaceClaim LTX for Rhino thus lets the extended development team import and work freely with the designer’s model, without having to understand the method used to construct it. Engineers across multiple disciplines are able to immediately add their expertise to the design, rather than spend time deciphering the model or struggle with the software, increasing productivity and hastening time to market.

Individual Value Proposition

• Improves personal productivity
• Allows rapid design iterations
• Modern user experience – reduces learning curve

Organizational Value Proposition

• Enables 3D communication and collaboration in the extended enterprise
• Permits the full team to deliver precise design input earlier in the process, when it is most cost-effective
• Enables current and legacy CAD models to be modified for functional use without requiring expertise in the native CAD system
• Provides for more complete digital content in the PLM system

SpaceClaim LTX for Rhino provides a CAD interoperability solution for designers and those in the extended product development team—such as concept designers, manufacturing engineers, analysis engineers, engineering managers and the supply chain — to improve 3D collaboration and communication.

---

With SpaceClaim, the extended team can work directly with the 3D model to fully investigate the impact of each idea and validate the geometry of change requests before sharing them with the design team. This improves the quality of each design iteration and frees the CAD designer to work with only valid requests, resulting in higher quality products and shorter time to market.

SpaceClaim LTX for Rhino fits smoothly into the existing workflow of product development by enabling users to import and work with models created in many CAD systems. Additionally, SpaceClaim’s open XML data format ensures that its customers, rather than the software vendor, retain ownership of and access to their product data.

Dynamic Modeling

SpaceClaim LTX for Rhino provides a highly adaptive design environment that supports unanticipated design directions, making SpaceClaim ideal for conceptual design, design creation, and modification.

Geometric Inferencing

works unobtrusively and in real time to highlight design similarities, such as equal radius holes or coplanar surfaces, during geometry creation and modification, improving user productivity.

Associations

collect related geometry together and apply design intent, such as mirror or pairing of surfaces. Associations can be readily turned on or off as the design needs change.

Integrated Workspace

for parts and assemblies supports top-down concept design by enabling creation and freely splitting and merging of components as the design progresses.

Open XML Data Format

makes all design data accessible for product data management and downstream applications, ensuring long-term protection of customer data.

Intuitive Work in 3D

SpaceClaim LTX for Rhino makes 3D accessible by enabling users to focus on their design, rather than on how to master the design software. Geometry can be created and freely modified as the design evolves from initial concept without knowing the final detailed design. This unprecedented level of design freedom makes it easy for anyone to work with a model, even one that was created by someone else. Design changes are made by directly selecting the geometry and pulling it to a new location. The design adapts in real time to the change based on what geometry is selected and the operation performed. The result is fast and flexible design changes that improves the quality of each design iteration and enhances personal productivity.

Raise Productivity

SpaceClaim LTX for Rhino takes advantage of modern user interface design and processing power to deliver the highest-level of user productivity. A single command performs multiple tasks based on user selection and context. The advanced GUI based on the latest Microsoft® technology enables users to focus on working with the design, rather than on working with the software. The interface provides all relevant options in a “heads-up display” along side the mouse cursor, eliminating unnecessary and time consuming mouse movements. SpaceClaim learns user preferences by tracking previous selections and actions, presenting them back to the user whenever relevant. The result is a highly efficient design environment and exceptional user experience.

Benefit from Industrial-Grade 3D

SpaceClaim LTX for Rhino provides a robust modeling environment and includes a powerful set of creation and modification tools for the design of mechanical parts and assemblies. The solution provides an integrated workspace ideal for top down design because as the design evolves components can be easily merged and split into separate parts all in a single workspace.

---

Fit in the Workflow

SpaceClaim LTX for Rhino complements the use of 3D CAD in the product development process. SpaceClaim opens 3D models from another CAD system. Once the model is opened it becomes a native SpaceClaim model. Designs can be exchanged in a variety of native-CAD and industry standard formats. To document design changes, SpaceClaim includes a 3D mark-up capability. By maintaining a clear and precise representation of the 3D design throughout the development process, both design cycle times and downstream errors are reduced.

Live support not included. No maintenance offer. Service packs included through to next release only.
